Nephites Bounce Back in a BIG way

The Nephites were joked to be the "team to beat around" instead of the "team to beat." They had not come closer than 13 points in their first two game, so many didn't even hesitate when asked who would win between the Pioneers and the Nephites. The Pioneers beat the Flaming Swords, and played respectable in a loss to the Iron Rods. They looked like the better team coming into the game. Little did anyone know, the Nephites would shock everyone in the league! The Nephites had arguably one of the best performances of any team so far! The Nephites built a 20-5 lead in the first quarter and a half of play. That lead would only get bigger by the end of the game (59-39). The Nephites played with a chip on their shoulder the entire night, and dominated every facet of the game!

It would be amazing if the Nephites somehow turned their season around. I guess only time will tell.

Hey Jason, It's great to see the update. Man the Angels are the team to watch this year. Almost all of their games have been close. The Missionaries and the Liahonas are looking like the two best teams so far, but the Saints, Angels, and Iron Rods aren't too bad either. Both the Liahonas and the Missionaries are on 4 game winning streaks. I would rank the Liahonas #1 so far because they beat the Missionaries in their first game of the season.
I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog yet. I've been so busy with school. This weekend should be a little more light as far as homework goes so I should be able to fit some games in.
Anyway, back to the season. I think my favorite 3 teams right now are the Angels, Saints, and the Nephites. I like the close games of the Angels. I like the great defense of the Saints even though they played against bad teams. The Angels have been the only team so far to score a lot against them. I like the Nephites because they have heart. I think they may have what it takes to turn the season around. They have to have their scorers firing on all cilinders or else they are done for.
Anyway, regarding all the teams in the league, insomuch as they keep the rules of the game, they shall proper in the Standings. Which teams will "go and do" and which teams will be bundled with the tares and cast into the fire?
