Week 2 Power Rankings

1. Meyers (-)
Only got to see the last few minutes of the game but based on the score they were able to handle a good Team Forbes. Since they started at the top and didn't do anything to prove they are not, they will continue to lead the Rec League Power Rankings.
2. Tornarites (+2)
With Dean back in action and Justin crashing the offensive glass this team is back on the rise. Dean had some rust in his first game back on the court but once he shook it off he was able to dominate the floor. As long Drew Bernard only passes in the weeks to come, this team should continue to win.
3. McNamara (+4)
This team blew Team Coveno out even though Garrett Solomon had, arguably, the worst game of his career. If Brian Scott shoots like he did then no one will be able to stop them... Until the playoffs that is, because Brian Scott in notoriously bad in the clutch.
4. Forbes (-2)
We have failed to see the full power of Team Forbes. Will Manzi skipped week 1 and Nate Forbes had a tummy ache for week 2 (He's just soft). But despite being handicapped this team has still proven to be one of the best in the League.
5. Booth (+1)
Team Booth hung with Dean and Team Tornarites for most of the game. Jacob Hickman has really developed as a player and has taken the reigns of Team Booth. With a full team in the future (Jack O'Neill and Jacob Booth missed week 2) we believe they should be able to play with anyone.
6. Estes (-3)
The return of Ryan Teduits was dissapointing to say the least. He had 30 turnovers and 0 points for Team Estes. Colin Teduits, Ryan's Brother, is on the record saying "I thought my brother would be good... But he was just trash." If his poor play continues watch out for Team Estes to continue to fall down the power rankings.
7. Dawson (+1)
Team Dawson has a taste for excitement. The first two games of the season have come down to the final shot for this team. They lost game 1 and won game 2. If Jake Willard can continue to add to the 3- point barrage then this team should scare the rest of the league.
8. Ordemann (+1)
The addition of Jake Gavel helped this team to a solid win against a decent Team Stark. Nick Poitras is struggling to get foul calls under the basket but even so, he is playing well and carrying the team. His play along with great help from Joey Madden and Alec Barranco makes this team a tough matchup for most other teams in the league.
9. Stark (-4)
The loss of rising star Team Stark dropped this team more than their actual loss to Team Ordemann. Until he returns to the lineup this team will struggle to capture wins. In his absence, Drew Stone will have to take the reigns of the team but we still see this team struggling for the next few weeks.
10. Gingras (-)
They squeaked out a win this week, but they were playing team Hecht so they should have handled them. This is a big team in a little league so they could either dominate the boards and future weeks or they will struggle against the small shooters around the league this season.
11. Hecht (+1)
This team moved up but it has less to do with what they did and more to do with how bad Team Coveno looks. They were close to stealing a win against Team Gingras but came up short in the end. Fewer missed layups from David Heffernan may be the difference maker in the weeks to come.
12. Coveno (-1)
We still have faith in this team but as of right now they look like trash. Zach Coveno continues to miss every shot, including layups, and this team has had some early attendance problems. On top of this predicted break out player of the year Tristan Naboicheck has yet to show any signs of breaking out for this team and without his help this may be a long season for Team Coveno.
