Week 1 Power Rankings

Big shuffle up now that everyone has played.
1. Meyers (+1)
We thought this team would be solid coming in and this week they certainly proved it. With great defense and consistent rebounding this team appears to be a tough match up for anyone. Although we don't expect them to remain on the top on the charts, we do think they will consistently be a tough matchup for most teams.

2. Forbes (+9)
The win was less impressive than the team. This team meshed remarkably well. They crashed the boards and had a boat load of assists. This may be attributed to the "great coaching staff" (Quintin Forbes) but maybe they just got lucky. Beating a Deanless Tornarites is no big deal, but handling them with Justin Flanagan still on the court is shocking. Watch out for Team Forbes to make top get a bunch on wins.

3. Estes (+2)
The athleticism of the guard play proved to much for the bigs of Gingras. Gingras was missing athletic guard play of Nate Townsend but still, Team Estes looked good. With few holes on this team and athletes throughout, we expect this team to make a deep playoff push.

4. Tornarites (-3)
Losing without Dean is acceptable but getting blown out with Justin Flanagan is shocking. Even when Dean comes back the help players of this team are going to have to step if they want to reclaim the top of the rankings.

5. Stark (+4)
We predicted a loss for this team based on the pure size of Team Hecht, but the guard play of Team Stark proved too much to handle. We didn't see this game but based on the result and being undersized we expect good things from this team.

6. Booth (+6)
They crashed the boards well and hit some good shots. Although they blow Team Coveno, we attribute this more to Coveno's poor play than Booth's good play. If they continue to blow teams out then they will obviously move up the rankings, but for now they'll have to settle for an average rank.

7. McNamara (+3)
In the game of the week, they pulled it out with game winning free throw. But out of all the winners we have the least faith in this team. They missed a ton of lay ups and struggled to rebound. They won so good for them, but as of right now we don't see them as an elite team. Watch out for the return of Brian Scott though, he should help this team rise through ranks.

8. Dawson (-4)
They lost a tough game and Dylan "the Sloth" Dawson was cold for most the game. We have faith that this team will rebound though. Cam Battles is clearly a little rusty and if he can get back on track he should be able to push this team into the winning column.

9. Ordemann (-2)
They lost by 14 but they were really never in the game. They turned the ball over and failed to get defensive rebounds. This combination will lead to many more losses. If they can fix these issues, which is very possible seeing that no one has practiced yet, then they could capture a few W's.

10. Gingras (-7)
This team is ranked near the bottom, but they will in all likely hood quickly bounce back from this week 1 set back. We see them dominating the paint this year and if they can get Nate Townsend back in action they we believe they be able to handle guard play next game. With that said, Connor Keegan is looking like a serious candidate for Rookie of the Year and should help this team be competitive.

11. Coveno (-5)
Well...11 first half points is flat out embarrassing. This team came into the rec season ice cold, but despite their lack of offense they were able to keep the game somewhat close until the end. A few more made shots and a few less turnovers should be able to help this team out. Rebounding would also be beneficial.

12. Hecht (-)
We didn't catch this game but based on the result the bigs were unable to control the guard's of Team Stark. We still have faith in this team because rebounding tends to lead to victories but thus far they haven't proved anything to us that would send them up the rankings.
