Johnp2 21 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 So as I am beginning to assemble my team for the Spring season, the stars have aligned in my favor. ;-) Last season we were mainly 8-9 year olds playing in a 10-12 league(my son turned 10 before the season and I kept my team in tact). We definitely held our own and finished 5th out of 12 teams. I personally had a "three year plan" for my team...meaning I expected us to win the Championship by our third season in the league, but now I feel we are way ahead of schedule.My roster this season is going to be my first "all-star" team. During the years I've lost a lot of my best players to tackle, but FIVE of my all-time greatest players will be re-joining our team this season--taking a "break" from tackle!!This will be the first time I've had these five players on the team at the same time, so this season is really a "whose who" of my greatest players. Couple this with the fact the true warriors who overcame all the odds last season will be back, and I really think we will make a run at the championship this season. Of course our oldest players are still only 10 in this league so we will definitely still be the youngest team by far, but I see no reason we should not be a solid contender this season. At our end of season party last season, I borrowed from Bum Phillips stating this season we knocked on the door, next season we will beat on it, and the season after that we will kick the (well, you know) in. ;-) I suppose this season we might just beat on it hard enough to knock it over!My most important task right now is to fit the pieces together. I've never had this much talent, so am simply salivating at how I am going to design our offensive units. ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
