The Huntley Red Raiders are in P407 this week. I don't recall facing many of the other teams in the league before, but I recognize many names from others' league reports over the past few weeks. This should be an interesting and challenging league.
Each division in the AC has a team that has won a Perfect League championship. In the AC East, it's the
Flatbush Dukes, who won Iron, Bronze, and Silver championships in their first 3 years in PT 2.0 and have added 2 Perfect League championships over the ensuing years. The division also boasts 2 Diamond champs, the Papillion Raptors and Burlington Bisons.
The AC Central features the most decorated team in the entire league, the 5-time Perfect League (and Iron, Silver, Gold, and Diamond) champs
Colorado Lions. Two other teams in the division have won Diamond championships: the Holy City Saints and Bothell Bombers. Finally, the Seattle Mediocrity have won Bronze and Gold championships, so my unsolicited advice is to upgrade to a more self-confident team name!
The beasts of the AC West are the
Broomfield Bigfoots, with one Diamond and one Perfect League championship under their belts. The Detroit Dreamers have also won a Diamond championship, and former Silver champs Dual Space Annihilators are off to a good start; they've struggled but survived in Perfect, finishing below .500 but never demoted over the past 8 seasons. Here's hoping they break through this week!
Your 4-time Perfect League champs (and 3-time Perfect League runner-ups <shakes fist at La Crosse, Singapore, and RealMadrid>)
Huntley Red Raiders are in the NC West, along with 3-time Perfect League champs (2 in a row, in fact!)
H.B. Cube. The other 3 division members have only one championship at any level among them (a Silver for the South End Tuskers), but they are defending their home turfs well early in the season; Huntley is only 4-6 on the road against the Cooperstown Classics, New York Boroughs, and Tuskers so far this season.
No team in the AC Central has won a Perfect League championship, but all 5 teams have won a Diamond League championship! The DDingu Eagles are off to a fantastic start, but the Tacoma Defiance, Memphis Thieves, New York Subway, and Portland Stumps should not be counted out.
Finally, the NC East boasts the 3-time Perfect League champions (twice in the past 3 seasons!)
Jersey Revolutionize, who are off to a ridiculous 17-2 start that has already given them an enormous, um, wait, only a half-game lead over the 16-2 (and 2-time Gold champs) Chiswick Big Wigs, who are currently on an 11-game winning streak. No other teams in that division have won a title at any level; here's hoping Chiswick can keep it up and make things interesting in the NC East.
Good luck to all in P407!
