COLUMBIA — Ultimate Frisbee, also known as just Ultimate, is one of the more laid-back competitions at the Show-Me State Games. Players officiate their own games, and opposing teams cheer their competition's successes. Most games end in a good-natured cheer, and no one takes themselves too seriously.

But for one team this weekend, the spirit of camaraderie and cooperation goes beyond the playing field. The Red Hill Rabbits drove from Rutledge to spend a Saturday in the park and play Ultimate.
