Hey guys!
The work continues. We are bringing back, for its seventh year, #TheSeason. We didn’t do these first year, but have ever since. It’s something nobody else does. We compile all season records and write a wrapup for each team. To get them completed more quickly, we are summarizing these a bit more than in seasons past.
Today, we’re rolling through Round 6 with Atlantic Coast. This is the fifth of what will be seven teams in this shortened round.
