Great 8 #4-8 have created a neat little trophy line.

Man, that one hurt. That's now three losses of 4 points or less. My guys really need to get better at finishing games.

https://youtu.be/A6Zb3T18Jms two of the three were on the road and the other was to a perennial contender. The NoCo is a tough place to play. This game does have a way of ripping out your heart. I tend to leave my absurdity for my cup exits.


A week of could of would of for the Generals. Looked real good for long portions of both contests. But against Cal a 19-7 turnover differential with probably 15 of those after halftime was the difference. And last night for 3 quarters a solid effort was done in by eight miscues in the final stanza, that coupled with a huge disparity in free throws (8-10 vs 25-27) in spite of a modest difference in team fouls (19-14) left management smelling some serious home cooking. Ahab had Moby Dick, Rick Sanchez has szchuan sauce and the Generals have Deronimo (4-21 lifetime)

And now cup consideration comes into play. A very rough draw with a trip to Wilmington to face a stout Tiger Sharks squad, though both managerial staffs are expecting the parking lot antics to reach Leeds vs Milwall levels. I haven't broken everyone down but I know Ladson also faces a stout challenge to keeping cup hopes afloat.

I don't think I've ever seen two teams that have played so many times. Granted, I don't check often. Still, quite the rivalry going.

When I was in III.9 Defenseless Babies (now in 3-7 I think) and Knights of St.John (defunct) were both there for about 15 seasons plus, otherwise I know of no one who has played so often.

My early season prediction for league title winner is Cheek.

I faced them at home, and tried to give them a run for their money . . . and it was not close. While I admit my Kitties are not at league title contender status, was hoping they were closer than this match results illustrate.

Don't see anyone in my conference catching Cheek. Cheek can afford to TIE quite a few matches, allowing them to pour it on in the playoffs. The only question is who will be facing them in the final from the other conference. Which is fine for my team, as I can now go back to focusing on trying to win the league title in couple of seasons down the road, as I continue to train my players up.

Quite the difference. I'm not sure how your guys ended up fouling so much.

Sounds like some good home cooking was brewing up at the penitentiary. Then again it is understandable in that place, Im sure the refs worry about getting shanked.yours is the one facility in the league where it is a really bad idea to drop the soap.

Blackgate Penitentiary is quite the intimidating location. I can't blame people for getting a little nervous around there.
