Sectionals

Sectionals were disappointing. We lost to Renegade on universe point first thing in the morning, then lost to Streetgang 13-8ish a couple rounds later. With that, our sectionals were pretty much over. We finished third and our road at regionals will be tougher.

I'm not feeling terrible about the weekend, though. For whatever reason, we just didn't play well on Saturday. Maybe it was waking up at 5:30 in the morning. Often times, teams walk away after losing a game to a better opponent and think, "Man, we totally should have won that game. We just played badly." In reality, the other teams good defense was the reason that you didn't play well, and there's no way you should have won the game. I don't think that's the case here.

I think we can play much better. Whether we will or not, and what the conditions will be like in Colorado, that we will have to wait and see. But at the moment, I'm not especially broken up or worried about it. Just back to the grindstone for 3 more weeks with a focus on regionals.
