Week 6 Power Rankings

1. Estes (+1)
This team not only has the best record in the league but they also took down the former number one, Team Tornaritis. This team consists of all guards but somehow they make it work. The improved play of Ryan TeDuits has been a boost these past two weeks but who knows how sustainable that is. Being mostly run a gun this team will have to get hot at the right time in order to stay at the top by the end of the playoffs.
2. Booth (-)
Beating Team Meyers is not crazy impressive but winning is winning and this team does that a lot. This type of consistant play will land them a high seed come playoffs but will that be enough to make a deep push? This is the question we will be asking until they start showing some more dominating performances in these wins.
3. Tornaritis (-2)
This team has dominated all year but Team Estes showed that they are beatable. The lack luster from Justin Flanagan may have had it's tole to play in the defeat but if the Team can be stopped by an off night by one player than we question how much we can rely on them as a favorite.
4. Forbes (+1)
This Team has looked dominant at times when they are at full strength, but this week they lost Andrew Delaney to season ending shoulder surgery. This is an offensive blow as he is known for his silky smooth mid- range jump shots. We'll have to see how this team fairs with a short handed line up in the weeks to come.
5. McNamara (-1)
This team will undoubtably get a lot more W's before the end of the season but the problem is they're either very hot or very cold. If they slip up for one game in the playoffs their defense will not be able to hold it together. If they get hot at just the right time then they may have a chance to go the distance.
6. Ordemann (-)
Since losing Wiley Ordemann this team has been in some tight games. They struggle in the second half with the short bench but we still believe that this team has enough pieces to go places. Eye Jake Gavel and Nick Poitras to lead this team down the stretch towards playoffs.
7. Meyers (-)
They beat a short handed Team Gingras the doesn't know how to win so they didn't move up the rankings. They did however prove that they can win without Joey Femia. This gives this team hope for the future. Less bickering between teammates at practice may lead to better chemistry and more wins to come.
8. Coveno (+1)
After narrowly escaping Team Hecht we thought about leaving Team Coveno where they were, but they still moved up because of how the other pieces fell across the league. This Team is solid through and through but other than Zack Gavel they lack consistant shooting and because of this the offense can look quite stagnant at times. This may be their Achilles' heal but hopefully it will be something to it is something they can overcome come playoffs.
9. Dawson (-1)
The loss of Dylan Dawson is proving difficult to overcome for this Team. They've struggled on both ends of the floor and have, at times, looked lost without their leader.  Hopefully Dylan can convince Farm Head Coach Gillette to drop him down to JV or this team will continue to fall.
10. Gingras (-)
This team was short handed last week in another loss so we don't hold them to that but this team needs to figure out how to win games or they will never have a chance. This team has the pieces for success, all they need to do is put them together and finish game.
11. Stark (-)
Team Stark is in a similar situation as team Gingras. They have decent pieces but they don't seem to fit together. Without any senior leadership we don't see this team turning it around but who knows, maybe with good coaching they can find a way to get back into this league and have a chance come playoffs.
12. Hecht (-)
This team has been unbelievably close in multiple games but like the other 2 bottom feeders, they can't win. Protecting the ball and better possessions may be the difference in these close games. We'll see which of these bottom three teams can get back on track first or at all.
