With A Little Help From Some Friends, Spider Silk takes the Silver at Sunshine State Games

This past weekend was Florida's 30th year for the Sunshine State Games, and it's 4th year including the sport of Ultimate. Spider Silk has been in the Games for two years now, usually being made up of a Orlando, FTS, and a couple UF girls. The past three years, however, have been dominated by the Jacksonville bred Jukebox Hero. Although Spider Silk didn't beat them in the finals, Spider Silk won the hearts of all the spectators (probably not Sweet Chili).

First and foremost I would like to thank FTS' own Brandon Geick for putting together a hosh-posh of talent. A big deal of thanks is also in order to all the girls and guys who made it out there, we might not have had the best players (debatable), but we did have the best chemistry and the best cheers (not debatable).

FTS: Southerns

FTS' Southerns is one for the history books for two reasons: 1. Robert Bobango has never been so drunk for such an extended period of time (around 36 hours) and the night is still young! 2. FTS has never witnessed chemistry of this magnitude so early on...

The weekend started with a simple misunderstanding of who was gonna sleep in Surmin's magical trailer, which led to Brandon Geick being naked for 30 mins running around the campsite, Beilan dumping bags of clothes around the campsite, and Roca falling asleep in Quint's car. So far so good..

Come Saturday morning FTS faced off against Chain's potential recruits, and we saw a familiar face on the team... Cameron Amey (ex-Dog/Story). Chemistry started here for FTS as we saw the worst of it. Mis-communication, bad decisions, and frustration... sounds like a beginning to a team put together no more than a week before. FTS took the beating, but pulled the lesson out of the game... welcome to club, welcome to competition. Chain-X? takes FTS 13-3.

With the worst behind them, FTS starts fresh after a win! oh, I mean a bye... SAME THING! FTS moves to a new field where we just watched Overthrow, who beat FTS last year at the beginning of Regionals, beat Vicious Cycle in a hard fought game. The game starts off with hard D by FTS as Matt Robinson and Bill Igar leading the D's offensive charge. After trading turnovers, FTS gets the disc half-field after a timeout. Bill to Matt, Quint Wharton takes the under and throws an upline pass for a score to Roca. FTS up 1-0. Sick D and layouts like FTS has never seen before lead to two more breaks. While D was playing hard, O was playing consistent. Joe Segal and Brandon Geick were given the green light and all hucks were a go. Surprisingly, Michael Hickson (UCF-AC FOTY)was making throws as if he was a handler. While the FTS vets were the bricks, the recruits and rookies were the mortar. All the rooks and recruits handled the change from college to club almost seamlessly; adapting to the FTS way in no time. UCF takes Overthrow 13-8?.

Next up, Vicious Cycle. I really don't have much to say about this game, but from what I remember, this was a great offensive game. With all FTS players taking their turn on O and doing work. FTS takes Vicious 12-9?. (UPA doesn't update the tournament and I don't really remember the scores)

With one day down, FTS hits the campsite and Edward Forty-Hands is a go. Roca gets Icehouse (unaware of the consequences) and with a little help from his friends, Roca almost finishes both. With one sip left, he blasts 8.5 full blown projectile vomit on the campgrounds (a new FTS and World Record). Chumbawumba---> keeps on drinking and tabletops (park bench) around 9 people... Mostly UF and USF guys... notables: Alton Gaines, TJ McCourt, Bobby (USF), and Robert Bobango.

HERE COMES SUNDAY. First game of the day is against Mississippi. Fairly unknown, but FTS doesn't care and starts the game with a break. Matt Robinson throws down more and more D-Generation X crotch insults and the fire builds within FTS. FTS plays a hard first half, but lacks a little in the second half. The cap is on, FTS takes the game, but they need a lot more than that to take on Florida (mostly made up of Florid's college team).

Florida starts the game with three breaks and takes half 8-3. FTS SEEMS content with the horrible half, but immediately puts themselves back in the game with great D and solid O. Before they knew it, FTS was in a comeback showcase game with Chain and other teams watching a honorable comeback... 11-9 Florida. FTS just gets the break that can save them and in the middle of the point, hard cap goes on. The game is not tied, FTS will play out the point, but Florida will move on to the semis.

FTS played with a lot of heart and through thick and thin times. The only tournament where you can say, "God, FTS' sideline is fucking annoying." Way to pick eachother up FTS.

With two more tuesday practices and one sunday practice before final cuts, all we have to say is keep putting up the friz, have fun, and play hard. Everyone is anticipating to see what we can do this year and yes that means Chain, El Diablo and Florida. Let's keep the ball rolling. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . -Nopy out


UPDATE: LOOK FOR A HIGHLIGHT VIDEO TO COME...

Club Southerns: Here Comes FTS

Story will be at Club Southerns this weekend wielding the mighty power that the greater orlando area has to offer. Mostly made up of old and new Dogs (UCF), Story will surely make some kind of an impact this weekend. Whether bad or good, Captains and leaders... Morgan Bambace, Matt Robinson, Bill Igar, Phil Stokes, Brandon Geick and Andrew Roca... are optimistic in what this weekend means to the start of Story's season. Rosters will be finalized, some will impress, and the team as a whole moves to a new level. Might want to take some summer classes... Story is bringing chemistry!
