ULTIMAX 2003 Wrap Up

Cape Fear Ultimate teamed up with a couple HOSS masters -- CapeHOSSa -- and a couple first-year college studs Bo and Connor (sky's the limit for those two kids-- and they play with cape fear spirit!!) for a respectable showing on a gorgeous wekeend at the annual ULTIMAX tourney at ECU!!

First game we lost to NC State by just 1.. ouch!! it was a dandy including a greatest by Hanson!! then a key matchup against local men's club team Warriors (who had a couple CFU pickupers playin with 'em!).. CapeHOSSa was scoring at will against the bad guys.. but so were they on us... a few drops in the endzone and they took it by 3...

Then CapeHOSSa bounces back to drop Trama 13-12..in the cross-over we faced South Philly Mob, despite three of us going down with cramps in the game before we went up on them at half, again our offense unstoppable.. but we couldn't stop them from running channel aka spread offense on us and we caved in by 4..

Sunday we faced Maryland in a classic punch-for-punch battle.. we were up throughout the scorcher, 10-9, 11-10, 12-11.. cap goes on and one D and a point-block on our endzone later they stun us 13-12 !!

Yet again CapeHOSSa claws back, knocking off Trama a second time and then dousing rival master's team from Raleigh, Ol' Cranky to finish the weekend!!

You still reading this?? Then lemme say there is NO DOUBT that had a few other HOSSers joined us we could've won against State/Warriors on Saturday and gone into the championship bracket!! I am totally stoked and proud at how far we've all come as a team.. *sniff sniff*

Also Wahine, UNCW Seaweed, UNCW Seaman all represented, Weiggand joined X-Rates to do a lot of damage ..
