Terminus 09: we’re going streaking
Finish: Champs, finals over Ring of Fire 15-9; record: 7-0
After a run of about 1 Terminus win since the elder Bush’s administration, Chain Lightning has now won 2 in a row at our hometown tournament. Chain beat traditional Terminus foil Ring of Fire in the finals, in a game that, like most on the weekend, was rarely in doubt. The usual caveats about all the teams being only just out of the mothballs applied, but there was no snow this year (we got ours last weekend), just sunshine and a warm breeze.

Several tryouts were on board and making significant plays all weekend, including Andrew Carter (Tennessee), Billy Cook (Alabama), Brandon Perales (FL), Brian Edgerton (Rival), Cameron Amey (FL), Chris Sears (Rival), and Nick Fiske (Santa Barbara). Having so much talent on hand trying to make a good impression was definitely a boost this early in the season. Vintage-era Chain star Greg “Bug” Allpow was also along for the ride, seeking that Terminus title that had eluded him since before he was ever hurt that first time.
