Should Brookhaven lose, Sam Grand, Brookhaven and Village will all be dueling it out with 2 losses each. However, Village still has to face Oak Creek which will most likely give them loss # 3 and take them out of the picture.Captain Fantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653681119840244589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-60994717677203249222009-10-27T23:17:23.764-05:002009-10-27T23:17:23.764-05:00Looks like people are learning from Sisk to tank t...Looks like people are learning from Sisk to tank the fall.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-27934277211033991212009-10-27T21:18:14.651-05:002009-10-27T21:18:14.651-05:00nice to see oleg and jones didn't partake in t...nice to see oleg and jones didn't partake in that bull crapAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6372029287243637381.post-60556985313066309462009-10-27T20:50:01.429-05:002009-10-27T20:50:01.429-05:00After all of Huffhines 4.0 players are rerated to ...After all of Huffhines 4.0 players are rerated to 3.5 they will have as strong of a team as Garland in the Spring.
