Exciting Matchups this Weekend

Here are the exciting games to watch this weekend:

Bay Area Open Sectionals

Stanford v. Las Positas - I don't know anything about Las Positas except for their exceptional victories this season. They only played in two tournament (according to UPA's Score Reporter). They have beaten Central Florida, Brown, Oregon, Colorado, California, UNC Wilmington, and Arizona. They played very well at Stanford, breaking seed to play in the Champion's Bracket on Sunday. Can anyone comment on Las Positas? Their star players? Who to watch for? Do teams just not give them any respect until they're losing at half?

Stanford is another story. Stanford is athletic. To beat Stanford, you have to get in their face and be physical on defense. Look for their excellent cutters in speed demon Steve Scardato and Ben Keningsburg this weekend. Also, look for their star player, Mark Sherwood, who is simply one of the best in the nation right now. His speed, jumps, and shut-down defense is fun to watch. Stanford will have to fight hard for this victory.

My prediction: Las Positas over Stanford 15 - 12.


Big Sky Open Sectionals

They only have four teams! This is ridiculous. The teams from Utah and Montana have to drive ALL THE WAY to Idaho for a tournament to play three other teams. I hope all of them the best. Utah, BYU, Montana, and Montana State.

My prediction: Utah with the SWEEP!


Blue Ridge Open Sectionals

James Madison v. William & Mary
JMU, the fourth team in AC Regionals last year, returns a strong and tall team. I remember last year looking at their line and thinking, every person on that line is at least 6' tall. Look for their stud #87 Chris Barker to make long distance calls to people on the other side of the field via his flick.

Look for William & Mary's explosive players Alan Kolick and Arthur DeAnna. They can beat anybody with their sheer athleticism. I was skied by Arthur DeAnna, he helped me up after I fell down. It was nice of him. Will Spangler, their primary handler, has a couple of years of experience under his belt. I hope there are a lot of 50 -50 discs in this game to make it REALLY interesting.

My prediction: JMU over W&M 15 - 9


Carolina Open Sectionals

UNC v. NC State
This game will happen during the semifinals in this tournament. I love watching both of these teams play. I hope both of these teams don't wear black because that would be confusing for them. Sorry. UNC's defense is their biggest weapon. I wish I could watch this tournament, but I will have a friend at the tournament who is going to write about the different games he sees (He plays for Wake Forest).

NC State already has the advantage in this game, taking both of their previous matches easily with the scores 12 - 7 and 15 - 6. NC State has an arsenal of players which I know nothing about. We played them in Athens and ended up beating them, but I think some of their players went home. Anyway, this will be the match of the day across the nation.

My prediction: UNC over NC State 15 -13


GA/SC Sectionals

Georgia v. Georgia Tech
I don't want to talk about this game because I am way to biased. Georgia Tech is a worthy opponent and have great players in Will Moore and Russell Snow. Look for Will Moore's speed up the line and flick hucks to his tall receivers. On defense, just take notes on Russell Snow. If a receiver slows down, little Russell will fly past them and catch the disc in his mouth. He really is a fun player to watch. They had a great showing at Centex.

On Georgia, we have a lot of injuries. Look for Peter Dempsey and Ben Morrissee on defense. Both of these players are great in the air, love to crash the deep throws, and love to lay out. On offense, watch for Tom Morris and Louis Louis Gutschenritter as receivers. Matt Ashe will be our primary handler, who has plenty of experience. It really comes down to this - can Georgia remained focused throughout the entire weekend?

My prediction: Jojah over Tech 15 - 12


So Cal Sectionals

Claremont v. California - Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara had the twin towers last year. Claremont has upset a couple of teams this year. The only reason I am putting this game in this article is because of Santa Barbara's history in greatness and Claremont's win over UNC and Pittsburg. Claremont has already beaten Santa Barbara this year! Look for Santa Barabara's tall kid to destroy kid's this weekend.

My prediction: Claremont over Santa Barabara 15 - 8


Texas Sectionals

Texas v. North Texas
This is the only game worth mentioning here. I think Texas has a great opportunity to make a statement about their program with this game. If both of these teams win out, like they should, they will meet in the finals on Sunday. Look for Stephen Presely to take over this game.

My Prediction: Texas over North Texas 15 - 8


Good luck to all teams this weekend. A lot of seasons will be ended this weekend, which sucks, but use that as some motivation gosh dang it. If you want to post anything for this website, email me or comment with your email address.
