Weekend

Hip Hop on Pop?

We're playing two easy teams in the beginning, and then I predict we play either Wissahickon or Beacon, which will be a pretty intense game. Taken we win that game, I predict we'll be meeting YHB in the finals, which is why we've been working a lot on straight up defense this week to contradict their horizontal stack.

Sectionals?

My predictions for Sectionals doesn't mean anything but I predict the following:

Princeton
Rutgers
NYU
Etc.

Damn, this section needs to get better.

Now, moving away from my constant bashing of Rutgers and the Metro East, I'm sensing a lot of straight up defense at this weekend's tournament. The weather is going to be complete crap, from what I've heard. Pretty warm, but possible showers and thunder. So once again, I'm thinking about working on our straight up defense, and also possibly playing some zone.

Although its been a slow process, our team is adjusting pretty well to playing offense under a straight up mark. Maybe it might be because Watchung has weak straight up D, or weak defense in general, but so far we've been moving the disc around pretty effectively, and then looking for a good huck. But again, today there wasn't much wind, perhaps it'll be a little harder to break the mark going up wind.

Newfound injuries. It turns out my pulled quad hasn't fully healed from YCC yet, and sprinting my fastest causes it to hurt. Also, my hamstring is having a hard time dealing with the pressure that I put on it, and is also hard to stretch.

Should fix these things.
