DISTRICT PREVIEW: NEW ENGLAND NORTH

We are going to be checking out all of the districts. This preview covers The New England North in the All-American Conference. Just in case you didn’t check out the Season Brawl, here’s how this works:

FAVORITES: One of the teams I think will win the district and should be a lock to place in the Top 4 and make the playoffs.
LEGITIMATE THREAT: Could win the District. Should be in the running to make the playoffs.
CONTENDERS: They could stick around for a while, but certain unexpected things need to swing their way for them to win
DARK HORSE: They COULD win, but A LOT of things need to swing their way – like blizzards stopping all of the other teams to get to the alley.

Ok so I tease and kid about this District (Yes, I have gone 10,000-1 here). The truth of the matter is that some of these teams have made their mark in the UBA and a team here at full strength can do some massive damage in the UBA Playoffs. But who could those teams be? Let’s take a look…

FAVORITES
CHYNA SYNDROME: They came in first last season and were poised to make a run until you know what happened. What happens with a season of them being healthy?

RELOADED: Raging Bulls 2.0. And yes I made them 10,000 to 1 odds partly because I knew they did not have their A Squad travelling to Delaware. BUT they aren’t going to be using that excuse now – and all of the teams in that district won’t be having any excuses when they get run over by them.

AUBURN MAULERS: It finally looked like they put it all together last season. Is this the season that they make that run?

LEGITIMATE THREAT
M.O.P. NATION MILITIA You can’t have a Joey Nereu team here and them not being part of the conversation. the 4th spot, right now, is there’s to take. That being said, we all know he wants more than just a fourth placed playoff spot.

CONTENDERS
PHOENIX: They had a nice run last season but fell short. The schedule was also against them – they could have made a run if they had the rest of the schedule to play with. What will happen now that they get a full slate?

EXCALIBUR: Time for a team to make some moves. Can this be the time the knights have all of their blades in check?

MILL CITY MAYHEM: Like Phoenix, the rest of the calendar would have been some help for them. Can they get done this season what they didn’t get done last season?

DARK HORSE
None? Maybe I’m being nice. Or Maybe there aren’t any real bottom feeders in the NE North. Yet. Until some teams deserve that they belong there.
