Monday, October 23, 2023 - Halloween Games

It was chilly and clear at the Kiln, and once again the field was muddy from another rainy weekend. Zombeeees started savage versus shRED, who were also low in number. The disc was wet, and there were a lot of drops. Both teams had many chances to get breaks, but the score was on serve at half, 8-7 Bees. shRED received the second half pull and tied the score at 8-8. Bees got two points in a row to lead 10-8. shRED came back with four straight points to lead 12-10 as hard cap approached. Bees were backed deep into their hive, but came alive scoring two points to force U-point. shRED turned the disc over, giving Bees a chance to win. Bees saw Dave Atwood make a great cut for the game winner, but Brian Funicelli made a spectacular D, getting his hand between David's and the disc in the end zone. Working it back up the field, Captain Emily made a lovely ladybug cut to score the game winner, 13-12 shRED. Kate and Mufasa were looking sharp as an O-deer and unicorn among the Zombeeees.

About half of the Spooky Scary Skeletons arrived for the late game in skeleton costumes that were white bones on black jumpsuits. On brand, absolutely! Also very confusing when playing Moldy Bats, in their black bat costumes and jerseys. The Spooky Scary Skeleton song was playing on repeat - both the original and the club remix. The last of the Sour Patch Kids were finished off before halftime. Breezy was 1 for 1 catching candy in her mouth, while Keegs had a rare miss. (It was a surprise candy toss though, so he wasn't ready for it.) Bats were joined by a fierce pride of lions, who didn't have any candy even though they expressed interest. Diane didn't play, but as an observer she was giving out red cards the entire game. Oh, the game! Both teams were making some sweet plays, and the Halloween vibes were immaculate. Skellies took half up 8-5, and went on to prevail 15-7.

Playoffs begin this Thursday, with 1st seed Zombeeeees facing 4th seed Moldy Bats in the early game, followed by 2nd seed Spooky Scary Skeletons vs 3rd seed shRED in the late game. Remember our fall playoffs are double-elimination.
