Week 8 Power Rankings

10. Dzwonek (-)
It's looking like team Dzwonek has finally announced itself as the league's worst team. They're sat at the bottom of the league and they haven't came remotely close to a win in weeks. Being good friends with a few of the players on this team really pains me because they look like a bunch of clowns running around on the court. I mean would it hurt to keep the game somewhat close?

9. Donaruma (-)
The time for optimism with this team has passed. Although they're in better shape than team Dzwonek having their past game come down to the buzzer, they still can't find that ever illusive win. Similar to the problem team Dzwonek is having with Tommy Raymond taking a ton of shots, team Donaruma has a similar problem with Sri taking a ton of shots. On the bright side, they have one of the easier teams in the league coming up soon with a morning matchup with team Cianci.

8. Cianci (-)
Well, the season long issue of attendance holds true once again and team Cianci picks up a 6th loss on the season due to no attendance. Most of the time team Cianci can find a player or two to step in, but without any other games going on, there were not enough players to play. They still could be a playoff threat if their players schedules can line up.

7. Mcnamara (-)
 I don't want to come across as a jerk, but I'm a firm believer that team Mcnamara is the worst 4-4 team this league has ever seen. They've been able to pull 4 wins out almost like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat, no one's really sure how they've done it. Do I think they'll be able to pull wins out in the playoffs the same way they've pulled them out in the regular season? Absolutely not.

6. Jarboe (-2)
This past week we saw something we would have never expected from our past champions, but they had to forfeit due to a lack of players. This loss will balance out the questionable win they got against team Donaruma and help balance out the standings. It has to be said that team Jarboe has had a rather underwhelming season, but as we get closer and closer to playoffs and Brendan gains his health back, expect a deep playoff run.

5. Kelly (+1)
I can't say any of us saw this coming, but team Kelly was able to deliver one of the top dogs (Bonaventura) a shock loss. They constantly surprise the league and are without doubt the most unpredictable team we have in this league. Maybe it was the surprise appearance of Sammy Eggiman that got them the win, but whatever they did last week they should try and replicate from here on out. 

4. Bonaventura (-1)
Team Bonaventura has dropped out of the top 3 to almost everyones surprise due to a shock loss versus team Kelly. Team Bonaventura has looked like a threat towards the championship ever sense the season started, but with back to back losses it looks like their season is starting to get de-railed. Is it fair to partially pin this on Rodrick (Derek) Caruso? I don't see why not, he was no where to be seen for their first loss and probably should've stayed home the way he played in the 2nd. 

3. Anzivino (+2)
It's looking like Will Bordes is really stepping into the leader role for team Anzivino. He's been dropping weekly 20 point games carrying team Anzivino to the 3 seed as of now. The dynamic combo of Groton-Dunstable's most changed winner (Ivan Sturm), Groton Dunstable fastest man (Zach El Masri), and the the victim of Groton Dunstable's poor decision on the Thursday 2 hour delay (Will Bordes) is looking scary good.

2. Strauss (-)
Team Strauss may be turning into the same let down as team Bonaventura picking up an unexpected loss last week. They have the always threatening team Jarboe next on the schedule and Jake Strauss will need all the help he was getting earlier this season if they have any hopes of making a run for the championship. 

1. teDuits (-)
After doing some extensive research, I have stumbled across pictures of the old travel basketball team for GD and what do you know, twin brothers Bradley and Colin we're right there next to many of their former teammates who are now varsity stars. It's become more and more clear that Bradley and Colin have teamed up to try and become the stars they always dreamed of being on the varsity stage. This rec season has been about proving everyone who's called them "terrible" and "un-atheltic"and finally after all these years, getting their names on the basketball map. Sadly it has worked, they are 8-0 and clear top dogs.
