The Firedogs last two tournaments of the fall are set. We will be traveling to Denison this weekend for the originally named, “Denison Fall 2008 Tournament,” and to Bowling Green next weekend for their, “2 Discs, One Huck,” tournament. Both tournaments will be jam packed with East Plains talent and will be a great indicator of the talent all the teams in the sections have going into the spring.
The Dogs have been practicing extra hard to finish out this fall season. Monday’s practice saw a great turnout in 35 degree weather. The team ran drills and had two scrimmages despite the cold, all with great intensity. Maintaining this intensity in practice is vital for the Firedogs for the rest of the season, as the qualities they show in practice will carry over into the field. We all need to push one another to get better.
The section is looking very strong this year. Ohio State is on top as usual, and Dayton, Miami, and Ohio look to be just as good as last year. It seems like every team that made regionals has the ability to repeat again this year, while other teams are coming out of the wood work as stronger than ever. It’s going to be an exciting spring.
Denison Fall 2008 Tournament
This tournament will be the first all fall that the Dogs have close to a full roster. Senior cutter
William Tappan Kenny will be returning to the team after an ankle injury, and the close proximity of the tournament to OWU means no on can claim to have too much school work to attend. The team will only be missing three players for this tournament, Junior Cutters Jake Barnett and Zak Gomes, as well as sophomore Will Conditt.
The Dogs are seeded right in the middle of the pack for this one. It will be interesting to see what match ups will come from it when the pools are released. If it is five pools of four then the Dogs will likely be the third seed in a pool with Kenyon, Case Western and Denison B. If its four pools of five, the dogs will be the third seed in a pool with Ohio X, Denison, Bluffton and Xavier B. Either way the team will have some good sectional match ups this weekend.

2 Disks 1 Huck
OWU has always done well at BG’s fall tournaments, and we hope to continue the tradition this year. The Dogs will however be short on players this weekend due to grad school tours, GRE exams, and other ‘responsible stuff.’
The Dogs have a very tough pool, headed by the very talented Dayton Ghettoforce. Dayton has grown stronger every year and looks to make a run at sectionals and regionals this year. Also in the pool are the vastly improved Denison DFUC, and Wright State Air Strike. It should be a good test for the Dogs while playing undermanned, and a good way to finish a solid fall season.
