Classic City Classic LIII Bids Due

CCC bids were due yesterday October 30, 2009. We are still accepting bids from Women's College Teams up to the point where we announce the Accepted Teams. The tournament entry fee will be $300.

The next thing you will hear about CCC is the Accepted Teams list on November 6, 2009. We will be posting these on RSD, on this website, and on the Official Tournament Website.

In other news, Chain beat Jam to move to Semis. They are playing Boston's Ironside, a team they lost to a year ago in Semis. That should be a fun game to watch.

Chain beat Johnny Bravo this morning. The game was close at half, but Chain had another strong second half. Chain then played Seattle Sockeye. They beat them 15-9 and ended the game on defense.

Tomorrow, they have a rematch with San Francisco area's Jam. Jam are the reigning champions of the club tournament. Hopefully, Atlanta's Chain Lightning can hit the ground running tomorrow, as it seems they haven't played well in the first game of each of the days.

Good luck ATL.

Southerns Classic Recap

This weekend, we had 11 tryouts come down with some of the veterans to play in Statesboro, GA at the Southerns Classic. This tournament gave us a chance to see how these rookies play in game situations, and it showed our veterans things they need to work on.

On Saturday, we beat FSU-B, Ga Tech B, South Florida, and Texas A&M. The most entertaining game of Saturday happened against Texas A&M, as a gentle rain fell over the IM fields, providing "layout weather." It was a sloppy game (a lot of drops), but the defensive intensity was above average.

On Sunday, we beat Auburn and then lost a close one to South Carolina. The South Carolina game saw us go down 0-3 and at one point 11-6 before bringing it to 14-12. The first half looked abysmal as our offensive team got broken and our defense didn't want to put in the effort. The second half was another story, as we got back in the game and made it close, especially when South Carolina only had one more goal to score. We made defensive adjustments, we picked up our intensity on the field and sidelines, and we started generating breaks. In the end, South Carolina over Georgia 15-12.

Overall, we learned a lot about what we need to work on as a team. Thank you pre-rooks for making the trip. There will be an update soon on the last day of Tryouts.
