Highlights
Black- Nuk and Larry for stepping up and helping me with strategy in the absence of Jared! Both Nuk and Larry were constant forces on our team, with Nuk always being a reliable and consistent handler and Larry always finding power positions and keeping momentum flowing. Larry also had so many layout grabs that I lost count. Shoutout to Paolo for laying out for my throws. Shoutout to Dan B for being so kind to me even though I called him Dan S over and over again. Dan always plays tight defense and is always open. Shoutout to Nick Dehoust for his athleticism - always running down the disc on both O and D. Shoutout to all of Black team for being such a cohesive unit. We were able to introduce zone D this week and be successful at it!! That’s literally a dream come true for a league captain!
Silver- Carter was on fire today, with several dime hucks. Katie had a lot of deep scores, and Riley was making great cuts all across the field. Fiko had too many layout grabs to count.
Green - Jackson dehoust was super reliable as both a cutter and handler. Heather had great continuation cut timing and around throws. Nic Spangler had a nasty sky for a score, and was grinding hard throughout. Izzy was a super reliable handle for green and I don’t think she had a single turnover against silver.
Blue- Jackson Reed had some great smallball movement and Peggy was a killer deep threat throughout. Surprise, surprise, blue teams ladies were once again out there killing it. Always open and always making good decisions with the disc. Jonathan Estes also provided some really timely break cuts and throws. At one point Spencer scored and someone on Orange, said "they threw it to the guy who was open all point" which was just a great example of how well he consistently found the open space and blue successfully worked it through him.
White - The Taylor to Caleb connection was near impossible to stop. Caleb dominated the skies while Taylor was on fire with deep throws and clean play. It felt like JCP was permanently open and Mae seemed to be a key cog in their handler movement. Huge thanks to Taylor for taking up captaining while I was off doing commissioner stuff and for have super solid throws. The entire white team was really low on numbers but we did so good! Very proud of the way we came together against zone during the black game and figuring out how to improve collectively with no finger pointing or chippy-ness. We kept it fun and strategic. Way to grind in that Orange game when we had 2 subs.
Orange - Matt T really provided a spark coming back this week, both in terms of energy and throwing dime hicks and stellar defense in the deep space. Kurt and Stephen Kimmel were grinding the unders and helped a ton with cutter flow. Chris T, really started coming into his own showing a new confidence and it earned him several scores. Also pick-up of Maggie was a huge help, she was incredible for the handler space.
