TENNIS STAT(yellow)
Four entries on the scoresheet of a game played with rackets and a net. Two of them are things you want, and two are mistakes.
- WINNER
- ACE
- UNFORCED ERROR
- DOUBLE FAULT
MAKE GOOD CONTACT (IN BASEBALL)(green)
Four words a broadcaster reaches for when a hitter absolutely connects. One of them doubles as the fat part of the bat.
- CRUSH
- SMOKE
- BARREL
- LACE
ASSOCIATED WITH DAK PRESCOTT(blue)
One player ties these together: the number on his jersey, the team that pays him, the college he came from, and the job he does on the field.
- 4
- COWBOYS
- MISSISSIPPI STATE
- QUARTERBACK
_____ GUARD(purple)
None of these is finished on its own. The same word completes all four, and it shows up on a basketball court, on a football line, and in a dentist's chair.
- COMBO
- OFFENSIVE
- MOUTH
- NOSE
