Churchill HS (Eugene, OR) in Review...

I have been working around the clock on the new chsultimate.com website that hosts the Churchill High School Ultimate Team from sunny Eugene, Oregon. If you don't know who we are, you should. We were the MIXED team that took the Oregon State Tournament (OHSUC) last spring and our OPEN team took second place at Westerns. Our team this year was supposed to be in a complete rebuidling stage, but our leading players have proven they are far more ready than anyone expected.

Last time I wrote here I was letting you all know about the Sundodger tournament in Burlington, WA. The Sundodger tournmanet was way back in November, but the action there was some of the last Juniors ultimate in the Northwest and proved to be some of the best MIXED action I've seen. In fact, following the tournament, Churchill HS gained the number one position on both the MIXED and OPEN youth divisions on the UPA RRI website. They currently are holding the top spot with an RRI of 3049, just slightly ahead of the Pennsbury OPEN team at 3041.

I promised a write-up the weekend following the tournament, but never quite got it done. The write-up is done and can be viewed here along with the other tournaments CHS attended this fall. If you would rather see the action, I just finished the Sundodger Highlight Reel and will be completing the full Tournament DVD soon. You can see the video here:

For some sweet Middle School action (as some have commented already on), you can see the Highlight Reel from our TurkeyBowl2 tournament held the weekend after on Nov 19:
