Joe and I, along with a group of guys assembeled from the Charleston-Huntington corridor, have been playing Ultimate Frisbee in Hurricane every week. The overall level of play is much higher than what we dealt with in Huntington and it has been pretty fun. Not only do most of these guys play better than the guys in Huntington but they are more committed to getting out and playing. In fact, a few weeks ago we played in the snow when it was 26F outside. Therefore, it came as no surprise to me when one of the guys, Mike, scheduled a mini-tournament for us in Morgantown, WV against WVU, Marshall, and maybe some schools for PA. Nor was I surprised that most of the guys were willing to head up there (where it is typically colder.)
The mini-tournament took place last Saturday but ended up being just a scrimmage between us and WVU as both Marshall and the PA teams back out (probably because it was only 29F and snowing). We played two games against the 'Eers. I had expected the matches to be really close but it turns out we had a better day and won both games 13-3 and 13-5. I think, without Nate, our games would have been much closer. However, I also think that once we start using actual offensive strategies, that we will be much better as an offensive team - our defense was pretty good.
I'm hoping we can get involved in a few more contests with other people, though, preferably, in better weather next time. If you live in the area (Cincinnati - Columbus - Pittsburgh) and would like to play then let us know - we may be willing to travel or host you here for some Ultimate fun.
