Just in from Rutland... the Compass School tops Saint Johnsbury in the finals of the Vermont State Championships. Wheaton Squire from the Rutland club throws a greatest in the 3/4 game to make all the ladies swoon.

Grass Valley's Grass Burn was very laid back (as usual), but there was some good play.
Vacaville swept their pool with only 6 players, Alameda did it with 7. The two teams met in the semifinals (with Vacaville's roster bolstered) and at 6-6 one of Alameda's girls broke her collarbone on a layout bid in the endzone.
Alameda was left with 5 players (one went with the girl to the hospital), so they tied with Vacaville and went on to play in the Finals as a combined squad.
They dominated in the Finals against a GV pickup team only to find that they forfieted unknowingly (by combining teams). It was pretty unhappy, but everytihng worked out alright and it was a fun weekend of Ultimate.
I'm curious to hear about the Maine Championships - I had no idea there were so many teams up there. And since I work in college admissions, I'm excited to see many of our feeder schools were participating.
Whats up in the Vacation State anyone?
PHUEL championships --
Pennsbury Peyote > CB East 13-9 in the finals.
Wissahickon > LM 13-11 in the 3rd place game.
St. Joe's takes 5th, I believe.
Abington HS wins Division II.
BC Tech and DVFS win the spirit awards for Div I and II respectively.
Eddie Peters from CB East walks home with a SOTG award, Noah Saul from Pennsbury nets himself Rosser's "Breed Ultimate" award.
Hooray Philly.
