But for one Seneca team on its way to national championships, none of that is really an apt description.
One of the players, the star player in fact, has four legs. And fur. And he isn’t husky, he’s a border collie.
At the U.S. Disc Dog Freedom Weekend Nationals conducted in Simpsonville over Memorial Day weekend at Freedom Weekend Aloft this year, Bob Bradley and Chase earned a spot in the U.S. Disc Dog National Championship that will take place in Cartersville, Ga., Oct. 8-10.

SENECA — In the United States, 76,000 animals are euthanized each week, and Debi Boies wants to save as many of those adoptable pets as she can.
Pilots ‘N Paws, a 501c3 nonprofit program, gets pilots to volunteer their time and planes to take adoptable dogs that would otherwise be euthanized to rescue shelters and adoptive homes.
“Oftentimes, when shelters are overcrowded, overpopulated, there just aren’t as many adoptive homes out there,” Boies said, adding that Southern states generally have the most overcrowded animal shelter. “We provide a means to transport the animals that are about to be euthanized to places where there’s actually a waiting list for adoptive homes in other areas of the country.”
On Saturday, Steve Edwards, who owns Eagle Media along with his brother, Jerry, will use his piloting skills to pitch in. He’ll fly his plane from Oconee County to Greenville, where he’ll pick up three dogs that had been scheduled to be put down and fly them to Virginia for rescue. It’s all part of Pilots ‘N Pets 5,000, a nationwide effort to save 5,000 vulnerable pets from euthanasia Sept. 12-20.
