Trick or Treat

Halloween was here which means the classic Halloween tournament "Huckfest" was back. For the first time ever Eastern Michigan split up their team into two with an X/Y split. With only half the people and talent scattered between the two teams we had no clue what to expect. But after each team won their first game with scores of 13-3 and 13-4 both teams had a lot of confidence that they could compete no matter what.

In pool play Eastern Michigan one went 2-1 with two very commanding wins and one very close loss. In the other pool Eastern Michigan two went 3-0 with easy wins for every single game.

Now it was time for bracket play and Eastern Michigan one would barely miss the championship bracket but Eastern two made the cut. Eastern Michigan two won the very first game very easily and finally faced their first big challenge in the semi-finals against Calvin College. Calvin played a zone that Eastern was not able to adjust to and basically shut down our offense.

When it was all said and done Eastern 2 got 3rd place and Eastern 1 guy 12th place, both out of 24 teams. Everyone in attendance was very happy with what we saw. We feel much more confident now, knowing that when we put our teams together that we can become a huge force to deal with.

Happy Halloween!
