opportunities for gun fights either. Baumgardner described the field as dynamic, saying that it played well. But the best was definitely saved for last.
“ The last 30 minutes of the game, it was truce time,” said Baumgardner.“ Everyone turned on the Char, and we pounded them so hard that they literally just left the field.”
Led by Dezi Johnson, another co-producer, the Char was primarily made up of a local team The Aztecs who have a reputation for their resilience and tenacity.
“ They had people running for the hills all weekend long,” said co-producer Joe Perez,“ So, the generals came to me and we organized a truce for a specific time for some good old fashion payback. The Char was notified of the treason that was a foot and enter the field music blasting and guns blazing. It was awesome.”
“ They’ re an amazing group of guys who do any and everything,” said Baumgardner.“ So to walk them off the field was an accomplishment.”
A challenge did arise when Beast Buamgardner had a medical emergency on Saturday afternoon, and had to be carried off the field. But he said that the community did not skip a beat in picking up the slack. James“ CK” Ogg of Non Profit Painters stepped up with his squad to take the reins while the Beast was down. According to Baumgardner, showed CK showed natural leadership ability and didn’ t miss a beat. Still, the dominance of the Blue team was too much to overcome.
Ultimately, the Red team would succumb to the Blue was of Rivas, and the Blue team would win by a 150-point margin.
“ Overall, the game seemed really well received by the Texas community, and it was the biggest this field has seen in many years,” Baumgardner said. He went on to explain that the event was up against a local tournament, but believes that as the game becomes more established, it will draw a broader audience.
