| do not have an actual website this year as levae.com no longer serves the purpose it once did. I am in the process of making a new great new website and looking to add players and games of the week highlights on the page for next season. These rankings are only my opinion as many of you know I have been doing these for 11 years and I am pretty accurate with my opinions not only regionally but I am well known at the national level as well. I am still not coaching anymore as I am very busy with the prep school but I will be attending games starting this week... we have 2 weeks until playoffs begin.. Some major headlines we should be looking at…
HEADLINES FROM THIS PAST WEEK.. Division 2 JPW is Hyde Park and everyone else.. They beat up on a very good Mt Hope team this weekend. IT will take a great game for someone to beat them..
Remember to send in your player of the week nominees for last week’s contest.. Also games of the week for this week will be listed at the divisions they are in..
1. Emass playoffs now have seeds 1-8 no longer leagues matter where you are in the playoffs
2. RISMA HAS NO PLAYOFFS
3. Unlimited division looks strong again and will try to maybe get us another national title?
4. Games of the week and player of the week submissions can begin by emailing me directly @ cragoza@brooksschool.org
5. As many of you know I have paid my own way in traveling to nationals and regionals and games each week for many years...I have now set up a PayPal account for travel funds and for the website we are in the process of making…
6. SCPW IS IN SEMI FINALS THIS WEEKEND
PAYPAL ACCOUNT : cragoza@brooksschool.org
EMASS playoffs begin next week.. LOOK NEXT MONDAY NIGHT FOR BRACKETS … I will be attending as many playoff games as I can along with some of my team. Please let me know where you think we should be!! Also I will make predictions next Monday night for each game each night… Don’t hold it against me.
Without Further ado….
