  4. This looks easy, here are your playoff teams:

    Division I - Copperfield, Ssshhhwings

    Division II - Kingwood, Westside 1

    Division III - Hurricanes 1, Deucebags

    ReplyDelete
  5. Why would you put 2 Westside Teams in the Same Division? It makes no sense at all.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I think the Sienna 4.0 is confused as to which sport they are fielding a roster for - 22 players and counting. That's enough for offense and defense for UT. Now they just need to add special teams.

    ReplyDelete
  7. 4.0
    Division I:
    1-Bear Creek
    2-Copperheads
    Division II:
    1-Chancellor's
    2-WSTC-Spin Doctors
    Division III:
    1-Hurricanes
    2-Sienna Plantation
    Division IV:
    1-LLTC-SAP
    2-LLTC-Rolido Boys

  8. Actually 22 is a good number because if they make it to sectionals a lot of people will not be able to make it.

    ReplyDelete
  9. The Hurricanes 4.5 team is over-rated. The Dibuas are great. Phoumarath is ok. Burmann is about 70 years old. Day is a head case. Green, Morton, Regent and Li are all getting worse every year. Morgan lost to a 4.0 in the Coke. Hunkler and Sarosh are average. Huffman is under-rated. If they use the Dibuas in doubles they could get upset by a team with two decent singles players.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yes, sienna dies have a tin of people. Could create some strife later on.

    you got it dead on... however, i would not put sarosh and hunckler in the same category. hunckler is much better and also not arrogant.

    ReplyDelete
  12. sarosh should play on the hurricane2 team

  14. I think that's enough Sarosh-bashing. Keep that on the other blog.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Morgan lost to a 4.0?

    ReplyDelete
  16. So what if Morgan lost to a 4.0. Get a life that 4.0 would beat half the people in that 4.5 draw.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Excellent sumation of the Hurricanes. If you take Odion and Omon off the team, you have a bad team.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Really that's funny league season has not even started and already making assumptions. Obivously if Omon and Odion never played on Kingwood Crush then they probably would never have made it to Sectionals I guess. It's a team league whether or not Dibuas play is irrelevant. The Hurricanes are still a competitive team.

    ReplyDelete
  19. SAP finishing 1st in Division IV? No way. They haven't made any noise in a while.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Copperhead will not finish in the top 2. Willowfork is the sleeper with Bear Creek as the favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Above comment was for the 4.0.

    ReplyDelete
  22. When does league officially start?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Copperfield is the team to beat in all of 4.0, not just Division I.

    I - Copperfield / Bear Creek
    2 - Smokers / Lakeside (Chancellos)
    3 - Hurricanes / Sienna (maybe JCC)
    4 - Rolido Boys / SAP (Lost Forest)

    All divisions look balanced, should be a fun year.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I agree...Copperfield and Hurricanes are the best team in 4.0
    Sienna and Bear Creek right behind them. Lost Forest and Lakeside in third position.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Copperfield will not have a chance to advance this season.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Both the Copperfield 4.0 and 4.5 teams are overrated. They are equally in danger of missing the city playoffs, let alone advancing.

    4.5 - Loss of John Kudrick is likely a death blow.

    4.0 - Noone on that roster scares anyone.

    The Hurricanes on the 4.5 & 4.0 boast players that scare anyone.

    4.5- Dibua's Brothers anchor a solid roster, Morton keeps winning regardless what the blogs say

    4.0 - Scott Foster, Bruce Inting, Tuyen Nguyen, James Rice

    Hurricanes look to be the class of the divisions.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Sienna now has 24 players. It looks like their strategy is to have a different line up for every match.

    ReplyDelete
  28. can you even get 24 players qualified in a regular season? I guess they like to have a full cheering squad when they play their matches. I'm sure HTA likes collecting the yearly dues from that team.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yes, you could get 24 people qualified for the next round in 6 matches.

    That is a boatload of egos to manange though.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Sienna should have fielded two teams.

