As the Homegrown Kings prepare to play their last home game this Saturday, CEO and Owner, MrJ, spoke with the press at a recent conference outside of the Kings Den and in front of thousands of fans. "We never had plans to stay in Div II this season," he began, looking out at the sea of faces who hung on his every word. "We felt our arrival here this season was a season early; we didn't have our core starting group at peak training," he explained as the restless crowd absorbed his words. "So, we focused on training instead of winning. To the thousands of patient Kings' fans standing before me, I say this - although we will continue to train Leyshon and Georgijev next season, we have two important announcements." The crowd hushed to a silence. "Firstly, it is with great joy that I announce that next season, back in Div III, fans will see the best Kings' team ever assembled as we hunt down a Div III title before returning to Div II!" Fans cheered and clapped as one. "You will see a stronger Livingstone, Hunter, Seiser and X-Man!" More cheering. "And secondly, fans will remember well the excitement and buzz around the club in the days and months leading up to the signing of a 19-year old 7'3" giant named Hunter!" The crowd exploded. "Or the day we announced that the X-Man was coming home!" The crowd went crazy momentarily, until MrJ waved them to silence with his hands. "So, it is with that same level of excitement, that same heightened expectation, that same understanding that the Kings are becoming something unstoppable, that we would like to announce that another star will be arriving at the end of this season; a star who, we strongly believe, will signal the start of the true rise of the Homegrown Kings!"
