13-7 Blue V. Black

11-10 Red V. White

Shoutouts:

Red: Shoutout to Thomas, Paolo, Abhi, Lee, Josh, and especially Emily. We were savage the whole day (except when we were playing 5-1) and still managed to get a win vs white.

Blue: Gotta shoutout Heather for getting a run through D against black, helping us lock down the win. Also have to shoutout Quinn and Caroline for some great deep cuts giving us some scores. Donny also had a great save with a layout in the end zone for a score!

Black: Shoutout Cara, Kurt, Mal, Larry, Callahan. Playing at wildwood and then showing up the next day for league is no easy feat. We had some tough matchups out there and fatigue was certainly a big factor. I really appreciate everyone that was out there grinding, but especially those who were likely already running on fumes.

White: Shoutout everybody on White - our game against Black was a great team effort. All of our FMPs also did a great job being flexible with different defensive looks against Red and finding open space on offense. And shoutout to my co-captain Pat for throwing an immaculate hammer for a score.

Shoutouts:

Red: Shoutout to the whole red team.  We played not quite savage except for Amelia who was playing savage.  Jake finally let Cara see a backflip and also did a sea lion (?).  Neville scored and threw for scores on his birthday!

Blue: So so proud of our team for the W’s!! Everyone had such important plays these two games that it’s so hard to choose shoutouts.
Special shoutout to the amazing defenses from Anslem. He was in the sky every opportunity he had and got the Ds!
Shoutout to Ari for great cuts and continuations. Flowing through the stack and catching the disc everytime!
Shoutout to Heather for great movement that lead to a score!
And finally we have to shoutout Evan for getting a layout callahan, he took us to half!

Black: Shoutout to the entire team. We had 2 subs so everyone tried so hard to play smart. We were missing the majority of our regular handlers so we had to figure spacing and play styles that worked for our new formation. It was starting to work in game 2! Special shoutout to Larry and Mal for taking the reigns and talking strategy with the team. Thank you Kar for subbing for us.

White: Shoutout to Eleni for making a bunch of great deep cuts even though the rest of us kept underthrowing her. Nick had some solid handling and was patient with the disc. Josh Pribe had potentially the best dive I’ve ever seen in order for a throw to connect to Savannah in the end zone. Tanya skied two players on red and then marched the disc down the fields for a bookend score. Lots of heart from the short-staffed white team.

Shoutouts:

Red: Shoutout to Amelia for playing two entire games savage. Shoutout to Abhi for some great Ds and skies.

Blue: Shoutout to Michael for getting 4 scores against white with well timed cuts! Shoutout to Donny for snagging a catch for a score with defense all over him. Also Evan made his debut with some great handler movement and many d’s.

Black: Shoutout Kurt! Versatility is a great skill in ultimate and Kurt put that on display this week. He filled in to whatever role we asked, first cut, continue cut, set the stack, cover the opponent who doesn't stop running, etc. Kurt took on any task and did a great with each one. This was his most consistent week with the disc, that I can remember, and it really helped the team pull off our wins.

White: Shoutout to the whole team for playing hard with low numbers and injuries! Special shoutouts to Brian for making some killer deep cuts, and to Nick for being reliable in the handler space. Shout out to Kent for subbing this week for us. We really needed the help with our low numbers. Was great seeing him again! Also shout out to Walt and Eleni for taking feedback and immediately applying on the field for their defense against red. Their work helped us hold off our win! Shout out to the whole team for continuing to grind all evening, with tight D and clean O. We didn't give up no matter how tired we got. Thanks for accepting me as interim captain for the week! - Tanya (deputized captain for the day)

Shoutouts:

Red: Shoutout Ali this week, made a lot of good initiating cuts to get offense moving and had several Ds! Also shoutout Abhishek, really good handling this week with some dime throws and some clutch play to help us win both games on uni!

Blue: Shoutout Christine for going up for a d against Andrew and boxing him out. Scott also had perfectly timed cuts getting him an easy score.

