Friday, July 9, 2004 By Doug Wasko Ultimate Frisbee took place again yesterday with a record number of people participating in this week's competition. Here's what happened. The team jumping out to an early lead, then losing it, along with a strong wind factor in goal scoring were predominant themes in each of the last 2 weeks of play. This week saw Dark take an early 3-0 lead, only to watch White come back, tie it at 4 and promptly take the lead at 5-4. That's where the wind started to factor into play as 7 straight goals would be scored with the wind at the players' backs. The plays leading to and immediately after halftime looked to be key plays of the game, and possibly back breakers for the Dark squad. |

Thursday, July 8, 2004 By Gregory "Graig" White Let there be no misunderstanding, I am a control freak. Ask any of my athletes or any of the coaches I have worked with, they will tell you the same thing. As you read this you may ask, “Graig isn’t that a bad thing”? My answer to that is, not in my world, or the worlds of people who truly understand the concept of control as it pertains to competition. |
