Atlanta trip a success
This past weekend, our Ultimate Frisbee team traveled to Atlanta to compete in the
Atlanta Flying Disc Club’s Round Robin tournament on Sunday, April 16 th . The girls’
team, bolstered by a national ranking (#19), were fired up for this competition.
That day, we participated in a clinic run by the Atlanta Ultimate mens’ teams and
watched the men participate in a professional league game.
On Saturday, we also competed against Paideia Girls’ nationally ranked (#5)
Ultimate Team. There, we played our strongest game against Paideia in recent
history. We played point to point, keeping it close throughout the first half. The
second half was a different story, with Paideia making a strong run to give them the
win. The result was a 4-9 loss. Regardless of this loss, we are proud of our showing
and our confidence was bolstered by our solid effort and attitude.
On Sunday, we participated in the AFDC (Atlanta Flying Disc Club) Round Robin
tournament held at the Atlanta Polo Club. Following our strong performance
Saturday, our first game played was against Grayson HS. We had a quick start,
stayed calm and confident and came out with a 9-3 win.
Our second game was against a strong Decatur team. We started strong maintaining
a 2 or 3 point lead throughout the game. However, Decatur had a big push in the
second half, keeping the game close and tying it at the end of regulation. We then
played universe point for the win. Each team had attempts to score but strong
defenses held. Working hard, our Brutal Grassburn girls won by a great catch in the
endzone!
Our third game was against Woodard HS. Although we put it all on the line in the
Decatur game, we were resilient and positive. Another strong showing that also
allowed our new players positive playing time, resulted in an 8-0 win.
Coming out of our last out-of-state tournament for the year was exhilarating and
such a positive end to this part of our season. Our next tournament is the State
Tournament on the weekend of May 6 th .
We want to recognize the talent and efforts of our veteran seniors: Ivy Cochran,
Jaimie List, Leala Nakagawa, Sara Shafik, Stella Shan and Els Shepard. It has been so
rewarding and such a positive experience to work with you all over the years.
Not to be forgotten are the senior parents who have fed, supported and just “been
there” throughout: Amy Shepard, Eden Cochran and Xiaru (Rebecca) Shan. Thank
you so much!
