Bitterness to end a decent weekend

So, this past weekend was East Coast sectionals at the Polo fields in ATL. Super fun, kinda. So friday, taylor and meredith rode down with me, and we stayed at Scotts. We get up early to drive to the fields, get there, and start playing, but not before McCargo calls me a traitor for allowing JOTS girls to ride with me. My response? "Riding by myself to EVERYTHING sucks!!!" So, we play Sequence, beat them (I have no idea what the score is), then Emory coed, beat them 15-1, and then Rival, whom we beat, 14-9. Not a shabby day. Winning our pool puts Shotgun in the semi's on Sunday automatically playing for the 1 seed to regionals. Get to the fields on Sunday morning, and have to play IP, who we beat at Shawn Adams last weekend. Things aren't going the same though, especially since we are down 8-3 at half. We finally get our shit together, and make a 12-3 run, winning the game 15-11. Then we have to play JOTS in the finals for the 1 seed. Well, again unlike last weekend, we come out SLOW. Down 8-3 at half again, but we get it together at tie the game up at 13, game to 14. Unfortunatly, we pull, run down to play defense, and Denmark throws to Folks for the score. That's it: not hard fought battle in the last point. A flick to Folks in the endzone and it's over. So, we lose the 1 seed by a point. So we should get the 2 seed right? WRONG! We have to play IP again for the SECOND time that day in a backdoor game. And after coming back twice, and then losing the 1 seed on Universe point, we just had nothing left. IP wins 15-5. IT SUCKED! I've personally decied that backdoor games are stupid and pointless, and that we should automatically get the 2 seed, because we lost the 1 seed game. But ya know, that's just me.

On the bright side, we did get to hang out at McCargo's on Saturday night. We swam, watched ALOT of football (mostly the Bama game), and ate lots of food. That was fun. So, we are headed to Orlando on October 1-2 for regionals, where hopefully we will do well. Practice in Birmingham in two weeks, so get to see everyone then! Other than that, not much going on in my life, nor will there be anytime soon. Ultimate is my life, and it's not letting go in the near future!
