junior worlds thread...

we have a whole slew of things waiting for you in the coming few weeks, rundowns, previews, polls etc.

but for the time being in the high school ultimate world the biggest news are the tryouts for the junior national team which will participate in worlds, held this year in massachussettes

thus an open thread for your debate, discussion etc. who do you know who was accepted? who should have gotten the nod? etc

we are working on getting a complete list of those who got invitations to the tryouts, hopefully that will come within the next few days. but for now - conjecture!

From Hopkins:
Ben Feldman (senior - cutter - 5'10")
Justin Kaminsky (senior - handler/cutter/deep - 5'5")

conspicuously absent:
Yossi Kakou (senior - handler - 5'9")

i think it's odd as he's probably one of the top players in the midwest. maybe even moreso than the guys who made it to tryouts, in this coach's opinion. still, i'm proud of all my boys.
