Fall 2017 Schedule

Our fall games are as follows:

Oct 7th (Annual Alumni Game)-  At home on the practice football field.  This is an 8 year tradition of starting out the year in a scrimmage against our former players.  So far the cats have not been able to upset their former teammates although they have come close.  Is this the year that breaks the current streak of 7 years bad luck?  Game begins 11AM.  Students report to field by 10:45


October 14th (Head to head against Scranton Univ)-  At home on the main football field.For the past couple years our nearby friends from Scranton Univ come to our home in a scrimmage game to play and see how our two neighboring teams fare before we go to tournaments.  But teams give it their all, but at the end the two teams meet and discuss their strengths and weaknesses in order to improve both teams and keep NEPA ultimate strong.  Game starts at 10AM.  Students report to field by 9:45.


November 5th (Wilkes Invitational)- Away at Wilkes University.  It's hard to believe that 11 years ago, a college felt we were strong enough a team to be invited to their event.  This is always our one and only tournament of the fall and a great way to conclude our fall season.  We thank Wilkes for all the years of invites and look forward to this event once again.  Bus leaves for Wilkes at 6:15AM.  Students need to arrive to the Western Wayne HS parking lot by 6AM.

Congrats to the 1st Place Finishers ESU.  Congrats as well to Spirit Award winners "Those Melon People".  We'd like to thank Hucket for donating our spirit award.  You can learn more about them at http://www.hucketbucket.com/

1.       Team name

2.       Team contact email and phone (required)

3.       Team level in one of the following (Elite A, A, B, C or High school).  We will use this to make our brackets.  There has been issues about this in the past, but this is the information I use for brackets so please be as accurate as possible with your assessment.

 

If your bid is accepted, there will be a $50 deposit due by March 18^th (be aware if this date falls on your spring break and plan accordingly).  Bids will be accepted in the order they are received.  I look forward to seeing all of you again.

Back Again

It's been a while since we've updated the site, but we're back and using the site to update.  Information on games and tournaments will be posted here.  Currently the only game is the annual alumni game October 10th at 11am on the turf football field. 

Wilkes Tournament Still On

It's been a rough couple days, but I am happy to report that even with school closures Dr. LaCoe has agreed to let us go to the tournament and Wilkes has agreed to still host it.  Also, Wilkes has informed me that the tournament will be finished by 4:30PM so any marching band members will be back to WW by the time the band bus leaves.  Our bus leaves WW parking at 7AM so be there by 6:45AM.  We will return by 5:30PM.  There will be some food at the tournament, but our schedule is tight this time so we WILL NOT stop for food.  Bring food with you, especially if you are going right to band afterwards as you won't have a chance for a dinner break.  For those parents and fans that want to check the tournament out.  The address they gave me was 280 Market Street, Kingston, PA 18704.  Some of the fields are at Kirby Park and some are at Wilkes.  Prepare to hike.

ESU Tournament Directions

This saturday, 9/22/12, Western Wayne will travel to a tournament hosted by ESU.  If any of you fans out there are coming to watch please not that it is not taking place at ESU.  ESU's fields are too spread out for tournament format so instead they rented out a series of soccer fields that are all in row just a few exits down the highway from the university.  The fields do not have an exact address.  When you're on I-80, take exit 310 (Delaware Water Gap/PA Welcome Center), once you get off that, take a right onto River Road, it is right there.  Hope to see you there cheering on the Wildcats in their first tournament of the year.  The tournament should start at 9AM and end rougly 4:30-5PM.

The Road To Radnor

I'll be keeping you posted on our annual trip to Radnor High School. This was the only tournament against other High Schools that we went to last year and we were able to take home a Division II second place finish having lost the championship round by only 2 points. This year we'd like to bring home the big trophy and even more importantly, finish first in the Spirit standings.

The date is currently set at Sat. March 24th. We have lots to do before it's official. We are already on Radnor's mail list. Now we need to wait till late Jan/ early Feb for them to release the info and start accepting bids. From there we need to apply for our field trip approval. Once all that goes through our officer board will look into the following.

Rostering for the tournament. Only 25 players can go and only 20 can be active with the other 5 on back up.

Practicing for the tournament. It's in March, so we won't have much time to practice, and it may even still be snowy when we start.

Gather a fan following. It's a far trip, but we have some major games and high points and we could use for some supper fans to come along. This year we are going to try to develop a car pool of support from parents, alumni, non-playing students, and friends to come cheer on the cats. Lets get some Ultimate Super-Fans out there!

Check back for more updates.

2 Yard Hammerfest Results

Last year's "1 Yard Hammerfest" was a big success and this year's sequal the "2 Yard Hammerfest", sponsored by Daredevil Discs, 5Ultimate, and VC Ultimate were just as successful.

It all went down on April 30th. Here are the final results.

1st- ESU alumni
2nd- Kutztown Univ.
3rd- Philly Pigeons (club)
4th- Ramapo College
5th- ESU
6th- King's College
7th- Scranton Univ
8th- Montclair State Univ
9th- Western Wayne High School
10th- Slipped Discs (club)

And the spirit award went to King's college and they had Ramapo nipping at their heels for it. The feedback so far was good. We'll do it again next year at the "3 Yard Hammerfest". Thanks again to all the teams that make this sport one of the best sports to play.

Western Wayne Takes Second in Division 2

The cats had great success in their first all high school tournament. To do so, the cats headed out toward King of Prussia to play at the beautiful Radnor High School Campus. Here's the results of the day.

R1: WW 13 Lancaster Country Day School 0
R2: WW 13 Radnor B HS 2
R3: WW 11 Central HS 3
Championship Round: WW 11 Carroll HS 13

The cats missed the championship by two points and brought home the 2nd place trophy! The cats played well, had a great time, and made lots of friends along the way. We'd like to thank Radnor high school for hositng and letting us attend.
