Dominating Opponents

As the sun sets in the chilly weather, 21 figures cast shadows down the football field. A Frisbee soars above the crowd and a player leaps to grasp it. Composed of mostly track and band members, the Ultimate Frisbee team dominates the district with skill, passion, and a brotherly bond. “What I like most about Ultimate Frisbee is watching every last gleam of hope fade away from our enemies eyes as we destroy them physically and mentally… on the field..14-0,” Phi Cao, senior, said. After suffering a reoccurring shoulder dislocation, Cao could no longer play football, Ultimate Frisbee served as the closest alternative. To Cao, the basics
of the game consist of communication, teamwork, and trust. Seniors Aaron Maier, Connor Okonski, and David Koch created the team two years ago and serve as captains, along with Jake Abeyta. “I like the competitive environment produced by the sport and the rivalries made with other schools most about ultimate Frisbee, my responsibility as a
captain is to keep the team functioning as the highest degree possible” Aaron Maier, senior, said. Maier’s responsibilities include calling the other teams in the area and organizing a time and place to play. Similar to army football, the game bans contact and steps with the disc. A team scores when the offense completes a pass in the defense’s end zone. Players self-officiate; each team member makes their own foul, line calls and resolves their own disputes.
