Ok, so that stands for Shawn Adams Memorial Spirit of the Game Ultimate Tournament, and it was this past weekend in Chattanooga. It was an absolute blast! The weather was amazing on Saturday, with a light cool breeze all day. I played with my mixed team, Shotgun (Click Click BOOM!), and we did amazing.
On Saturday we started out our first game agains USN Brutal Grassburn, the highschool team from Nashville. We won 13-2, but very VERY sloppy on our part. I was just happy to finally beat them, since whatever team I have been on has lost to them the last three times I've played them. Next we played Axis, from Austin, TX. Apparently this team beat Show 'n Tail last year at Regionals, but again, a Shotgun victory of 13-2. We had a bye, and I went and watched my knoxville ladies. Our third game was against IP, from the lowland south, and it was our game of the day. We played well, but so did they. final score: us 13-them 10. Our final game was against Mike O., which had a ton of Nooga people on it, actually all Nooga people. We won 13-5, but we played down and were tired. A win's a win though.
Ray's mom cooked us dinner on Saturday night though, and it was amazing!!!!!!! She cooked for almost 30 people! After dinner Susie, Sam, Billy, Amy, Jennie (Rival girls) and I went to the party. We were the first one's there, but we dealt with it, and ended up starting the dance party. It was AMAZING. No alcohol involved on my part, just a good time and lots and lots of dancing. Dancing on speakers was definatly involved! I had far far too much fun!
On Sunday, Ray's mom cooked for us again for breakfast, and we almost were late for our first game. We played Sequence in Quarters, winning 15-5. Next we played Rival. Such a different game from Savannah, and we had to play harder than in Savannah. They abused the fact that we only had 5 healthy girls, playing us 4 women, three men every chance they got. I even got a D off of the first throw after the pull (good for me, but being the slowest person on our team, i should NEVER be the first one all the way down field after the pull!!!), and in the end we won 15-10.
Finals: Shotgun vs. JOTS. This is my personal game, the one I wanted all weekend. I wanted to prove that we were better, and that I am better. We went up 4-2, then they went up 5-4. We took half 9-6, and didn't look back. Final score was 17-11!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It felt so good to win this game, and I was SO fired up the whole time, running my ass off against Meredith, who was killing me, cheering for my team the whole time. It was AMAZING.
So Shotgun wins the mixed division. For most of us it was our first time winning a tournament. It felt amazing. It still feels amazing three days later. Sunday night, a couple of us stayed at Ray's again, and just hung out with each other. It was a good weekend, and a good warmup for Sectionals in ATL this weekend! Hopefully some pictures to follow soon!
