SATURDAY
Oregon Ego (Score Reporter) - I cannot remember the last time Georgia beat Oregon. This game was observed with some "experimental rules." How many times do you have to experiment the rules before they become accepted? The biggest change was that observers stalled.
We traded with Oregon for the first couple of points or so. Ego broke us first. Then, Peter Dempsey came up with a quick, layout D to spark the defensive run that took Jojah to half. There were a lot of big layouts and physical play from both sides. Both my memory and the recorded stats we have from the game seem inaccurate; therefore, I am going to conclude by giving the results : 13-11, Georgia over Oregon.
Stanford Bloodthirsty (Score Reporter) - The last time we beat Stanford was 3 years ago. Most recently, Stanford beat us at last year's Stanford Invite.
This game was a battle for Georgia to stop Stanford from throwing their flick hucks. Unfortunately, it took the entire game for Georgia to start converting its breaks. On game point for Jojah, both Taylor Nilan and Peter Dempsey came up with huge stops to keep Jojah in the game. In the end, Jojah came up with some crucial breaks to take the game 15-13.
Charlie Herrig hurt his elbow in this game while landing in an odd manner. He wasn't able to play the rest of the tournament. That wasn't cool.
Brownian Motion (Score Reporter) - After going 2-0 against some teams we haven't beat in a while, the entire Jojah team felt elated. Brown came into this game and punched us right in the mouth. Brown had a couple of speedy receivers that burned the Jojah D deep several times. Jojah was caught looking to our next game with Florida and were excited about going 2-0. Brown beats Jojah 13-11.
Florida Ultimate - Up to this point in the season, Florida had not lost a game. We were excited to play them, especially since they had been rolling everybody they played in usual Florida fashion. The game was similar to last year's game at Florida Warm Up because it started so late. By the last couple of points, both teams had trouble seeing the disc, as the sun had almost set.
The first half was exciting, as Georgia was able to come up with a couple of key breaks. Peter Dempsey was everywhere. We took half 7-4 against them after Peter Dempsey layed out for a Brian Walter backhand (which is rare, but beautiful). In the second half, Caleb Edwards tried his hardest to get Florida back into the game, getting hand blocked and throwing away a disc in two straight points which led to Florida breaks. Jojah eventually won this game 13-9.
SUNDAY
Colorado Mamabird (Score Reporter) - We needed to win this game in order to make it to the A-bracket semifinals rather than the B-bracket semifinals.
Looking at the stats from this game, Georgia only had 1 break in this game. We had a lot of opportunities to convert breaks, but we weren't able to complete our great amount of deep hucks. Colorado's consistent offense was too much for Jojah's defense. Colorado takes this game 13-9.
Wisconsin Hodags (Score Reporter) - Wisconsin beat us 13-11. Classic Wisconsin v. Georgia game. A lot of calls, a lot of yelling, and hard defense. Dave Benkeser came up huge with a couple of key defensive plays; unfortunately, Jojah waited too long to stage a come back. Wisconsin wins this game 13-11.
Florida Ultimate - After the first couple of points, Jojah started putting in the reserves after Florida's reserved broke the starting offense 2 straight times. The highlights from this game were Matthew Pimenta's defense and Justin Desandre's cutting and throwing. The game became especially entertaining when Florida turned the game into 500. Florida won both 500 and the game 11-6.
