Schedule Posted

The 2012-2013 Schedule has been posted.  You can view it by clicking the "Schedule" tab/link at the top of this page.  It includes game and practice times.  Games will begin this weekend.  Team practices will begin next week.  There will be open practices tonight 12/6 and tomorrow 12/7, but they will be organized by player last name.  Please check one of the previous posts for this information.

Preseason 2012-2013 Power Rankings

1. Saraceno
Saraceno has built a team that can play inside and out. They have a couple of the best big men in the league as well as two guards who know the game and can shoot from the perimeter in Kessler and Walsh. They should be a threat throughout the season and into the playoffs.

2. Dawson
 Dawson has a solid core of players who are used to playing with each other. They too should be able to play inside and out, and watch for a sleeper, Henry Judge, to make an impact throughout the season.

3. Debreceni 
Team Debrecini is littered with Recball veterans this season. A team with six seniors, and three juniors, they should have good chemistry and experience on their side in addition to their talent.

4. Stone
Stone is another team with a good amount of experience. They have some good athletes who have a good feel for the game, however they may have rebounding issues with only one player listed over 6'0.

5. Mahan
Team Mahan on the other hand should have no trouble rebounding. With the "Triple Towers " they have good size down low, but it will be interesting to see how the play of their guards works out.

6. Werner
Making a return to recball, coach Werner has a good base with players who can shoot the ball with consistency as well as play down low and rebound. Plausse and Wirta are two versatile players with those attributes.

7. Bailey
Another coach coming back to recball, coach Bailey has a team that should shoot and rebound the ball well, but I'm not sure who they plan to put at the point....

8. Gingras
In Hourani, Gingras has a player who can do a little bit of everything. This team should have good team chemistry, as they all share a love for the game, and will be sure to bring a high level of energy to every single game.

9. Stark
I don't know that anybody has seen Higgins play in years, but Stark appears to be another team with good all-around talent. The only flaw I see in this team is a potential lack of shooters.

10. Tranfaglia
Tranfaglia is a team with good rebounding forwards everywhere. The Allen brothers are a good example. However their guard play seems to be lacking.

11. Stevens
The guard tandem enters its fourth and final year as one of the best in the league. A typical team stevens, it appears to have a little bit of everything: some shooters, some bigs, some athletes. It will be interesting to see if it is a team that will be able to press and run as well as previous years.

12. Tornaritis
Tornaritis has a solid base with another one of the best guard tandems in the league. They have some athletes, but are low on bigs, which could lead to problems on the boards.

13. Dorff
Team Dorff is loaded with players that could have potential break out seasons. If Keast, Dorff, and McGlaughlin can step it up this year, they could easily spike in the power rankings.

14. Deluca
Deluca is the owner of the most experienced and versatile player in the league, Charlie Burke. He may have to, but very well could put his team on his back, and carry them to the top of the league.

Practice Times (THIS WEEK ONLY)

Because the draft only occurred last night, regular team practices will not be held this week.  Instead, the practices will be organized alphabetically by player's last name.  Please show up at the gym at the following times:

Thursday, 12/6:   6:00-7:30   A-K  MSS
                         7:30-8:55   L-Q  MSS

Friday, 12/7:        7:30-8:55   R-Z  MSN

Games will be starting this week, so make sure to stay tuned for an updated team-by-team game and practice schedule.
