A DIV III Top 10

Hey Gunner - keep up the great work

DIVISION III.9

The Big 8 conference and really the whole DIV III.9 is all about 2 teams that have seen better days if not greater heights.
Serenity Now is almost Canadian Buzzerbeater royalty.
Around since season 2, their rich history includes 9 consecutive seasons in the vaunted Naismith...Recently however, not so much, with a 2nd season in Division III now in the past three seasons.
The Rugrats haven't fallen as far but still, a second season in Div III after 4 straight a level up has their fans uneasy.

These are 2 of the strongest units in Canada at this level.
Serenty Now rolls our perhaps the best starting 5 with a 1-2 punch tough to beat in back court mates Rotislav Suetin and Miguel Cruz.
The Rugrats also run out one of the top starting 5 at this level in the country, but right now, sadly, not even the best in their own conference.
A lot will depend on how these 2 clubs are run between now and playoff time.

Over in the Great 8...Everyone's lucky they're not in the Big 8.
The hall of famers seem ready for a run at the final with a solid if unspectacular starting 5, hoping a 5th season at this level is the one that leads them up.
The Canadian Swamplands show promise and should give the hall of famers a run for their money with Pangaa needing some tweaking to make it a 3 team party.

DIVISION III.10

With the perfection of Spider Wasp gone, Moth Ball drop down from Div II to take their place in the Big 8 but they din't bring the conference's best starting line up with them.
That honour goes to LeOPIG, led by Saudi Aradian C Ali Abu-Aziz.
Say this though about Moth Balls, Don Cherry could have put this unit together.
12 players, 12 Canadians...But there's work to do here.
Real Yella troops out the league's best player in Canadian PG Cory Landini but his salary has forced this team to be a 1 man gang.
With some work Fresh Off The Boat looks like a future contender.

Best team in the league though appears to be the Centennial Chargers led by American PG Tyrone Wall and Spanish C Marzal Velasco.
Father Bressani Eagles are not that far behind and could close the gap as twin tower 21 year old big men Sandro Pombo and Ralfs Jucis continue to improve.
Keeping an eye on the Southgate Gators would also be a good idea.

good memories in III.1
The contenders remains relatively the same. I'm cheering for you guys!

DIVISION III.11

Plenty of choices in this multi-talented league.
Start with the heart broken Squares who dropped a 3 set final to last year's promoting champs the Soul Crushers.
They'll have to do battle with a pair of worthy conference opponents in MaltonHG and TAKE YOU DOWN.
Both the Squares and MaltonHG run out solid 5 men units while TYD might need to add on to compete.

Meanwhile over in the Great 8:
A wonderful 2 team battle should rage all season long.
Few teams are as deep as the golden phantoms, they could probably compete in some DIV III conferences with just their bench....but it won't be easy...

-Toronto-raptors- throw out an even better starting line-up led by the best 1-2 punch in III.11 with Center Guillermo Parra and SG Khoa Nguyên backed by 23 year old Canadian PG Clive Adams.

thanks for the shoutout! you're doing a great job with these right ups

DIVISION III.12

The Laval Giants may be the defending Big 8 champ and the hopeful after losing in last season's final but right now they don't have the conferences best team.
That belongs to the Crash Test Dummies, however the same could have been said last season.
The answer as to why 2 of their best players were transfered before last seasons playoffs remains a mystery.
Right now the duo of SG Siegrich Scholler, C Jukka Niemimuukku and supporting cast look strong enough to win.
4Minute put out a winning squad with a chance while East Side Rangers compete as well.

Over in the Great 8:
The Georgetown Hoyas look to head right back to DIV II.
They send out a mostly Canuck starting line up led by SG Jean-Yves Desroches.
Grand Raptor is ready to go toe to toe with them with a solid roster of starters and a bench to match.
Tsa 'aq can't be discounted but right now they consist of a big 3 in need of some help.

DIVISION III.13

There's not a top 100 Canadian team in the league so you would have to think this one is wide open.

Emo Squad knows all about Div III, they were here for 7 seasons before their lone season in D II, but they're back now and they will have to do more.
C-Bridge Ballers are the best team in the Big 8 right now led by
Canadian SF Robert Blake, but the Ballers are thin.
A 7 man roster can't possibly hold up to the riggers of a 22 game regular season and potential Cup run and players are looking to management for help.
Not like the Ballers don't know their way around Div II, they spent 4 seasons there before coming back here for season 18.

Raiders12 are the best of a weak Great 8.
There's not even a great player amongst the contenders.
The Squalor Super Sonics will be in the running but the sleeper here is GBCI, up after coming back from Div IV, they are not far off from the Raiders12 and a tweak here or there could be golden.
