Fountain City Cornhole Championship Matches (Who Will Win?)

All right, here we are, Fountain City Cornhole. Friday night, it's our third place game. We got myself, Cruella, and our guest commentator is Remy. That's right. You just took fourth place, right? Yeah. Yeah. So close to getting in. You guys did good, though. Fifth place. It was fifth place? No, fourth place, you're right. Yeah, fourth place, yeah. This is gonna be. All right, these bags will be live. We got Frankie and Caleb. New face, Caleb. I love that we got new faces in the. Yeah, it's always nice to see new faces. And then, on the other side, we got Bud and Chris. We all know Bud. Yeah, Bud's a regular. Remy's dad. He's a staple in this. So I'm not surprised to see him playing. We had a big crowd, 22 players. Yeah, really good turnout tonight. It's nice, nice to see them. Yeah. Nice to see it filled up again. We had a lot of new faces, which is nice, too. Yeah, quite a few new faces, which is always good to. We had a soldier on family day leave, huh? Yeah. Family day, he's like, I'm gonna go play some cornhole. And then, rocked everybody. You get a day away from post, and you come to play cornhole, that's awesome. But 9.98 overall. Yeah, he was a good shooter. All right, Remy, what's the game plan here? Down 2-0, what does Bud and Chris need to do? I would say, try to block. Try to what? Like, whenever Bud gets the bags. Yeah. You can say dad. Is it weird? You can say dad. When my dad gets the bags. I would try to block him, and try to make him miss. Make him go around. Because when he gets, like, on, he can throw them. Yeah. And he's been throwing fast side all night. Yeah, absolutely. Not sure why it didn't update on my end, but the score is 5-0, Frankie and Caleb. Not sure why it didn't update either. We'll see what happens on this next. There it goes, there it goes. It's just delayed. We're sitting 8-0 here. Yeah. We need to, we need to start doing something. Yeah. They're going to get away from him fast. Ooh, nice. Chris can get Bud first bag, that'd be a good start. Yeah, first bag's crucial. Especially with Bud, because he can get that low block, and then the signature Bud push. Yeah, he blocked me a couple times tonight. First bag throw, and he throws it right in my way. I'm like, all right. It's a good strategy. It is. Remy, how'd you throw today? Well, my first game, I threw like a 3.55 APR. Did you really? So that explains my first game. And then, I started, I think the reason that I threw so bad my first game, is because I was kind of nervous, because like, I did not know who that man was. Your partner? Yes, I had no idea who it was. Ooh, a 10-10 walker. Yeah, I threw with a stranger today too, it was awkward. And, so then. Because you don't know their style. I tried to throw his bags, just like, throwing them, and they were like, too slow, which sounds weird coming from me. And then we went back to mine, and then I like, found it. And then, I think we both kind of fell apart in the fourth place game. Yeah, it's hard to adjust to somebody else's bags. And, that was my first time throwing inside all night. Oh, wow, you threw inside. Yeah, I can see how that was awkward. We're just washing right now. Back-to-back washes. That's the best you can hope for when you play with Frankie. Yeah. Is to just wash. Don't let him get ahead of you. He stayed two ahead of me the whole time I played him. Caleb's holding strong with a nine right now, so like, if you get Caleb and Frankie on the same page, that's a dynamic duo. Yeah. There we go, Bud's getting two. And Chris was nervous earlier when we started the tournament. He said he hadn't played good the past two nights, so he was a little worried about tonight. Look at him. I mean, he played good last night. He had Ghost, so. He said he didn't play that good last night. Oh, man, I thought he played pretty well. Then again. Probably our standard, is it? Then again, you know, I won last night, so. Rub it in. There you go. Back bar. Make Frankie do some work. Get in Frankie's way, make him shoot. Oh! Trick shot off the ceiling. That's a half point right there. What can Frankie do with this? Oh, my God. Wow. That's amazing. We'll take a 7-7 wash right there. Yeah. I'm sorry if you can hear the karaoke going on out there. Yeah. There we go. That Bud block, there we go. Bud block, yeah. Go ahead and, ooh. You have to push through that. Oh, another savior. That's not bad right there. That's what he was trying to do. Set yourself up. Yeah. Nice