    ReplyDelete
  31. They did last year and had one really good team and one ok one.

    They should do a ladder/tryout to get two teams.

    In the end Dean is going to go with his "A" team in the tough matches and some of the guys won't ever get to play.

    At least they would get court time on a the "B" team.

    Probably too challenging with all of the egos involved.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hey Chris where does your team stack up in the 4.0 division?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Chris'es team is loaded and added a new player that is really good.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Well I'm on the same team as Chris so I'm actually handicapping them =)

    ReplyDelete
  35. From what I understand Towle and Tran have recruited heavily and will take Freeman's Hurricane Team down this season. Should be interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Not sure who made the last post, but our goal is to get to play on Sunday for the city playoffs and secure a spot in Dallas.

    No smack talking, no ill will as most the people on both teams know each other and play on other teams together.

    ReplyDelete
  37. The only recruiting I've done is for the local donut shop to supply us with snacks so that even if we lose it'll be a sweet night. Mmmmm do-nuts.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I just checked out the women's side. Holy Cow - Hollis' 4.5 team is stacked. They should roll to Nationals again. Might a three-peat for Hollis.

    ReplyDelete
  39. This is her year. She seems to go in odd years simply due to the dynasty rule that following going to nationals one year, no more than 3 players can play on the same team the following year (at the same level).

    Props to Hollis. Hope she represents HTown well.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Are you kidding me? Jo Keene, Kristen Samuelson, Dominique Glinzler, Kaye Williams - all former 5.0s. Not to mention Emma McDougall who just rolled in the Open Doubles Final.

    ReplyDelete
  41. It's a lot easier to recruit when you have a resume to showcase. Exhibits A, B, and C: Hollis, Benzon and Freeman.

    ReplyDelete
  42. 6 matches for 4.5 ladies league? Man that's rough. They should discount your league fee if you get that few of matches.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hollis makes league tennis look way to easy. At least in the Mens league matches they may have an upset. In womens 4.5 its a joke for Hollis and her former 5.5 and 5.0 players. Mcdougall winning Open doubles is a good example of the caliber of Hollis's team.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hollis should captain a men's team.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hollis's team could beat half the men's teams in 4.0's and the lower level 4.5 teams.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'm not a chauvanist by any means (ask my wife) but I believe it's more difficult for the women players to maintain a high level of play.

    ReplyDelete
  47. It may be a cake-walk locally but to have that level of success (going to Nationals 2 consecutive years - potentially a 3rd) just takes some darn good recruiting.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Don't hate the player hate the game. She is just good at finding talent.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Yeah Hollis always seems to have recent college players on her rosters when she puts it together. She will do well but she does find a way to put bad line ups out in key moments.

    ReplyDelete
  50. In response to Toole Its Love the Game and hate on the PLAYERS.

    Hollis is Good at Brainwashing the innocent to cheating the NTRP system !!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Making it to Nationals 2 consecutive years would beg to differ that she puts out bad lineups. Hmmmm - I'd like to have that record putting out bad lineups.

    If whoever posted that was referring to Nationals than all captains are bad at making lineups. Anyone who's been to Nationals knows it's a total crap shoot at that level because every team out there has the guns and the depth.

    ReplyDelete
  52. If you look at 2007 Betsie's team was 15-0 at playoffs and 15-5 at Sectionals. In 2005 she was 17-3 at Sectionals. That's some good lineup making. My guess is the trouble at Nationals is you don't know the teams as well as you do in Houston/Texas.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Which 4.5 men's teams would lose to Hollis' team?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Wow who cares about bad line ups. Looking at the record the last poster posted can you say that Hollis's Team is way out of level. I bet they could compete in 5.0's but would rather continue to Sandbag in the 4.5's. Whether Hollis admits to it or not she knows how to work the ratings for her players to stay 4.5.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Men's Schedules have been posted.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Looks like week 1 Freeman's 4.0 team and Sienna will clash swords to see who takes the early lead.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Wow. Thats a headline match right out of the box. Freeman's roster should not scare anyone right now.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Deucebags vs Hurricanes right off the bat as well.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Yes, but the only saving grace in that division is that they play 3 times.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Are all of these teams with like one player signed up going to make? It would suck for Deucebags and Hurricanes to get 3 defaults if Sugar Creek dies.

