St Johnsbury

Open and Girl's Division both got 2nd place, and last place in Spirit scores

Open: 3
Girls: 2.86

I take full blame for our low spirit score, but I regret nothing HAHAHA

Notes from this tourney:
Chaos Ultimate is the coolest team ever
The WH '09 line looks mad beastly
Madison should stop hucking and start playing some real ultimate

NJHSU

Watchung Hills - After losing a pretty good line from last year, we've gone down a bit in individual skill and also teamwork. Still, individually, we're stronger than most of the teams in New Jersey, but our flow and offense is pretty slow. When I mean individual skill, I mean we'll probably break/sky/layout D you, but our offense is a little stand still.

West Windsor North - A team with somewhat athletic guys. Their throws aren't too great but they know what they're doing. Run a typical stack and offense, but from our game with them in the Fall, their dump cuts are the thing that you can easily capitalize on and shut down.

Westfield - Improved a lot since last year when we beat them 13-2. They've developed a good system of handler motion with lots of dishies and upline cuts, but they still lack receivers and good handlers. Their offense mostly depends on lucky hucks across the field. Put on a strong straight-up defense.

Tenafly - a team that's pretty athletic and isn't bad for a group that's learned offense, defense and throws in a couple of weeks.

Ridgewood - Will update on this later. We played them last year and took them out 13-1. I don't sense much threat.

Kittatiny - Has anyone ever even heard of these guys?

Princeton - A huge drop in level from last year. Our JV took them to universal point, so that's saying something. But I'm impressed that they've still managed to keep a team together. After graduating Kinsey and D-backs, they need to raise up some handlers and receivers.

CHS - No need to talk about these guys. Another win at States again, I predict.

Home Tournament

Tournament at school today!

Beat Tenafly, a team that I really enjoyed playing because they're pretty cool, and I know someone on their team. We played pretty lazy for the first half, exchanging three or four points with them, but then pretty much shut them out the second half. Last point, they ISO'd me and I started an in-cut but surprised to see that the huck had gone off. I sprinted to the endzone and got a really lucky layout (caught it with two fingers, miracle that I didn't drop it when I hit the ground) for the win. Then played West Windsor South who was really tired from playing our JV (who lost 6-8) so we went on an easy 11-2 win.

For the rest of the game I spent the time hanging out with the team and some guys from Tenafly and heckling the Westfield vs JV game. I know it may have made me seem like a jerk, but I really don't like Westfield. They probably know my jersey number now and will probably tackle/foul me at states like last year, but I'd just like to let you guys know that you're pretty obnoxious.
Side note: There's something called disc space, respect it.

Enjoyed heckling on the sidelines with a double chocolate frappachino.

This tournament pretty much made my day
