once again joe frager shows that he is really a good coach. he took a youthful team to a 3rd place finish including navigating his way thru a very difficult O/O/C schedule. Kudos to joe!

[FU73]

With the very difficult OOC Schedule, this team started the season at (2-10)(1-2) and should finish the regular season on Saturday at (14-15)(13-7). That would be (12-5) since January 4.

The semifinal games are on Sunday, not Saturday.

73, it is a change from the old format, that I don't like. A play in team no longer has to win 4 games in 4 days. Win 2, get a day off, win another 2. Still a tall order, but no where near as bad.
