Fall Brawl Recap

Day 1:
Pretty shitty day, in my opinion.
It wasn't too cold when we arrived, but underarmour was a necessity. We started off playing Pennsbury B, a team that had stole several of our discs at Born to Dive last season and persisted on saying a whole bunch of crap while we played. It was windy as hell, but that didn't seem to bother us too much. I did happen to throw a couple of floaty throws that resulted in a couple of turnovers. But, easily enough, Pennsbury B didn't bother us that much and I was able to sit out the most of the game, ending it 13-0.

The second game was against a team we had played recently. Westfield came out moving the disc pretty quickly with a lot of dishies, but just never connected the throws enough to score points. At one point, me and Steve Silva pushed their handlers to the back of their endzone, and although we never actually got the callahan, they ended up turning it over in the middle of their endzone, which we converted quickly for the point.

The third game was probably the toughest we had. Although it was easy pickings in the beginning, taking half at 7-3, we fell to our usual habit of getting lazy and cocky, and let them close up the point difference. I was suffering from leg cramps, so jumping and layouts were kind of out of the question, and at one point I got injured with a bloody lip. We worked it upfield finally to win the game 13-10.

Day 2
The only game we played today was Pennsbury A. Probably the best team in the East right now, they came down on us pretty hard the first half, taking it 7-1. I got D'ed a couple of times and the bad wind ended up taking some throws where they should not have been, and caused a couple of drops, for us and Pennsbury. During the second half, we came back with scores from Alan and Jay, and a fast break layout from Steve to me. Unfortunately, we weren't enough for Pennsbury, since they took the game 15-5, but we took solace in the fact that we had been the toughest game they had so far in the tournament.

KitKat on Saturday.
50 something degrees, windy.
