Can you think of anyone that can play a ridiculously athletic and indefatigable (look it up freshman) weekend at a tournament, beating anyone deep, getting sick layout D's, skying the best players in the nation... can you think of anyone else you'd want as a case-race partner? Of course you can! It's Cameron Amey!

As soon as Cameron came to UCF, he already had a notch of ultimate on his belt. He and others (of whom two went to Florida and helped achieve a national championship in 2006) helped start the ultimate frisbee team at Lakewood Ranch High School.

Along with Danny "Nitro" Bumgarner, Stephen "Swill" Williams, Bill Igar, Brennan Landreville, and Adam Goldberg, Cameron help conceive the Ultimate Frisbee Club at UCF (Dogs Bio). Cameron was athletic, smart, and a quick learner. With the help of his fellow players, Cameron was shaping up to be solid addition to the Dogs of War.

When I showed up in 2006, Cameron was the player we all looked up to. He made the big plays look easy, and the easy plays look even easier. He stood out as a leader and made his presence known on the field and at practice. I couldn't tell you how many times I've had my ass eaten like it was Saturday night Taco Bell at 2am. And we all found out that if he yelled at you, he liked you.

In 2007 and 2008, Cameron easily became one of the best players in the region and noticable all around the nation. But off the field... Cameron was a solid guy.

When Cameron wasn't playing ultimate, he spent his time playing World of Warcraft, Super Smash Bros., and drinking with the team. Oh and he was majoring in Criminal Justice as well I think.... but that doesn't matter. He made sure that no one's excuse for missing practice was school.

Cameron's presence is still felt on and off the field; whether it be a sick D one of us makes that we remember Cameron doing it to Brodie or whether it be when we go downtown and remember Cameron getting kicked out of Firestone.

At CCC this year, UNC-W's coach asked me if Cameron "Army" was still playing this year. I said no he graduated and he said, "well at least we have a chance at regionals."

Thanks for everything Cappy.
