Last year he led his team to an embarrassing last-place finish in Viking Games II at the CCS Conference 2009. This year Kyle Bentz surprised everyone by leading the Beatitude Bulldogs to a final victory in Viking Games III.
"I have never felt more attacked in my life," said pastor David Guzik when asked to describe his participation in Viking Games III. He and Crosspoint Dublin's Kevin Fitzgerald (seen taking a hit in photo to the right) were selected to be the moving targets in the traditional Viking Games discipline "Shoot the Pastor" this year (where participants throw water balloons at the guest speakers for points).Competing in disciplines such as beach volleyball, football penalty shoot-out, rubber boot-throwing and the trademark feature "Shoot the Pastor", six teams battled it out for the overall victory this year. But in the end, it was Kyle Bentz & The Beatitude Bulldogs who came out on top.
"I've been training all year to do well and to erase the memories of last year's performance, to seek retribution. This year we had great unity in the team and everyone fought hard for victory. I guess spending most of this summer at Viking Games camp really paid off and polished us off for this year's games. I'm proud of the team," says a smiling Kyle Bentz.He adds that he will be ready to defend the title at next year's conference, thus sending a clear message to this year's defeated team captains to "bring it on!"...
