Westside

Ted Bradley has been the talk of the tournament at the 4.5 level.  Assuming Stale Berge plays and that their other new "ringer" is allowed to play, Bradley's emergence has probably put them squarely in the second slot and a favorite to earn a possible second berth at Sectionals.  Alzate and Lacy are two other solid guys that will make their lineup formidable.  

The Hurricanes still appear to be the favorites, but I still don't see the dominant number one singles guy that would move their team to another level.  Omon, Odion, Phoummarath and Green are all solid and using any two of them in a match would give them a very good shot at at least splitting the singles, but the other big teams will make a lot of those singles matchups at Sectionals coin-tosses.   Still, the rosters are still in their infancy as many teams wait until the last minute to spring their surprises.

  2. Come on G. That is it?

    What about how the divisions will play out? What is all of the stacked teams end up in the same flight? Then city will be a wolf in the chicken house with one strong team and several weak ones.

    I think the most important decisions about who goes to Dallas happen next week when the flights come out.....

  3. I think I remember hearing that the 4.5 playoffs will be round robin this year, so in that case the flights aren't quite as important as in 4.0, where the second best team can end up in the same flight as the top team and miss out on a wild card simply through bad luck.

  4. Bradley lost this morning to Trevino in the quarters. Looks like Sienna will have some fire power.