    ReplyDelete
  61. What's the strongest Hurricane line-up?

    ReplyDelete
  62. Line 1 Dibua
    Line 2 Dibua
    Line 3 Dibua/Dibua
    Line 4 Dibua/Dibua
    Line 5 Dibua/Dibua

    ReplyDelete
  63. Hurricane 5.0? Or Hurricane 4.5 team 1? Hurricane 4.5 team 2? Hurricane 4.0?

    ReplyDelete
  64. Chancellors v. Lakeside in week 1 and they only play once. One of these teams will be chasing Smokers after week 1.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Hurricane 5.0 is Stacked
    Hurricane 4.5 is Solid
    Hurricane 4.0 is Strong

    ReplyDelete
  66. Hasker can win for the Duecebags, where will they get their other 2 lines?

    ReplyDelete
  67. Singles:
    Hasker
    Morales

    Doubles:
    Dugas - Dugas
    Tran - Quach
    Bui - Diep

    ReplyDelete
  68. Quach is a borderline 4.0/4.5 and anyone on the Hurricane roster would wipe the floor with him. Dugas/Dugas could not beat the Hurricane scrubs like Li and Regent and Morton.

    Hasker would lose to either Dibua.

    Blowout city!!!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Got to see Quach play at the Coke, he's a total headcase with little game to back it up.

    ReplyDelete
  70. did you mean quach or quack. cuz quack is a head case. i see him whipping people off the courts and at times losing to people that he should have never lost to.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I predict the match between the deucebas and hurricanes will be a good one. Since they play 3 times during the Season why so much hype for this match? People on the Deucebags are fun guys but it seems like the Hurricanes have a deeper roster. Hasker will give Deucebags some strength in singles but in the Doubles Hurricanes are very deep. Should be a Good Match.

    ReplyDelete
  72. i think the deucebags vs hurricanes will be a great rivalry all season. can't wait to see the action. good luck to all levels and division next thursday!

    ReplyDelete
  73. It's only a Rivalry if Deucebags can compete with Hurricanes. Lots of competitive matches will happen but I could very well see Hurricanes beating Deucebags 4-1 every match.

    I'm more interested in seeing 4.0 match up between Hurricanes and Sienna.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Hurricane roster looks ordinary. Only a couple of unknowns and they were not great at the Gallery. The rest of the guys are solid but nothing great. Sienna should be favored.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Who does Sienna have that would even match up with the Hurricanes at the 4.0 level? How could they be favored?

    ReplyDelete
  76. Sienna was better than the Hurricanes last year but was unlucky. Hurricanes lost like 10 guys from that team to 4.5 and have nothing left.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Sienna lost a lot of players to 4.5 also.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Copperfield 4.0 men's will go undefeated this season.

    ReplyDelete
  79. can someone post the link to keep up with the 4.5 league standings?

    ReplyDelete
  80. What's the roster/depth look like by player for the 4.5 Hurricanes 2 team?

    ReplyDelete
  81. The Hurricane 4.5 2 team would make a decent 4.0 team. I'm not sure they are better than the current Hurricane 4.0 team.

    ReplyDelete
  82. How good is the Hurricanes 2? This is your answer Brian Goldberg is there best player.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Is that a compliment or was that not a compliment?
    BTW, it is spelled their, not there, you use that word when you are going somewhere.

    ReplyDelete
  84. lol... grammer class again.

    ReplyDelete
  85. grammaaaaaaaaaaaar

    ReplyDelete
  86. What's the best match up in league this week? 4.0 and 4.5?
