Week 4 Power Rankings

1. Tornaritis (-)
They were number 1 last week and didn't lose this week so there's no reason they should move down. They were able to handle a decent Team McNamara and have shown no signs of slowing down. Most teams are going to be looking for some miracles in order to take down this giant.

2. Meyers (+1)
Team Meyers bounced back nicely after a horrific loss in week 3. They pretty much dominated a young Team Stark and have proved that they plan on being one of the better teams this season. An area for concern with this team is that Joey Femia may have scrapped his way onto the Varsity HS school leading to his disqualification from rec ball play. This would be a devastating blow, pending commissioner Gingras's decision.

3. Ordemann (+4)
Based off poor play from some of the top rated teams, Team Ordemann is finally able to move up the Power Rankings. This Team has good players at the top of their lineup and has a solid core of role players. The acquisition of Jake Gavel has been huge but like Team Meyers they have to be careful. Rumors have been circulating that one, Wiley Ordemann, has made the Varsity squad. If this was true Team Ordemann would be in violation of Rec Bylaws section 13, which forbids Varsity players from playing on a rec court while enlisted on a a Varsity Roster. Once again the final decision will be Commission Gingras's so we will all be anxiously waiting his say.

4. Booth (-2)
This team struggled to say the least against Team Forbes. Despite losing by 26 points we still have faith that this team will be consistant and a solid team throughout the rest of the season. Sometimes you have an off night (or morning) and we think that's all this week was for Team Booth.

5. Estes (-1)
Despite winning this week we were forced to drop them in rank because of better play around the league. They won by 10 over Team Coveno but they should have dominated. Team Coveno was very short handed and didn't have any real point guards. Team Estes, being essentially only point guards, should have been able to easily handle and dominate Team Coveno, but the game was fairly close. This led to them dropping even though they got the W.

6. Dawson (-1)
Team Dawson is in the same boat as Team Estes. Despite winning we had to drop them. They almost lost to Team Hecht and it really shouldn't have been close based on where these two teams are headed. They got the win so it wasn't all bad but because it was a close shave was had no choice but to drop them.

7. Forbes (+1)
After 2 rough weeks this team came to play against Team Booth. Winning by 28 points and only allowing 32 is impressive to say the least. Based on the past 2 weeks this team is still in the bottom half of the league but if they continue to play like this then watch out for this team to return to the top of the league.

8. McNamara (-1)
The "pit stop" has apparently been extended as Team McNamara was handed their second straight loss this week. Losing to Team Tornaritis isn't too surprising or embarrassing but they still had to go down a spot. We expect them to bounce back an eventually re-rise through the rankings.

9. Stark (-)
This team lost again this week but Tim Stark will be back in action next week so we expect them to get back on track. This team desperately needs him a they have lost 3 straight all by double digits. With his return we'll see if they can turn it around but if not then this team will eventually fall further than they already have.

10. Coveno (-)
This team had a crazy short bench and still managed to keep it close against a respectable Team Estes. This team has now lost 2 games because of lack of attendance. This gives us hope for this team but only if the players start showing some more dedication. Watch out for this team to start making moves in the weeks to come.

11. Gingras (-)
Another tough loss for Team Gingras. This is their 3rd straight loss by 5 points or less. This makes their record look bad but also means they may be able to turn it around and win a lot of games in a hurry. If they can figure out how to finish then this team will rise through the power rankings fast.

12. Hecht (-)
Team Hecht fought bravely against a good Team Dawson, but they still lost and with they're loss they won't be leaving the bottom ranking. This is the second time in 3 games that Team Hecht has lost by one possession. This means they're just like Team Gingras. Their record sucks but they could rise pretty fast if they can just finish out their games.
