Parity - Week 13 Lowlights

This week is an unlucky week 13. Do you know how I know this? So many of you failed at frisbe (sic). Let's take a look at some of the hilarious yet abysmal failure.

Slow Start, Worse Finish: Al Colantonio had 2 drops in the first point of his game and was rightly scored on. He finished the week with 8 total throw aways and 3 drops for 11 turnovers all on his own.

Why Didn't You Do More of That: There was a Callahan! I totally get to call out my own team on this, because nothing improves morale and on-field execution more than shame, blame and finger pointing.

Stacy Wowchuk was stuck on a sideline after picking up the disk and Justine was marking the hell out of her! Chris Tran was the bail handler and ran an up-line cut to set up a backfield reset that moved the disk off the sideline! This is basically the perfect play!

Then Dave O'Connor ran right at Chris Tran, jammed the space and left Chris Tran with no options. Stacy then had to throw a desperation reset to contested space, and it was caught for a Callahan! Stacy, Chris, Dave - you guys directly caused a Callahan.

I guess we should also give Ian credit for catching it, but honestly given the rest of the game he had (12 total throwaways, I think a new record for the year) I'm going to give the Callahan credit to Justine's good mark and the abject failure described above.

Did Someone Say Abject Failure?: Everyone failed to throw at Adam MacDonald. Almost a 1/3 of the disks thrown at him were thrown at him by the other team (he had 7 D's and most of them were freebies).

Pew Pew Pew!:Lots of people threw the disk away a lot. In the late game, there was a string of 4 straight throwaways before Megan Berry completed a single bail pass. Here are the names with more than 5 throwaways:

• Al Colantonio
• Alex Bush
• Allan Godding
• Andrea Proulx
• Geofford Seaborn
• Graham Brown
• Heather Wallace
• Ian Ewing
• Jessie Robinson
• Khalid Al-Zahrani
• Kris Bergman
• Krys Kudakiewicz
• Megan Berry
• Mehmet Karman
• Owen Lumley
• Sandra Hanson
• Sina Dee

This is... a lot of you. It's also an interesting slice of Parity talent, and you are all in good company, being on a list with Owen Lumley. I also must point out that every single player on this list also did some pretty great things.

The Few Shining Moments of the Evening: Kirsten Querbach had 9 goals. 9 goals! Greg Probe dished out 4 A's and 1 2A and only threw it away 1 time, proving you can do great things without Pew Pew Pew! Brent Burton completed 22 throws and never threw it away! Matt Kerr was quietly and efficiently productive with 4 scoring events on 11 touches! Michael Blanchard rarely shows up but when he does he scores goals! James Maeng, Rob Tyson, Stan Kent and Kathryn Jarret-Ekholm converted 7 of 8 points they started on offense! So did Laura Chambers, who with a $117,500 week looks like the driving force on her line. 

Parity Debut: Sideline Chirpmaster Ariel played a game as a sub, and was just okay at frisbee.
