Queen City Tune Up: Saturday Recap

Jojah played three games today per some sort of cross over pool play.

Semi-regular tweets tell the point by point story of the day, but in summary the Georgia men had a difficult time playing with intensity until they found themselves in early deficits against both North Carolina State and Clemson. Georgia pulled out both games by breaking their way to half and playing solid second halves to the win (15-10 against NCST, 12-11 over Clemson). Georgia vs. Notre Dame was a different style game. UGA breaks three times to start the game, and despite a Notre Dame two break run to tie the game at 5's Jojah rolls to a 14-8 victory.

Neat things that happened today:
  • Mike Young had crazy flying blocks on defense and great possession saving catches on offense.
  • Mike Peters didn't get any shorter, made some clutch deep plays on both sides of the disc.
  • Matt Bailey played solid ultimate, rookies tried to kill him with terrible throws.
  • The rookies found a way to persevere on an extreme marathon point with Notre Dame.
  • Charlie Herrig made the play of the day. On universe point against Clemson Charlie goes upline for a back hand, makes an athletic catch and ends up getting wrecked by a Clemson player trying to poach the block. Charlie completes the catch/mini-concussion, and throws the game winning assist to Brian Walter.
  • Jojah ran the longest cool down lap ever today. Seriously, like a kilometer.
Jojah plays Sunday morning in the pre-quarters at 9:00 against a currently unknown opponent.
