Ultimate Suspects Survive Scare
Things were
heating up in week 7 Sarnia Ultimate Frisbee league
action as the winless Megalomaniacs played their game of
the season against the Ultimate Suspects. With the
recently returned “Italian Stallion” Brian Scott making
unbelievable catches from down field, the Megalos found
themselves with a surprising 8-5 halftime lead. They
continued to lead the game all the way to a 13-11 score,
but it was then that the Suspects found another gear.
After trailing almost the entire match, the Suspects
used quick precise offensive plays to pull out the 16-14
victory, and move to 5-1 on the season. The
heartbreaker loss moves the Megalos to 0-7 on the
season, and will look to crack the goose egg next week
against Hungate’s Mom.
At the
Lansdowne fields, it was the Short Bus making an upset
attempt of their own. Playing a strong defensive zone
in the first half, Short Bus held the lead going into
the half time break 8-7. The shell-shocked Cookie
Monsters threw a zone back at Short Bus in the second
half, the tactic paid off as they cruised to the 15-9
triumph.
League
leading and undefeated “Huck my Disc” were facing a
tough challenge this week versus the 5-1 Huckstables.
Both Adam Shae and Vanessa Gillis had strong defensive
efforts for the Huckstables. However in the end, it
was Kristy Russell coming out of nowhere with a huge
vertical jump to catch the winning point. Astonished
opponent Vanessa Gillis commented “She was like Michael
Jordan, it was insane, she must have pumped up her shoes
before the game”.
In a
momentum shifting game, the Red Army came out to a
strong start against Hungate’s Mom on the efforts of
Jeff Rathburn’s end zone cuts. Hungate’s Mom were able
to string a few points together through the middle of
the game, however it was Tiffany “Hot Cakes” Clarke who
gave the final blow as her Red Army team won the contest
15-11.
At Canatara,
H2O dropped their third straight match
against the Dumpsters 15-10. The Dumpsters have now won
3 of their last 4 games, and are starting to prove
themselves as contenders this year.
Note: The
July 10th postponed match between Red Army
and Ultimate Suspects has been counted as a forfeit
against Red Army. |