Black: Shoutout Ben Bradley! He said he hasn’t played in two years but I'm not so sure I believe him based on how he looked out there. Had some goals and assists. Also Caleb. His throws were dialed in and he had several great hucks.

White: For White, Nuk put his body on the line to come oh-so-close to a score against Red. Walt was working hard on both making and defending in-cuts all night. And Brian came up with some great team cheers (even if the rest of us failed to follow his instructions once or twice).

Red: Shoutout the entire red team for game 1! We fought hard with only 8 players and took the win! Everyone was working hard on D and we had some really chilly O points that helped secure the victory. Definitely a team win! For game 2, shoutout Delaney for several good deep cuts that helped open the field and shoutout Abhi and Andrew for steady handles behind the disc. Lastly, Jake backflip counter for the season: 4

Blue: Shout outs: Anselm is always in a great mood. He does a great job at bringing up the spirit of the team! He had a great day with great handler movement and plenty of D’s. Heather also had a great run through D! If Chris was not getting a goal, she was open and unguardable. Tommie had a greatest attempt, if only someone was close by.

Black: Shoutout to Larry for helping out and keeping spirits high and giving great instruction and advice. James white for also stepping up big in the handler space and being able to work through a zone with great patience and give and goes. Shoutout to William it seems like he was literally almost open every point he had like half of our goals against White and our ladies Maya and Mallory for playing savage but still being able to keep up with play up and down the field 

White: Austin had multiple layouts on O and D (and may have sacrificed his shirt in the process!). Tanya scored on at least 3 deep cuts against Blue, and Sav caught a crazy cross-field that was blading away from her in the wind. Eleni did a great job finding open in cuts all night.

Shoutouts:

Blue-LETSGO BLUE TEAM!! We’re so happy with how we played and how we pushed with even lower numbers than before. The scores don’t matter, what’s important is that we never gave up! Everyone played amazingly through it all and captains are so proud!

We have a couple special shoutouts today! Sara did a great job with consistent resets and solid hands. Anselm had heads up defense and offense, catching throws that got lost in the wind.  Finally, Lynh had some very well timed cuts that bailed out the handlers!

Black- Shoutout Lawrence Wilson III! Making his long awaited return to tidewater ultimate! I'm pretty sure he just got in town and basically came straight to league. That’s dedication! Larry jumped right in and made an immediate impact. He provided our team some much needed stability and consistency around the disc.

Blue- Everyone did great today on taking in info and contributing to the team!

Special shout to Andy this week for stepping up and guiding the team with great input! He brought up points that were critical for the games and led on the field!
Another shoutout to Anslem for great movement in the handler space and connections!

Red- Red team vibes are up! Shoutout Ali and Delaney for well timed continuation cuts that helped keep our offense moving in flow. Also shoutout Lee for endless powerslide catches and some savvy throws to help us get the win in game 2! Lastly, I feel an obligation to shoutout Jake every time he does a backflip so we’re going to start a counter for the season. Jake backflip count: 3

White- Brian had one of the sickest layout grabs I’ve ever seen! Caroline on Blue also had a great catch for a score. Austin and Will were really active with in-cuts and in the handler space to keep the disc moving on offense.

Black- Shoutout James White! He's tall! But for real, he was a huge threat in the deep space but was also very patient and efficient with the disc. Shoutout Cara and Maya playing almost every point and playing great defense.

Blue- Shoutout Carter for joining our team and being such a strong player on the field! Amazing in the handler space and was very reliable! Shoutout to Andy as well for handling and amazing deep throws!

Shoutout to Caroline for her cuts! Most of her cuts were open and the throws were caught! Loved seeing her on the field with new matchups!

Overall shoutout to our Blue team! I’m so impressed and proud that we came back from that final game. Loved seeing the breaks back to back and everyone grinding it out till the end! Can't wait to keep playing with this team!

