The Frisbros finished the season as this year’s state champions. They changed the tune from last year’s loss in the state championships with senior captains Leo Blooston, Evan Rheingold and Will Sickels leading the way for the veteran squad.

“This year we had a lot of experienced, returning players so we were able to start out at a high level,” Blooston said. “However, many newcomers have also played a major role in our success, quickly learning the game and getting involved right away.”

In the state championship game, the Frisbros played against Mount Hebron, prevailing 15-10. Hein and Spielman were crucial in spreading the field for Rheingold when Mt. Hebron’s swarming defense cut off the short throws to the cutters. Until this game, CHS had not faced much competition, but Mt. Hebron was a worthy opponent for the Frisbros.

The team worked on incorporating its less experienced players and building up its chemistry throughout the season. Sophomore Emet Zeitz, senior Ben Spielman and senior Elliot Pack contributed as newcomers to Ultimate Frisbee. Senior Johnny Hein and Spielman functioned as deep threats for stud handler, or designated thrower, Rheingold, while senior Joe Nolan and Zeitz served as cutters, similar to receivers.

“The trust and communication between the Frisbros was simply unparalleled throughout the statewide tournament,” Rheingold said. “The offense was firing on all cylinders, and our lockdown defense gave us the competitive edge we needed to win the championship.”

The team ended the season with an impressive 17-0 record and now looks forward to continuing its success in the coming years.

“In addition to those on the A team, our B team is also fostering even more potential for years to come,” Rheingold said.
