Saturday March 13, Como Park’s Ultimate Frisbee team prepared for the 8^th Annual St. Johns Indoor Tournament at St. Johns University in Collegeville.

With six games to be played in a matter of ten hours, the day was sure to be a rough one.

Going into the first game, Luther Buhr got his team ready by stating what needed to be accomplished if they wanted to win the whole thing.

“To win we will need to run hard, play tight defense and look for the big throws on offense,” Luther said. And they did.

Como Park was able to win three out of their first four games, only losing to Armstrong by one. This set Como up against Cretin in the Semifinals.

Como had played Cretin before in the fall and won, but this was not the same Cretin team. They have been working hard all winter and they were also playing with a chip on their shoulder.

Como started the game with a huge pass from Jesus Caballero to Caleb Coleman in the endzone. Cretin then fired back with a deep pass of their own.

The game started to become a shoot out, with each team using the deep game. The first team to stop the others would win.

After Como was leading 5-4, they started to break down. Due to fatigue the team started making simple mistakes and Cretin was capitalizing on them. Como ended up losing the game 13-6.

Como finished the tournament with a win to take third place. Even without one of their captains Dan Heuer, Como was still able to play strong and show great improvement.

This was a great showing for Como Park. Never before has Como Park been able to play with the big dogs and they did just that.
