Well, sir,perhaps you didn't understand my last post. I think they will be force to be reckoned with in the Big 9. Playing in the Arby's will give them the experience of playing against very, very outstanding teams. I think Coach Burns brings in top notch teams from outside which is a real treat. I'm just positive about the Pats this year. Obviously you disagree.

Well im willing to beat that East WILL go farther than THS. They are one of the few local teams that has a real chance in winning their first game. East is better than what most you think. Tabernacle will not be able to stop Snapp, Faver, Banres, Deeb, or Cross

Tabernacle is consistently the weakest team that is invited. They may have one stand out player but they never have a full team. Jus wait you will all see. Be there early its the first game.

To say the least, every local team has their hands full with their first round opponents. Let's not just focus on Sullivan East. What are other local schools chances of advancing in round one?

Again, let's not focus on the Sullivan East hiatus. There are other local teams to discuss.

Is this the same team from Los Angeles that East lost to by 2 points a few years back? I think they missed a layup at the buzzer to tie. I think all of the local teams will struggle in this years tourney. Maybe 1 will get a first round win. Maybe!!
