For years, Acton Academy Middle Schoolers and Launchpadders have dreamed about beating the Guides at Ultimate Frisbee, much like Cleveland Brown’s fans long for a winning season.

On Friday, following the Session One exhibitions, Launchpadders and Middle School Eagles challenged Tim “Too Tall” Nikolaev; Chase “Never Miss” Patillo; Ben “The Shack” Bazan;  Chris “Bulldozer” Fisher and Jeff “Steph” Sandefer to a basketball game.

Despite great fan support, much like the Globetrotters versus the Washington Generals, the outcome was predetermined.

After the slaughter (20-18), Eagles continued in a spirited contest with mixed teams of ES, MS and LP Eagles playing against each other, a fun end to a terrific session and keeping hope alive that one day the Guides will falter.
