With more than 200 fans, friends, and families cheering them on, the Pennsbury Boys Ultimate team came back from an 11-8 second half deficit to beat Lower Merion in the Born to Dive championship game 12-11. After the impressive win in the wind, Pennsbury is now ranked 8th among all United States high school teams. Lower Merion is 9th.

The entire team contributed with tenacious defense and disciplined cutting and throwing. While everyone made remarkable throws and catches in the breeze, Kyle Ford impressed again with his gravity-defying leaps and dives. He and the other captains - Jimmy Bray, Jack Gallen, and Jacob Neil - displayed talent, passion and maturity that motivated their team and reflected favorably on the entire program.

This introductory clinic offers a great chance to see what this fun sport is all about. The Pennsbury team is a special group of players, ranked in the top 10 in the entire country and led by a cadre or remarkable athletes. They will coach and entertain the students, and demonstrate how much fun a person can have with a flying disc.
