Ultimate v. Four Rivers

On a cold and windy day in early April the Ultimate team rode to Greenfield to take on the Four Rivers Charter School in our first game. We found out that we have work to do, but there were many bright spots to this afternoon’s excursion. The defensive performances by Carrick Zhu, Sean Wong, and Alex Leong were strong. Alex and Carrick were especially good at marking the opposition’s handlers. Sean was adept at putting himself in position to intercept their passes. Phineas Walsh, Preston Dotson, Tom Dillon, Matthew Zhou, and Shane McCarthy passed the disc intelligently for much of the game. In the mid position, Jeffrey Lim, Jason Pan, and Andrew Wu contributed both offensively and defensively. The most impressive portion of today’s game for me though was the fact that it did not matter what the score was. Our whole team continued to make plays for every disc, continued to run to open space, and they continued to compete until the game was literally over. I am looking forward to tomorrow’s practice when we can get back to learning to play the game so that in the near future we will be a team that other’s find challenging to play.
