Last weekend we wrapped up the 2007 middle school ultimate season with a day long tournament. 5 schools, 6 teams…middle school ultimate is on it’s way up in Austin. We had a great team. 18 of the 19 kids made it out for the tournament. We played 2 pool play games, and one cross over game. We won all 3 pool games, one our quarter final game, and ended up playing Kealing in the semi-finals. We ended up loosing that game, but the story was the season….
With a mix of soccer boys, and a few other boys and girls that just wanted to give this great game a go we kicked off the season back in early March. Morgan was always the first to practice. Spencer joined the gang after the first week. We had a conflict with track but worked that out the best we could. We practiced twice a week and everyone got a chance to play and make a difference. You should see Fernando and Parker run, Owen find the seam, Nathan read the disc, Jeremy and Jordan handle, Spencer, Claire and Drew throw that forehand, Chi and Tat scramble for the D, and the others filling in to make the play right when we needed it. Ben made his way into the game as well and you know he’s got the spirit.
Missy tie-dyed the shirts, Spencer compiled the team CD, and everyone got a feel for the game. We can’t wait for next year!
