What a fast weekend!
After a late Saturday night out, I got up just in time to coach my Ultimate team at the Austin-Area High School Tournament. We'd been running league play, 2 games each Sunday for the past month, and I had turned my team of ex-scrubs into a well-oiled machine. Now was the real deal.
We started the day as second seed, and won our first game handily, 9-4. Unfortunately, because of an administrative mistake in seeding, we had to play the #1 seed a round early, and though we put up a hell of a fight, we lost 11-7. Winning that game would have made us clear favorites for the championship round, but we gave up two quick points in the beginning off of BS turnovers, and we weren't able to dig ourselves out of that hole.
Still, I was proud of my guys (and the one girl, Chloe, hah!). That second game was intense. I told the team afterward that it was the best game I'd seen all season, and "fuck what the score says." After that, we played a garbage team for the last game, but I told my players to just have fun with it, because playing the #1 seed so closely had drained all of their energy. All in all, not a bad day.
Go Crazy Apes!
