I'm still not motivated but apparently some want to see their team name in print so I am now giving a 40 breakdown. I'm not doing a 3.5 breakdown. Maybe Captain Fantastic will be happy to do it but don't ask me.
If the light blog chatter is correct, I guess High Point/Le is the clear favorite. Looking through the rosters, I have to agree. I don't think they are as unstoppable as the blog chatter but a team with a roster deep enough to go deep at sectionals and a few pieces might go deep at nationals.
Flight A: This flight is down right bad. I guess CoreDawg must have got cozy with the DTA as his team has the QT wildcard but I don't think he will need it. I can't even pick a second place team. I would go with Greenhill but I am pretty sure this is the second team. Instead, I am going with the Village to emerge to QT.
Flight B: This is High Point's to win. They have a deep roster of 4.5 bump downs with Kemp, DeLaPaz, Le, Arcaria, Newman, Voss, Alarid and Wilson. This team is clearly stacked and should be working in sectionals lineups right now. Second place has some decent teams as possibilities. Springpark is my pick to finish second. Greenhill is also right there too. This apears to be Greenhill's better team. As long as High Point loads up against these two, they shouldn't have much trouble.
Flight C: This is between McKinney and Brookhaven. I am done picking Brookhaven as they always find ways to lose. Therefore, McKinney gets this by default. This flight is on par with Flight A for mediocre.
Flight D: This is a fairly strong flight. You have Fretz, Oak Creek, TBar and Garland. I am taking a surprise pick and going with Oak Creek to win this flight and Fretz to get the trip to QT. Garland could get there too but that is a small roster and only a few usual names. The GTC Mafia has been broken up.
In the end, I like High Point to run away with everything and let Houston stay at home this fall.
I hope I was able to pick whoever wanted to see their team so bad. If not, prove me wrong and I will make you famous.
As a member of the unstoppable Le team, I want to thank you Murry for putting our names out there again. It's hard enough to keep pumping ourselves up on this blog, thanks again for the publicity!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so annoying.
DeleteYou are not on our team. Why don't you just beat us and shut us up.
DeleteYou've all been beaten before. May not be by me but you won't get past sectionals.
DeleteGot beat a whole lot last year.
DeleteA Hurricane from the Gulf coast will be coming soon to a tennis center near you...
DeleteWhat happens if the entire team tanks to get to 4.0 and you don't win.
ReplyDeleteIt is a ritual around here. It happens in early August every year. Takes another year but the tankers get down.
DeleteWe want 3.5 as well, you have plenty of time as the rain will be on its way, do it and quit crying
ReplyDeleteFretz Clark wins
DeleteCongrats, that's just the kind of bitching that guarantees that it won't be done
DeleteAll this yapping from teams that haven't even played their first match yet is embarrassing
ReplyDeleteWhen I read this yapping, anything less than a National Championship will have to be a disappointment for these egos. Since they have ben playing for years, I am shocked they haven't won one already.
ReplyDeletegetting to Nationals not that easy. I think that's what makes what Springpark and kelley has done so remarkable. Looks like they are headed there yet again.
DeleteHouston has better 4.5 (5.0?) bumpdowns than any Dallas team.
ReplyDeletewho cares about these guys that get bumped down. they lost before they'll lose again. it's all about the self rates. who has them?
ReplyDeleteI'm not seeing any self rates. I'm just seeing the same names.
DeleteCan Houston compete in 4.0 this year with us?
DeleteExactly, we don't need to keep up with the Jones. We are the Jones.
DeleteWho are the bumpdowns for houston at 4.5 level?
ReplyDeleteWithout looking, probably everyone of Freeman's players that are not self rates.
DeleteZackery not playing?
ReplyDeleteBeinart is on the Houston team. It will be loud at Sectionals.
DeleteWho is Zackery?
DeleteTop 4.0 in Dallas!!
DeleteJust ask him!!
DeleteSurprise he not on Tony Le team.
DeleteHe probably will be.
DeleteTony be crazy not take him.
DeleteTony does not need him. He is a good 4.0 but he will get destroyed in a big match by anyone with pace.
DeleteIf zackery top 4.0 in Dallas then we are in big trouble in the state. I would think Houston would be licking their chops to put one of there guys against him.
DeleteWho Tony have on his roster beat him?
DeleteI know he at least top 8 on Tony Le team..
DeleteI heard Ryan Harrison is not top 8 on Tony's team.
DeleteYes Mike, we are aware you want on our team.
DeleteNot sure who is Zackery, but Le's not that good. Already beat him in singles.
DeleteHey Tony the man!!
DeleteHe thinks he's the 4.0 Mike Kelly. But if you need a win at 4.0, he's got a good shot. But if your team has already won, he tends to make a lot of mistakes at the end and gets beat.
ReplyDeleteYes he that guy!!
DeleteTo mention him and Kelly in same sentence is a joke. Kelley dominated when trying. Zackary not so much
DeleteZackery no Kelly but who is?
DeleteHouston area players dominated the 4.0 level at last weekend's large tourney in Houston. Not many Dallas guys made the trek down there, but plenty of San Antonio and Austin players did. Houston has a large contingent of good 4.0 Asian players.

please give us a 3.5 break down, come on, puuuuuulllllllleeeeeeeaseeee
Group a: JCC
DeleteGroup b: fretz
Group c: greenhill
Fretz wins cities and it's probably not even close. Decent shot at going to nationals.
Like the 5-0 Fretz match yesterday.
DeleteWho cares about 3.5?
ReplyDeleteFollow the players. Is it that hard to figure out. The best 4.0s played 40s for Fretz, now the best players are playing 18s for High Point.

DeleteYou must have a sad life that all you worry about is who you think is tanking. Maybe you should work on your game some more and worry less about others.
