You had Division I 20-something kids playing on your otherwise average 4.5 team. I don't care what rating they came in with or what rating the computer gave them, it's not right and YOU know it. <br /><br />Congrats!!!

I didn't rate them. They had already played 4.5 for a few years and both had improved drastically since coming into the league. That's why they are both at 5.0 now, and may be 5.5 by next season. Any team that wants to be competitive in summer USTA just learns to work within the system. Sit on the sidelines... As my buddy, David Hall put it in a thread last year, "I rather be playing a competitive match and get my butt whipped by these youngsters than sitting on the sidelines. Come on guys... Put your helmets on, pull your jocks... and get into the game.

They have a lot of talent, and a lot of depth.<br />-And they are seasoned Captains. There are some other interesting teams to watch though. Kingwood Crush is totally re-vamped, but Hai, Chantz, and Phi have put together a solid roster. Westside's BS Team will get stronger as the season goes on. Sugar Creek may be a sleeper if Douds can add another talented player or two. -And Alain Train's Team has improved quite a bit too. It's too bad that the Hurricanes, Deucebags, and Titans are all in the same division, because all 3 are talented enough to be playing in the City Playoffs. Prediction: Hurricanes win it all and go to Dallas. Hurricanes are probably one ringer away from going to Nationals,and I think they can do it.

Adrian Hasker was one that turned 19 last year and started playing. Andre has some big shots, but most kids his age still lack the mental toughness that you guys have. Last time I checked, Tennis was still a competitive sport. If you can't hang or don't want to compete, then don't sign up, especially in the summer when all teams load up. USTA Summer League Tennis has the same issues at every level, not just 4.5...
