They're very good at dodging balls.

House of Grace Church in Cochran held another dodgeball tournament Friday night.  Proceeds went toward the church food bank used to help people in the community.  The winning team was one very familiar with dodgeball, having already won four previous tournaments.  They called themselves LVPD.  Team members are Dusty Jones, Austin Jones, Spence Greer, Clint Wynn, and Kasey Lawson.
