Handball 45:00 [2]
Cutthroat with Lucas and Steve B. Lucas is a notch better than me, but prone to "mental naps". Steve is a notch and a half worse than me. If I am either "on" or "off", a match such as this will be very non-competitive.
Game 1: My serve was on for the first game and I ran out to a 16-5-6 lead. That woke Lucas up but he was missing more shots than I can recall him missing ever, so his comeback was not enough. I won 21-15-8.
Game 2: Now I couldn't make a shot and Lucas was more solid. The score says it all. 5-21-3. The difference - when he can't make a shot, I can sometimes win; when I can't the match is a "laugher".
Game 3: I started with eight quick points including three service aces. I finished with six and somehow took the evening game total: 21-12-1.
Interestingly, due to the whomping I took the second game, I lost the total points battle 47-48-12.
