Another Rookie Captain this season will be Scott Huffard. He’s been around a while, but everyone might not know him. He is competitive and I think will make a great Captain. Let’s see what he has to say:
Player Bio:
Name: Scott “Dred” Huffard
Captain Experience: Rookie

For those of us who might not know you too well tell us a little bit about where you’re from and your history with playing Ultimate (how you got started, memorable experiences, how long you’ve been playing etc..)
Huffard: I started playing ultimate way back in high school as one of the founding members of my school’s team in Pennsylvania which I guess means I’m going on close to 10 years of playing experience. I then played 4 years at the college level with Penn State, mostly at the B team level. Since moving here for grad school I’ve been a regular at the Finley pickup game and I’ve played in many leagues and the occasional tournament.

With Fall League 10 starting in less than 2 weeks I thought it would nice to introduce this season’s Captains in an interview format. Each Captain was asked a different set of questions to keep things interesting. I’ll be posting a different Captain’s Interview each day so stay tuned.
First up is Rookie Captain Andy Hwang aka Disc Flicker:

Regionals 2009
After such a disappointing season in 2009 we were all so determined to win it all this season. At the beginning of the season I think we were almost too determined. We played with very little respect for our opponents and sometimes even to our teammates, myself included. I went through a really bad breakup at the beginning of the season that didn’t help my mindset and I was battling some spiritual issues, as well. It just came to a point in my life where I didn’t like the person I had turned into. I needed to take a step back from everything in my life. I was not happy with how I was running the team and I felt as if I was letting them down not as Ultimate players, but as my friends for how I was leading them.
Chris Gibson skys 2 CUT players Nationals 2010
During my weeks or so of absence from the team Chris Gibson took over and did a fantastic job. I didn’t mean to put all the weight on his shoulders, but he took it all and really did an amazing job. During my time off I really got to learn a lot about myself and life. I had countless talks with Chris and Sage. We ended up one night talking for about 3 hours outside my house when it was far too cold to be outside at all. I started seeing the love my friends had for me and I started to think differently about how I lived. That was probably the biggest turning point in my life. I started to live my life no longer for myself, but for the Glory of God.
