GA/SC Sectional

Moving on from GA/SC Sectionals are Georgia, Georgia Tech, Clemson, and Emory. The only upset this weekend was South Carolina beating Clemson. Here are some notable things from this weekend:

1. The fields at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, GA are NIIICE. The university added some more fields to their intramural complex. Although they were not as plush as the field on Centex, I still enjoyed laying out on them. It poured for a solid 45 minutes and the fields drained perfectly in a matter of minutes. Whoever made it to the Atlantic Coast Regionals tournament is in for a treat.

2. Georgia Tech is a competitor. Today, we beat Georgia Tech 14 to 13 on double game point. Defense was the story of the game for both teams. Both teams got at least 5 breaks on the other team's offense. Georgia Tech's Will Moore took over the game for Georgia Tech, eluding the people guarding him by going upline, throwing huge break throws, and getting in the head of Georgia's defense. However, Georgia's defensive victory proves that this team has a lot of character.

3. Georgia needs to get healthy. Georgia's offense had 5 out of their 7 starters either injured or sick: Greg Swanson (shoulder), Amble Johnson (leg?), Charlie Herrig (Hamstring), Louis Gutchenritter (sick), and Matt Ashe (sick). With so many veterans hurt this year, our rookies have stepped up, especially on offense with Grant Fiddyment and Matt Bailey. Will McDonough, Match Diesel favorite Georgia player, could not attend this weekend's tournament.

4. All finals should have observers, even Sectional finals. There were some calls that both teams thought should go their way, so we ended up having to re-do the plays. I am sure there will be observers for the AC Regionals tournament.

Congratulations to all the teams that made it to the Regionals tournament. Also, I didn't feel like it was necessary to write about any specific games in our Sectionals because it was not very exciting. If you feel inclined to write something, leave it as a comment and I'll post it. I am excited about participating in the best Regionals tournament in the country.

Note: the Poll for who will advance to AC Regionals showed Georgia, Georgia Tech, Clemson, and KSU advancing. Emory, way to prove the voters wrong.