block. Nice little back block there. There's a little gap for him to go through. That's actually not bad, because he still leaves his block there. Still got the one hanging. There you go. 5-3 right there. All right, so we're sitting 8-4. He's turning into a ball game. Yes. Focusing on finding their groove. Yep. There you go. He's got to hold Frankie. Hold Frankie. That's all you got to do. We're looking at Caleb's throwing a 7-6. Frankie's got an 8. Bud's 7-4. Chris 7-4. Everybody's very equally matched up right now. Uh-oh. Typical. It's okay. Ooh. Oh, no. Got to take advantage of these. Got to take advantage of them. It's all right. Get the two, get the two. Two points right there. Are you good at shaking that stuff off when you frontboard or shank one off the side? It depends on the pressure. Yeah. Like when we went to bobbers and the blind draw, I had a really good partner and it was, we were playing against Ben Barron. Oh, yeah, he's good. Yeah. He's very good. And we were up 20-14 and I frontboarded my first bag. Oh, I hate when I do it. And then I threw a two on his 12. So it really just depends on how much pressure and what's on the line. Line, yeah. I have a hard time shaking it off. Well, my way of kind of shaking it off is like if I frontboard, then I'll ask them to move the bag and then I'll wait for them to throw. And then I'll kind of like step back and like regroup. Yeah. All right. Brian had to tell me that a lot during the league and just springly to step back. Yeah. Because I was letting things frustrate me. I had Bud Chris battle back and now I'm sitting 9-8. Yeah, this is a good comeback. Yeah, when you make a, you know, an error and then you compound it onto another error, you gotta just be able to step off, take a deep breath, reset. Yeah. Let it go. Gotta be like a goldfish. Gotta be a goldfish, man. You gotta. I'm great at shooting. I'm just going onesies, twosies now. You gotta take advantage. When Frankie misses, you gotta take advantage. Yeah, absolutely do. Look at this milk burn. He'll get locked in and then you're not gonna stop. Yeah. That's the good thing about throwing a slick bag is like if you just get it near the hole. Just get it close, yeah. Just drips right in. All right, we're going back and forth on the score here. I didn't get a chance tonight to play with my bags at all. Did you? We threw, well, they're not technically my bags. They're Skylar's bags, but like she doesn't really play. Yeah. So. We kind of got to use familiar bags. And they're the Elite 1839s. Oh. Oh, the River Special. Wait, you have 1839s? Well, Skylar has some and then I have some like bottom lane camo ones. And I'm trying to get a throw on because I think that I need to start throwing kind of a slicker bag. Which, not that they're slick, but. Yeah, I would love to have 1839 bags. I throw good with them. Every time River partnered with me, I play good with them. I mean, I know a guy. He might be able to get them. Yeah, I think so. The Rivers are like one of a kind. Woo! Oh my God, let's go! Beautiful! Dang. That's a dagger right there. Yeah. That stings. 1511. Still doable, though. It's not gotten away from him. No, I think Frankie's just trying a little too hard. Yeah, he's trying to overcompensate. Get the points. I know sometimes you have to take risks, but I'm so not a risk taker. Me either. Two more. They are killing the ghost song out there, man. Oh, yeah. Woo! Let's see if Frankie can get four points here. Oh, no. More than that. He can still get the four. Yeah. He needs to push through these. That was. That was a bold move. So, Frankie can get a little greedy here. He can try and do an airman and grab that back one. I. I wouldn't. I personally think just go right through it. Take your 10 points. 10 on three. Be happy. There you go. Great back. Now it's getting serious. Another lead change. 