There is always next year.

Well It's done. Not officially, but done none the less. See there is this little matter of a make-up match against the 1-24 Winchester team. But we won't worry about that.

Finishing up the Season this week we were able to take 4 out of 5 from a Lynnfield team that looked like they had already packed it in for the season. Defaulting positions 4 and 5 they had a tough task ahead of them trying to sweep our top 3 positions. Which they couldn't do. They loaded up their 1st position and won a close match in 1 against Jason and Courtney. Thus ending their season high, 3 match Win Streak. Then over on 2 they tried again and almost pulled out another improbable win. But Tony and Don pulled out a dramatic Match tie-break in overtime to finish up their season with a win. On 3 Lynnfield tried once more to get one last victory in their season. But they really had no chance against Dean and George.

With this weeks win our season totals are pretty much set. We will finish in 5th place!!! With only 25 of 26 matches played we own 5th. Our season Match wins are 17-8... Better than 2 to 1, and our individual matches put us at 72-53. Not to shabby, we will finish with 90 points and after taking into account the 6 points we won't get for the 26th match we will only miss the playoffs by about 4-5 points.

This season was a Tale of Two Halves.. In the First half we had set teams almost every week and everyone was available to play. We rolled through a 10 week win streak and put ourselves in 2nd place, 1 point behind 1st at the Break.

We should've made the playoffs but then the 2nd half was Brutal. We lost a bunch of key players in the 2nd half. The Schedule did not help us out any either. It seemed that every week was an away match that was 100 miles away. Set teams weren't able to play together and New players were thrown into the fire without any opportunity to practice with us.

Thanks to Everyone who Played and Helped out this year. It was a long season and now we can relax play outdoors and not have to drive to Winchester and Lexington for another year!!
Like the Red Sox of Old... "We'll get em next year"

Oh Yeah!

Congrats to whomever picked us finishing outside the top 4 in the poll to the right... The rest of us, who incandescently picked us making the playoffs. Will be waiting for you by the Dumpster to give you your Prize.
