by Jean Gaetan
Ten...nine...eight... Nothing will stop it. ...seven...six...five... the launch sequence has begun. ...four three... The rest of the world can only stand back and ...two...one... watch you blast off!

The rain held off for the middle school play-off tournament several weeks ago. But no one could hold off Rayne. Murchison 8th grader Rayne Frazee, that is.

The teams were split into A and B divisions, altogether tallying ten different rosters from Kealing, Lamar, Murchison, O. Henry, Robinson and St. Francis. The fields were packed and the energy was high as play began first thing in the morning on the warm spring day.

Texas Shootout Open Division Recap
by Daniel Poindexter
The UT intramural fields hosted a showcase of world-class Ultimate last month for the annual Texas Shootout. Austins Doublewide, fifth in last year's UPA national championships, hosted 09 runner up Revolver (SF Bay area), '09 #3 Sockeye (Seattle), UK powerhouse Clapham, and local stud teams Seuss (Austin) and Super Club (Houston).

With the World Ultimate and Guts Championship in July, three of the top US teams and one of Britains best gathered to use Shootout as a final tune-up before traveling to Prague.
