Spirit is a funny thing. We talk about it each week. Sometimes its a heated discussion, sometimes its a pat on the back when a player makes a good call. Sometimes its a blog post, and sometimes its an anonymous blog post. Its something that makes Ultimate different.
But the team that wins Spirit for the season - they've consistently held a high regard for themselves, their opposition, and the game.
This year it was Blitz 1. Which makes it even more meaningful when its a team that gets in to the semi's (and almost the big game!). Cunliffe, the other Blitz leaders, and the team - good work guys. The spirit prize was a sweet case of beer.
Cobras won a pretty weird game, and rightly so - they were spectacular all season. For their troubles, they get to hold the newly engraved trophy aloft, and Wetnose gets to take home a sweet sweet prize - a new bag from our very new BPL sponsors. Check it out below.
Rookie of the season when to Rob "Beast" Reeves. If you haven't seen him, he's the tall guy with the beard skying your best man.
Best on field went to Dan Mammel. Or Bryan. Or was it Dan. Dan. I'm sure.
Okay, last one. MVP. Like spirit, this person has to consitently perform - in BPL, you can't afford to miss any games, can't afford to be sick, can't afford to jog. You get blocks, you make throws, you lead on the field. In most leagues and tournaments, this person is usually from a lower team - they stand out like dog's balls every game.
So when the MVP comes from a team like Slamtown, with multiple people who can stand out, its even more awesome.
Abra was the very well deserved MVP for this season. Hopefully he keeps being awesome with his new Go-Pro! Hope you enjoy.
For me, thanks for another good season. It's still fun, and I'm hoping I can do some good things that will have some long term effects.