1817. Frankie and Caleb. Let's see what Bud can do here. He's gotta lay a blocker up there. Caleb should go in first back. Yep. I'd still lay a blocker. It's a bold block right there. Oh, he joined them. It did his job. It's all up to me to get over those low blocks. It's a mental thing. It is. Because it's like I don't hit right there. Yeah. But it's like. It's so hard. But you do it when something else is there. Yeah. There you go. Look at that. That is impressive. Oh, that was eights. Eight. Don't short yourself. It's a shootout right now. Yeah. Who's gonna get the ball last? In this case, who's getting the bags last? There you go. Leave that blocker. A little aggressive. Try and push through all of it. See, I would just. I would just load it. I'd be like, I'm good. We're getting his way because he's still got one more bag. It still worked. One fell, so that's. This is a nail biter. All right. Our PPRs are all right on top of each other. Are they? Yeah, seven four for Caleb, seven six for Frankie, seven four for Bud, and seven five for Chris. Okay. It's a very evenly matched. There you go. Bud is very capable of throwing these all in the hole. I hope. We need to air mail it for the wind. Well, we're gonna check it out. Remy, would you send it for the wind? Or would you play it safe and board it? Or would you play it safe for two? I would probably, if I could try to maybe cut around it a little bit. You do have a cut bag, so. And hopefully my partner could pick me up. Let's see what Bud's got here. I think he's gonna try and put it in. He does have a little cut bag. He does have the ability to cut in. Yeah. Here we go, foot ball. There you go. I think Bud's toe was over the line. It'd be great if we could put buzzers like mold. Oh yeah. Buzzing people. Instead it's just electrocuting. Yeah. Now you're talking my language. That's a joke, people. All right, here we go. Oh. All right, so Christian, take points. Oh no. Oh. Worst case. Uh-oh. If you can get this in, if he can get this in without taking any of his bags, it'd be all right. Take anything. I took a bag, but it's okay. It's okay. He's sitting nine, it'd be nine on eight, unless Frankie does Frankie and he grabs his bag. That's a perfect amount. Didn't he get a two goal off the bat? Oh, six? Six, yeah. If he gets it in the hole. It'd only be two if he puts it in. Oh, that's right, six eight. Weak. Here we go. I got a lead change. All right, here we go. I think a Bud finds my stomach and it's not even me playing. Nervous for them. Slick side bandit here. Front boards. It's a bold move. Let's see how it works out. It's gonna be tough. It's gotta be in. That's actually a great bat. Yeah, it is a good bat. You gotta shove it. All right, he's got a. You gotta hit it hard. You can do a from right to left cut. You can try and grab the other bag. And do a nine on eight. Yep. Nine eight. You gotta hit it just right. Can I get that one bag back? Yeah, can I get a bag back? So he, it is possible to grab this bag and do a nine on eight. It is. Oh, he almost did it. So close. But that's gonna be it right there. Eight seven. That was a good try. Frankie and Caleb will take it to the ship. Yep, no, on the double tap if they can. Yep, we're gonna take a brief pause. See you in a minute. All right, we're back. This is a championship game. Tracy and Lacey in the king seat. It's Caleb and Frankie who we just saw. This should be good. I haven't watched Tracy and Lacey tonight. I haven't had to lay eyes on them. I didn't have the pleasure, but I've seen them throw and I know what they're capable of. Yeah, I know what each of them are capable of, but I haven't seen them throw together tonight. To make an educated decision. It should be interesting, at least. It should. We got a eight five, it looks like. We're saying eight seven. Eight seven, yeah. Here we go. Tracy and Lacey off to defending their king seat. It is nice to have some of the pressure off knowing you just need to win one. Yeah, I like, you know, it's tough being in the king seat because you've been sitting for a minute and then getting back into that, like, all right, I gotta- You were hot, now you're cooled off. The mentality changes. It's always tough. Yeah. But, you know, you want to get one and done. You don't want to play that second. No, you don't want to be fourth into it. Ooh, okay. That's seven, eight seven. Another one point ticket, two zero. Yeah, two zero. Tracy's one of those, he's been playing the divisions. Yeah, the majors. He's gonna, he's an up and comer. Trying to catch- Him and his brother. Yeah. They're gonna rock it. Jackson's playing premier at Owensboro at Worlds. So, it's gonna be cool. And then Tracy's not far behind him. So, I would plan on seeing Tracy up there next season at least. Yeah. Getting into the premier division. Yeah, he's getting his feet wet this season. It's fun watching these kids. