Shawn Gillies and Kevin Sherman teamed up as "A" division doubles partners in the Jordan Valley Racquetball tournament September 19-22. Shawn and Kevin had played in one previous tournament, where they lost spectacularly. However, persistence pays off. They took first place in this tournament, and were awarded gold medals. Shawn and Kevin's new goal is to try and take on Fred Riley and Steve Dahl in a doubles match (with the proceeds going to charity). They are also hoping to be sponsored by LDS Family Services, complete with equipment and apparel (however, Shawn wants "adoption" on the apparel, while Kevin wants "clinical"). We hope they can work out their differences, and just get along.
I took the boys to watch them play their final match, which for spectators consists of looking at their backsides for 1 1/2 hrs. Next time, I'll bring the camera so I can put a photo of their muscle-y bums here for the viewing pleasure of all!
It is great that Kevin has his best buddy close by now and that they can pursue racquetball fame and fortune together. He has always more consistently enjoyed and participated in sports when he has had a good friend to play with: B-ball in MI with Brett, weight-lifting in college with Dan, running with Brian, etc. Go team!

Nice. Muscely bums? Bum looker!
WOW, Emily! I didn't know you felt that way about me! Let me know when you will be at our next tournament and I'll be sure to wear my old skin tight 70's shorts to make it worth your while! In the meantime, I'll continue doing squats and wall sits to strengthen the muscles in my buttox! GRRROWWWWLLL!!
Of all the nice and meaningful things I said about them, both these guys seem to have fixated on a silly anatomical reference-see, they are twins!
Shawn, the fact that you own tight, 70's style shorts is an over-share.
Kevin & Shawn,
A couple of points on the 'get over yourselves' chart:
there were four players on the court
and
my target audience here is my family and friends out of state-to inform and amuse- not to stroke your egos!
oh my. Thanks to all these comments, I will NEVER attend a raquetball tournament. The last thing I need is Shawn to tell ME that I was looking at his bum. and I'm gonna agree with Mom, that was definitely an overshare. Remind me never to marry a man who plays raquetball.
