OK, as has obviously been mentioned, the team is out of the race for the world cup. We'll enter the consolation tourney, but since we start it at 0-2, we'll need to basically win every game to make the finals of that.
But the consolation tourney isn't a big goal of mine. Obviously I'll still try to win, but the priority now is to set the team up for next season, so we can hopefully make the world cup then.
With that in mind, I'm going to be adding some young players, who are the future of the team over the coming weeks. These players will be given a chance to prove themselves for next season.
First cab off the rank, is Steve Pierce. Pierce is a 25 year old PG, who plies his trade with Black Label Society. Prior to joining the Society, Pierce was trained by the since botified Alderly Albatrosses, and prior to that, the Glenelg Tigers. As can probably be seen by his numbers in division 2 this season, Pierce probably isn't going to light up the stats sheet. But he'll add some much needed defensive toughness and teamwork to the team.
Welcome to Pierce!
I should note that I've been too lazy to do detailed writeups this season, and with the world cup gone, I'm less inclined to do MVP votes etc. But I'll try get back to doing a short writeup each week.
First up, we play the Bahamas. If we lose that, something is wrong.
