The boys soccer booster club is hosting an Ultimate Frisbee 3 vs. 3 Tournament on Nov. 10. The boys soccer booster pays for apparel, trips and banners for the team. Not only is it beneficial for the boys soccer team, it is beneficial to almost everyone at SHS.

“I definitely think participants in the tournament that are involved in other sports will greatly be benefited. Frisbee works on acceleration and your ability to perform cuts. You also have the fact that even if you’re not in other sports, it’s still beneficial in the sense that it gets your mind off of school and gives you something to do with friends and maybe even teachers,” Colin South (10) said.

Others say they are looking forward to being able to practice before the Frisbee season arrives.

“I’m really excited to get to practice before the season starts, and it gives me the opportunity to play with friends,” Elijah Carr (10) said.

Looking past the sport aspect of the tournament, this game of friendly competition can really be “one for the books.”

“The tournament is for students to have fun while being competitive. A lot of high school flies by in monotony and routine; this tournament is one more exciting event for students to make lasting memories with their friends,” said Brandon Jerrell, Ultimate Frisbee and soccer coach.

Whether students decide to be a participant or just be in the crowd, the tournament proves to be something fun for everyone.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity to support the soccer team, and it’s also an opportunity for everyone to come out, have fun and play some ultimate,” Blake Unger (11) said.

“Come out and prove that you have what it takes to be an Ultimate Warrior,” Jerrell said.