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'm always in awe of them. Embrace the game. I'm like, God. And they've been- They've been doing it shorter term than we have to. Yeah, yeah. That's what's crazy. So, a lot of natural talent in both those boys. Yeah, and these are the Allen boys. They are, you know, they ask a lot of questions. They pay attention to what the bigger throwers are doing. That's why they say kids are like sponges. Oh, yeah. They absorb everything. They are 100%. When you're an adult, you're stubborn. You're setting your ways. You're like, I don't want to throw like that. I don't want to do that. You can see them always changing their way that they throw and always learning. It's fun to watch them. They're sitting three-two right now. Tracy has trashed his throw a little. Yeah. But it is a very like flat bag. Flat bag, yeah. It stays really flat. There it is. That's a good catch. Yeah, he's definitely. Yeah. Similar to that. It used to be really hard. There used to be a lot of emotions watching the kids. Now, like Tracy especially, he had a lot of emotions. Yeah. He started putting away a little bit. Yeah. Gotta breathe. Not expressing it enough, which is good. Lacey just needs to keep Frankie out of the hole. Yeah, exactly. Maintain, like right now, getting two points right here is major. Oh, no. Getting four points would be great. Nope, all right. Couldn't take advantage. Nope. He still walked away with two, which is good. Score of five-five. Tracy just needs to, there you go. Steps up, steps off, takes a deep breath. Yeah. Re-engage. Might as well just test, textbook right there. Kayla with a block, kinda slow him down. Back block. There you go. I would flip it over and just go right through it. Take your two points. Oh, he's gonna roll. Nope. He could. He has a good rollback. He had the wrong grip on it when he went back. And there we go. Here's another one where he needs to, he needs to clean all these up. See, I would've just fast-sized it and tried to push one of them. So he's gonna get one out of this. Six-five. Tracy and Lacey taking a one-point lead. Again, all the PPRs are very evenly matched. Seven-two-five for Tracy, seven-three-three for Lacey. Seven-two-five for Caleb, and a seven for Frankie, which is very even. Actually very even. I wouldn't expect it to stay close to a seven for very much longer. No. Nice. Or just take it in. Oh, he's gonna grab this. Oh, no. I should just stop talking, because I feel like every time I say something expected, it just doesn't happen. Hey, it's not bad. Let's see if Caleb can stay away from the roll. Yeah. Oh, beautiful. Actually, I was about to, that was a smart move. Look at the block. Uh-oh. Yeah, I definitely would look at this. Literally just. Yeah, they each have one of them. Just plow through it. Unclog the hole. I think Tracy's sitting 12 right here. If he puts all these in, this is 12. He's got one in the back, doesn't he? Does he? I couldn't tell if that was his or not. I don't know. We'll see. He probably should have tried to step out and go through. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I thought. 10-7. That was a smart play, because he went through with a blocker. All he did was knock it and then sit. Sorry. Try to take me out with you, don't you? I could not tell you how many times. Chance to pick up four. Yeah. Locked in. Yeah. Wow. That's the Frankie right now. Now that's gonna sting a little bit. Yeah, that one's... I thought that was 12-5. Yeah, not 12-7, 12-5. That's very generous of you, Frankie. They appreciate it. Oh, it's gone. It's gonna go. Don't force it. Just let it do its thing. Ooh, now this is gonna be interesting. There you go. Nice. 12-4. That's a big round right there. Trading stings. Put some 19-12. King Seat is defending it very well. Lacey just needs to get the bags back. Yeah. Don't let up anything big. There you go, it's fine. Giving up two is perfectly fine. Put this one in. There you go, give up the two, give it back, trade some of these bags back. Ooh. Kaled's first bag. Nice. There you go. Try and slow him down, let's see what happens here. All right. He's off to the side, that's good. And that's what you gotta do. Dang. That's what you gotta do. That's beautiful. That bag does not matter anymore. Ooh. Just needs to be on the board. Bam. Woo! All right. What a game. There we go. 10-7, I'll call it. And King Seat takes it over. Tracy and Lacey are your champions. Thanks for coming out. We'll see you next time, I guess. Thanks for talking with us, Remy. We appreciate you stepping in. It was fun. We should have WAG next week. Yeah, WAG will be here. I will not. It's been like forever since he's commented. Well, we miss him, and it'll be great to hear him on the mic. Until next time, we'll talk to you later on.
