As the regular season has ended we embark on the first ever playoffs of 2015. And its looking a little like the winter of 2014 as the top dog is still at the top.
Here's the final Regular Season LIGA rankings (Thursday):
(1) ID HIT THAT 22-2 HIT THAT continued to dominate this season, almost flirting with perfection. Can they continue to cruise, or will they be tested in their chance to win back to back championships? They have played with a flair, a coolness that sometimes gets to their opposition. But the fact remains, they are the champs, and seem to be relishing it.
(2) HOME SCHOOLERS 16-8 Despite the last week, the SCHOOLERS amassed the best season in their tenure in the LIGA; Last season they got to the LIGA 4, losing in the semis; this season can they continue and get back to the LIGA 4?
(3) CONSISTENT CHAOS 15-9 CC started slow (0-6) then finished the season as the hottest team in the LIGA; they flew up the ladder and now sit in prime position to challenge for a LIGA title. Can they keep up great play?
(4) ID HIT THAT TOO 14-10 HIT THAT TOO was streaking until final week, which cost them a spot, but they have all the tools to get back to LIGA championships. They can be dominant at times, if theyre clicking on all cylinders.
(5) SERVING UP A BUZZ 11-13 SUAB finished the season on a bad note, dropping down the LIGA a few slots, and into the proverbial 4vs5 classic matchup. With championship experience on the team and a angry one at that, look for a focused SUAB squad this week
(6) SHANKAPOTOMOUS 10-14 SHANKA got a much needed series win last week, and are one of those teams that if they play really well, it could be a long night for the opponent. However, key injuries, and inconsistencies have hurt the squad. which SHANKA team will be on hand?
(7) CHILL N SERVE 7-18 CNS played well last week, with a series win; They will need to play with that intensity to have a shot into the LIGA 4. They have a tough squad, but can they come up with the big plays against a tough opponent to get those crucial points? We shall see. One things for sure; CNS will be ready to play.
(8) NOTHIN BUT NET 1-23 Unbelieveably, NBN got a big W on the last game of their season, so they're going into the tourney on a winning streak - sort of. We haven't had a 8 seed beat a 1 seed in the LIGA 6 year history, but rest assured NBN will be fired up after last weeks big win.
Here's the 1st round matchups:
(1) ID HIT THAT vs (8) NOTHIN BUT NET (6pm)
Can ID HIT THAT continue its rapid climb towards greatness? Or will NET pull off the biggest upset in LIGA history?
(2) HOME SCHOOLERS vs (7) CHILL N SERVE (6:45 pm)
Can the SCHOOLERS continue its magical season? Or will CNS put a chill on the SCHOOLERS? CNS has looked dominant at times, average others; can they outwork the SCHOOLERS, who seem to be on a upward trend?
(3) CONSISTENT CHAOS vs (6) SHANKAPOTOMOUS (7:30pm)
In what will be a battle, can CC continue its hot play? Or will SHANKAPOTOMOUS get back to the LIGA 4, where they have been for 2 consecutive seasons? CHAOS has been lights out, and seem to be hitting on all cylinders.
(4) ID HIT THAT TOO vs (5) SERVING UP A BUZZ (8:15pm)
In what will be the Game of the week, can HIT THAT TOO defeat a SUAB squad who has lost a little momentum? HIT THAT TOO lost its last series as well, so which team will be ready to move to LIGA 4 and get back on winning track?
NOTE: We will be looking to do a quads or 6's Short Spring League (depending on interest). We will be hoping for a yes or no on Thursday when we ask you. The league will go for a month, starting March 19th, and Ending in Mid April. We know that most of you play sand volleyball, so we will try to accommodate you if we can.
