We are going from worst to first.

Last year, we couldn't even field a team consistently, and when we did, we had to have a 300lb high priest who doesn't know how to play to get 5 players on the court. When you have 3 guys on the floor who can't dribble, it's hard to win.

This year we have 7 guys who know how to play ball. Know how to pass, shoot, play good zone D, rebound, etc. We are a team that you cannot play zone against. The 3 is our game. Last night was the meeting of the undefeateds, both of us 2-0. We shredded them by over 20.

The last time we were stake champions was about 3 years ago. Good team that year, and faced stronger competition. But we got shredded in the regionals. I suspect that will happen again this time. The best teams in the suburbs are tough, probably facing a team with multiple ex-college players.
