We won the base championship and moved on to play the Regimental Tournament. We lost our first game to HQ from Fulda and they started talking smack. Our minds and hearts were set, we didnt care what we had to do but we only wanted to play them again. Well, as fate would have it we did see them again, in the finals. We totally dominated them even though we had to play 7 straight games back to back to do it and we were Regimental champions. We then moved on the the V corp championships in Frankfurt. There were only 4 team in this and the winner was going to have an opportunity to play the all army team and I wanted it badly. We won our first game and then played 97th General Hospital. We won and people walked over to us in unbelief because 97th had not lost a game all year, they were 42 & 0 in the won and lost column. Well, we made them mad and they came back and hammered us 11 - 2 two straight games. We finished second in the V corp. Not too bad for K Troop from Bad Hersfeld. We were Base champs, Regimental champs and runner up in the V corp. I was voted the MVP for the base and in the Regimental tournament. I just thought some guys might like to read this. joe Walker AKA Bama
