Thank you to everyone who came out for E8s 2017!
Fifteen teams battled it out, and in a kind-of-sort-of rematch from last year, Sports Fans (Phoenix Ultimate?) pulled off the upset and took the title away from Banana Cutters. Though they lost a nail-biter of a semi-final to Banana Cutters (a time-out, a contested goal-line stall, far too many layouts...), the Protectors of the Human Race rebounded to not only take third place, but also win the Spirit Prize!
We raised $3600 (up $300 from last year's record!!!), meaning each of the three selected charities will be receiving $1180!
