"Ghetto Shootout" Proves to have "Swag"

We hope this message finds you well. It has been a little while since our last post, and just like Michael Mills yearns for violent crime, you need our words. We apologize for depriving you of that.


From the sweat of their brow, the new Ghetto Forcers have shown their devotion, the old Ghetto Forcers have shown their loyalty, and the injured kids just hang out. 

A mere two weeks ago, the Ghetto Force hosted it's first tournament for many of the players' first time at UD. The "Ghetto Shootout" invited A and B teams from Cincinatti and Wright Street to play in a small, local tournament.

The A team started with a game against UC. As Phil motivated the team (strangely not by threats of sprints and burpees), a truly talented line was put on to the field to crush the enemy like the insects they were. After a slow (like really slow) start, the team began to rally back into the game. UC closed the half at 7-4. After a hard fought battle for the rest of the game, the team fell to UC 13-9. Jordan (not-to-be-confused-with-Primeape) Manke, Zach (BustBack Team Member) Kaylor, and Mark (new-attendance-page-nanny) Federenko all had huge D's. 

In their second game against Wright State, Alex (the Dazzle) Frasz dropped a pull.



After another hard fought battle, the Ghetto Force fell 13-12 to Wright State.

In an all out annhilation, the B-team was defeated by Wright State's A team. There will be no further discussion on the matter. 

In their second and third games, the Ghetto Farce (Dayton B-Squad) fell to Cincinatti's B-team 13-8 and beat Wright State's B-team 13-5. Ted (the teddy bear) Lannert skyed someone in this game (...??). Fun was had by all involved. 

Among both teams, drops and poor throws seem to be the biggest problems.

Upon completion of the morning practice portion of the year, the Force has moved on to outdoor practices led by Captain-elect Mark (already-has-a-nickname-earlier-in-the-post) Federenko.  

The Ghetto Force looks forward to traveling to Miami, OH, for the annual "Boogie Nights" tournament. Best of the luck to the boys and farewell our faithful followers. PEACE.
