A bit late but I just remembered the team picture for s62, hopefully it's accurate -
(https://i.imgur.com/hSoglN3.png)We had a strong season, I believe it was the best performance in the Europe U21 Championship Tournament for thirty seasons or so. Unfortunately we failed to qualify for the second round - Greece, Germany and England all ended with six wins, and the following PD - 174, 173, 173. So a tie with Germany, and we finished third due to scoring fewer points.
Half the squad were playing their second season for the U21's - Firosh, Ko, Miyazaki, Soar, Coldwell, Orville, Williams.
We also say goodbye to Clint Timko, who completed an incredible third season for our country. With his low potential he won't get the chance to play for the NT, but he still has many seasons ahead with my Utopia team.
Some leaderboard achievements from this squad:
Appearances - career:Clint Timko (40, 1st)
Dharmaputra Firosh (33, tied 3rd)
Lee Coldwell (32, 5th)
Grant Miyazaki (31, tied 6th)
Hieronymus Orville (30, tied 8th)
Points - career:Dharmaputra Firosh (494, 1st)
Buster Ko (394, 7th)
Points - season:Dharmaputra Firosh (264, 3rd)
Buster Ko (244, 6th)
Rebounds - career:Clint Timko (341, 1st)
Rebounds - season:Clint Timko (156 in s61, tied 4th)
Assists - career:Clint Timko (144, 1st)
Assists - season:Clint Timko (62 in s61, 7th)
A big thank you to everyone who trained players, almost every player in the squad made important contributions last season. Special thanks to js8, who did a great job with his three guards. And Zeus who did most of the work training Williams and McGoldrick. As always if you would like to get involved, please message arrows or myself, we'd love to have more interest in the U21 team.
