A pretty typical week 1. Some shocking results, some teams looking just as good as advertised, some HUGE performances, some fresh faces emerging, some questions answered, and some questions still open. The big question right now is “Who won between Ava and Strafford?” Usually we’d be pretty set on this point but multiple sources are reporting the score different ways. The score was 35-28.

After breaking a 14 year losing streak to Camdenton last year, they put a huge crimp in the Lakers playoff fortunes by starting their own winning streak in the series. I won’t point out teams that have changed for the worse. I’m sure you can come up with those on your own.

I’m back from Memphis and the barbeque was great. I called an audible and went to Central BBQ instead of Rendevous. The BBQ was was great, the macaroni and cheese is the best ever, and the culinary perfection that is the chips and cheese appetizer must be experienced to be understood.
