RecapWinter 2023Blooper Reels vs Boost It!

But the spirit of our crew did not break and a deep throw to our star offseason acquisition Alison put us on the board! The whispering of my opposing political factions within the team subsided for now and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Blooper Reels continued to play great throughout the first half, doggedly holding onto their early break despite only having 4 male matching players. Both teams were working well out of their horizontal stack offence.

Blooper Reels held their break all the way to 7-6 with very balanced play. Some hucks, some methodical movement and very very few bloopers. They seemed destined to take half. But our fortunes were about to change. A quick consultation with our team’s legal expert and resident shaman Katie, offered the frisbee gods a deal they couldn’t refuse. The small price of my first born offspring for their favor in this game. And just like that we secured two breaks in a row to take half.

In the huddle at half time I did what any embattled incumbent would do. I pandered. I explained that everyone’s play to this point had been perfect. Forces? No notes. Patience? Not for us. Clogging lanes? Not today. I had to hope that this positivity could help me hold onto power.

And with that we took to the second half. Blooper often ran 2 or 3 lady handlers to take advantage of their male matching height differences with Kyle and D-Con. They played very well but a few turnovers helped us extend our lead to 14-11.

The final play of the game and I swear this is true. What? You don’t believe me already? Fine, then I swear to you on my blue ribbon winning state fair fruit salad that this is true. Lisa, the savviest member of our team and not a hair’s width over 5’5” skied not only her defender but 6’12” D-Con as well to score the game winning goal.

We were very excited to get our first win of the season and if I am to remain captain hopefully not our last. Shouts out to our opponents Blooper Reels they were a blast to play against and we hope to face them again in the tournament.
