Morning Lumberjacks
Background

This flag football team was founded by Laura Jean Caccavale and Emily Paris in September of 2008. It has been reported that the Morning Lumberjacks are the only team this season to rock tie-dye shirts. Their current record is 2-0, and they have outscored their opponents 44-0. The last statistic is particularly important because no team has ever been unscored against in the history of Wake Forest University. Furthermore, no group of heathens has ever gone undefeated against Christian teams in the National History of flag football.

Style of Play

The Morning Lumberjacks are a team loaded with tremendous defensive talent. Their style of game play is very similar to the Super Bowl champion teams of the Baltimore Ravens, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Pittsburgh Steelers. Additionally the Morning Lumberjacks have other common factors with these teams. Like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Lumberjacks feature a defensive captain from Pensacola, Florida, Derrick Brooks graduate of Booker T. Washington High School. Additionally a member of the Lumberjacks and the mother of a co-captain also share the same birthday as Steelers Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, March 2nd. Like those teams the Lumberjacks rely heavily on their defense to establish the tone and pace of play. They play very physical and aggressive defense and as a result have become the most penalized team in the league. In fact on their first offensive possession-a 2 point conversion try following an interception the team was penalized on 4 consecutive plays.

The Defensive Scheme

They play a style of defense that is marked by ferocity and quickness. The team was constructed around one principal fundamental, speed. The captains recruited heavily from the Wake Forest Ultimate Frisbee teams. They created a nucleus of quick footed and fast players. This has certainly translated to success on the defensive side of the ball. Around the nucleus the captains added physically diverse and talented players to construct a deep roster. The primary success of the defense is the pass rush. Led by a combination of Morgan Clark, Cameron Sisler, and Stephanie Heyburn, these three ladies penetrate the pocket forcing the quarterback to throw the ball into thick coverage. Although this tenacious triumvariate's presence is surely felt, Justin Hildebrand is undeniably the heart and soul of the defense. He has a knack for drawing defenders offsides and mimicking a moving wall in front of the qb - quite simply he is a towering menace. From there the canopy of defensive backs often time hawk over the ball like a vulture in the Sahara Desert which forces an abundance of turnovers and demoralizes the opposing team.

The Offensive Scheme

Offensively however the style of play is slightly more anemic. The primary strategy of the offense is to manage the game while still scoring in an efficient manner. Through an assortment of quarterbacks wielding a myriad of elaborate, and crisp plays. The wildcat three formation that the team employs involves a rotation of quarterback between Griffin McGuirt, Jake Wright, Justin Hildebrand, and Laura Caccavale. The most successful Trent Dilfer to the Lumberjacks has surely been Griffin McGuirt, due to his ability to roll out of the pocket and throw the ball down field on the run. If this team had better hands, there is little doubt as to whether or not they could put up 50 pts a game.

The special teams strategy is simple - BEAMER BALL. When punting is needed they give the ball to Ray Guy Award nominee Andrew Reinholt for an average boot of 75+ yards. Subsequently, we have a very high Madden Football IQ - BOOM!!!

History of the Name:

Jake Wright and Griffin McGuirt came up with the name "Morning Lumberjacks" while riding back from a Carolina Panthers football in which they defeated the Chicago Bears. The idea for this name was inspired due to a certain teammate and captain's sudden infatuation with the phenomenon known as morning wood. And they felt it would only be right if the team name ecompassed something about one of their awe-inspiring captains. To further validate the nature of this name, please type in "lumberjack" into the google image search engine and look at the first picture.