Red- Shane for playing well despite getting thrown into the deep end, Jake for the backflips after scores, and Josh for some great throws.

White- Corey Beeler was white’s most efficient player on both offense and defense. Consistently open in the handler space, and connected on several deep hucks for scores.

Black- Shout out Jake (JCP) for doing a little bit of everything and doing it all well. When we needed a handler, he was there. When we needed defense on the opponents fastest player, he was there. He was routinely making the right decisions on and off the disc and was a tremendous value to the team

Shoutouts

Blue- We had a few players that were exhausted from wildwood that still came out and played their heart out including Thomas and Quinn. Thomas got a big layout d. Allen and Caleb were moving freely as handlers, unable to be guarded. Will played poach d and saved us from getting scored on at least 2 times. Aaron though we were playing football, he laid out  and caught the disc like one for a score! Will had some nice hucks too. Pick up sub, Tallula, had some really good cuts and scores!

Red- Abby killed it again in the handler space and offered some great help defense in the deep space. Stephen and Caleb looked really in their throws and field visions as they helped to beat the zone. Everyone on red deserves a shoutout! Playing with low numbers and playing through a zone! Ended strong and kept fighting.


White- Despite being low on numbers, White showed resilience and played with heart. We held our own and pushed through fatigue, especially against Gold’s disciplined zone defense. Our handlers worked patiently to find openings, and the team stayed composed under pressure. It was a gritty performance that showed our growth, even if the scoreboard didn’t reflect it.Well played by both White and Green in a hard-fought match that went all the way to universe point. It was a true battle, with momentum shifting back and forth and neither team giving an inch.

Green- Awesome first game by Addy, some great cuts and Ds. Donny was a force all evening. So many Ds. Andy stepped up big time and killed it in the handler space even after wildwood. Had a few sick deep shots. Luke was making great decisions as a handler. Brian played some awesome D. Neville had an insane evening, he slotted in consistently wherever we needed him on O in the ho stack and had TWO deep cut scores!

Gold- Killer zone defense in the cup by JCP and Tallula in the game against white. Also amazing mid defense by Austin and deep defense by Carter. Sick grabs by Hayden and Sav on offense. Pat and Scott were amazing strategists.

Shoutouts

Blue- Mat played lockdown defense throughout, and did great as a lead cutter. Will was incredibly reliable in the handler space, including a dime huck to Mat. Delaney was a reliable safety valve.Shoutout to gold for a very fun game-special shoutout to Austin, who it felt like had 5 or 6 deep goals and multiple Ds!

Red- Stephen was on fire in the green game. Scored at least 4 points and had bookends. We’ve decided that when Ben has the disc, he is always looking for Gwen and she’s usually open! Great cuts. Our lucky charm, Caleb, was back this week. Solid movement on the field and kept the disc moving.


White- The entire team did great taking care of the disc, along with solid defense the first half of our game. Taylor as usual was a beast in the handler space throwing dimes! Tyler and Evan did well rotating into the handler space as needed. Will stayed consistent with his solid cuts. James being a reliable deep threat all game.

Green- shout out to the whole team for playing hard with really low numbers. Addy was constantly open. Andy was reliable as always in the handler space. Donny was working his tail off cutting. Tanya was playing through a foot injury and still killing it!

Gold- A lot of shoutouts this week. First, shoutout the whole team for really rallying for the win in the blue game after being down 7-2 at half. Everyone stepped up their defense which helped secure the win. For individual shoutouts, big shoutout to Hayden this week. Was a constant safety valve when the disc wasn’t moving well and was really good at moving in and out of the handler space. Wasn’t keeping stats but he had to have had the best passing percentage on gold across the two games. Second shoutout goes to Callahan, too many run through Ds to count and, as always, the most solid initiating cutter. Last shoutout goes to Austin, had the sickest layout grab for a score vs blue to clean up the trash after an errant huck by yours truly (Godwin). I still don’t know how he got to that disc. All around great play and a lot of smart poach Ds.
