Black took a 9-7 halftime lead but the score was close throughout. In the end though, Black's defense was a little bit stronger than Grey's and they were able to shut down successfully the hucks Grey uses so effectively. Captain Mad Dussault was all over the field laying out both offensively and defensively making big plays, Tim McBride was catching long hucks, Ian Fischer and played another solid game, Seth Weiberg is the quickest player in the league perhaps, and Megan and Valerie were always getting open when needed. For Black, Captain Safdork the Clown Senior made a couple of huge D's late in the game, Fuyuki was open pretty much all game on offense, Johnny Luv, Evan, Brian, and Vette all played solid, and the rest of the crew pitched in to win a hard-fought but very spirited game. Good job both teams!!! Navy (#5) v. Green (#6) - I only watched a little bit of this game but, like the other game last night, the score was close throughout. Navy was shorthanded but played well. Green had a bitt too much and won 17-15. In Monday's games: Key Lime 17 White 14 Purple 17 Green 11 Black 15 Navy 13 Grey 17 Royal 14 If any scores are wrong, the captain should let me know and Loring (lsh@cs.brown.edu) know please. RECKLESS PLAY: For the majority of the league, I can safely say that playing summer league is 1 of the highlights of the week and most of us are competitive and want to win. That's all fine and dandy but please be aware that when you are making a bid on a disc defensively, you cannot be completely oblivious to the harm you might cause to another player, especially in the case of a man trying to make a D on a throw to a woman. The UPA rules specifically state that "Dangerous, aggressive behaviour or reckless disregard for the safety of fellow players is always a foul." When you suspect that the play will be a close one and that your positioning might cause injury, don't make the play. It's simply not worth getting yourself or somebody else hurt, no matter how competitive you are. By the same token, there is also a responsibility on the thrower not to make a throw that might endanger their teammate in making the play. Bottom line is be careful out there and show some responsibility for your actions, because everything you do invariably has consequences both good and bad. Getting the D is great, but not at the expense of hurting somebody else. It is, after all, just summer league where having a beer after the game with your opponent is just as enjoyable, perhaps more so, as making a D against him/her on the field.
