The First Annual Andrew “Stitches” Gelston Graham Charitable Foundation(AGGCF) Hat Tournament has been announced! It will be on Saturday June, 11th 2011 from 9am to 4pm. Mark your calenders! It will be held at Willow Creek Park in Englewood, Colorado. Players from Mamabird and Kail are attending so this will be one competitive hat tournament, however players of all skill levels are encouraged to participate. You can register early and reserve your spot and save $7 from tournament day registration. Water, bananas, and other energy snacks will be provided along with some other choice CU schwag.

All proceeds will go to the AGGCF which educates and supports families affected by youth violence.

As many of you know, Andrew “Stitches” Graham – a former Mamabird
player – was killed in November while walking home from the train
station. Those of you who played with Stitches know that he was a
unique and kind spirit. We have dedicated this collegiate season to
his memory.

The team would like to help Andrew’s mom, Cyndi, attend Collegiate
Nationals this year. We are asking this year’s team and Mamabird
alumni to contribute to this effort. Any amount is appreciated.

If you are interested in participating, please email Marty Freeman
(freemamd@colorado.edu) with your pledge, and we will organize a way
to collect your donation. As time is short, we are asking you to
respond as soon as possible.

Thank you.
Mamabird, 2010

Thanks to all the parents for dinner and all their support. A big thanks to coach Catt for the breffast. Most of all, thank you to coach Jim for all the hours he put in this season with us.

Centex: We came out a little slow our first game partly because we thought games started 30 min later than they did and started down against some team I have never heard of and then went on a 10-1 run to end the game and then carried that momentum in our next game against Harvard. The Harvard game ended with probably the most sensational point of the tournament with a big sky by freshman Zander Padget over multiple defenders followed by a sky and line toe by senior Kevin Schipper for the win. We kept the energy up and finished the day with wins over Texas A&M and Texas despite coach Jim not being able to keep his mustache on. The 2nd day started with Jim cruising the town by himself  in one of the vans so the whole team drove to the fields in 1 van with all with everyones gear. We managed to get to the field on time this time though and came out strong against Stanford and slowly pulled away for the victory and did the same in the Illinois game. We were happy to see Washington in finals for some revenge after a 13-6 lose at Stanford. There was some wind for finals but both teams were able to score up wind. Fueled on humiliation, anger and mamabird hate from Stanford, we were able to get up wind and down wind breaks giving us 15-7 victory.

Other updates:
-Thurs practice is now 4-5, same place though.
-Team shirts and Patagonia hoodies coming sometime this semester(hopefully).

Pic’s and video coming soon.
