The Rose City Double-Dog-Dare Hoops Challenge:
• At stake: a 30 day mentorship for Kevin Ward from the “Windy City”
• The Games: best out of 5 games total – winner must be the victor in 3 out of the 5 competitions
THE SCORECARD
• TWO Games of H-O-R-S-E: no trick shots or dunks or shots requiring a great deal of “vert” – K. Ward utilizes his deep shooting range to place K. Carroll in a quandry and Ward takes a “W” in Game 1 but, K. Carroll rebounds in Game 2 to eek out a victory to even the series.
Game 1: WARD Game 2: CARROLL
• ONE Game of Around-the-World: back/forth + drain 3 consecutive free throws to complete the game; after a miss, you can take a “chance” on any shot (note: taking a chance on the first shot of the game + missing the “chance shot” is automatic W for other player!) Note: WARD loses Game 3 by taking a chance - K. Ward misses first shot in around-the-world contest, decides to take a chance, nonchalantly takes the chance shot (fully expecting to make it) and misses the shot! An “L” for Ward! Game 3: CARROLL
• TWO Games of SWISH: free throw shooting contest to score of 21- point scoring system: 1pt for made shot; 2pts for made shot that’s a “swish”; 3pts for made shot that’s a “swish” + it bounces back to shooter at foul line. K.Ward proves to be a free-throw shootin’ machine and locks into a shooting rhythm quickly and wins the first game comfortably.
Game 4: WARD
Game 5 saw K. Carroll jump out to a substantial lead and it looked like the series would be closed out quickly and then there was a small, yet very significant, paparazzi “incident” that nearly changed the outcome of the competition! K. Ward had new life but, couldn’t establish his shooting rhythm again and the result was his hardwood demise.
Game 5: CARROLL
FINAL SCORE: CARROLL - 3 GAMES WARD - 2 GAMES
The Rose City Double-Dog-Dare Hoops Challenge Winner: CARROLL*
*NOTE: In the true “katalytic” spirit, Kevin Carroll grants 30-day mentorship to Kevin Ward based on his demonstration of courage and commitment to his personal development and intention – well done, K. Ward!
