Synopsis

The Jock Squad is ready to play a championship round of adjective Dodgeball. As the announcers "SlamJam" person in room and "Fireball" person in room banter about how excited they are, the game begins. Batsby is the first eliminated, being hit in the noun. Dinger then ducks a shot thrown by Pucksie. Dinger returns fire, eliminating Pucksie. Dinger then takes aim at The In-Sole who leaps number inches to catch the ball, winning the game! Kikmee and "first name Guzzlerush" then hand out cups of type of liquid and everyone celebrates!

Notes

• A stock art image of Batsby is featured at the top of the page
• While this story is about the Jock Squad, the squad name is never given in the story.
• "Fireball" and "SlamJam" aren't identified beyond their nicknames, making it unclear if they are Jock Squad members or not.
• Since Kikmee shows up later in the Welcome to the Playroom story as a member of the Playroom Posse, other squads then the Jock Squad were able to attend the dodgeball game.
  • That said since only Jock Squad members actually played dodgeball Kikmee may have just been a spectator.
• "first name Guzzlerush" likely turns into a sports bottle like the other three Guzzlerushes.
  • It's unclear if they are a a Jock Squad member or not.
