Georgia Jojahs Place Second at D-I Southeast Regionals

There was a seriousness Sunday at regionals. Jojah was backed up against the wall and needed to win all their games to keep the season alive.

Wide open lines were called throughout the first three games and the culmination of months of hard work ran roughshod over feisty LSU, Alabama, and Tennessee squads.

The finals against Florida is a game that no member of this years team will ever forget.

Thanks to all of our fans and supporters for a great season.

Georgia loses four members of their team to graduation this year:

Michael Slade (5 year player)

Josh "Birdo" Lowell (5 year player)

Matthew Bailey (4 year player)

Michael Young (rookie)

Jojah works hard together so that they can play hard for each other. Our graduates will be missed.

Note: This post will be expanded tomorrow after a certain blogger gets done with a final he hasn't started studying for.

Saturday of Regionals

Today:

Georgia beat Georgia State, Florida-B, and UCF in up and down streaky Jojah fashion.

Georgia drops a close game to Tech.

It was hot outside today.

Tomorrow Georgia finishes pool play against Alabama and LSU to see if they can qualify for bracket play.

If you ain't first, you're last.

Georgia travels to sunny Tallahassee for the Southeast regional tournament. In addition to the change in region, there also is one more variable unfamiliar to the team. There is only one bid to Nationals coming out of the region, so the team only has one option to continue on this season.. win.

Because all tournament formats handed down by the USAU have to be interesting, the fourteen team field will be split into two pools where the top two teams from each pool advance to the semifinals.

Georgia's (updated) schedule:

Saturday

9:00 Georgia State

10:30 Florida-B

12:00 University of Central Florida

3:00 Georgia Tech

Sunday

10:30 Louisiana State University

12:00 Alabama

and then Semifinals/Finals if the team qualifies.
