The Thunderdome

With SCK's new divisional format, no longer will the league's best teams be separated from each other. Instead the best 7 teams will be thrown into a cage and forced to battle each other week after week. No longer will the best teams have to wait until the playoffs to face each other. Instead Modesto 2 will be the stage for marque match-ups each and every week. It should be a site to see.

Even before the last out was recorded this past Wednesday, teams were already getting pumped up for the much anticipated divisional games next week. The schedule is packed with very exciting match-ups, which even at this early stage is creating a good amount of kickball buzz.

Balls & Dolls vs Kixxx should be an excellent match-up. Both teams won their 2 non-division games so both teams are riding a little bit of winning momentum. Also both teams are rolling with good offensive weapons. Scoring hasn't been a problem for either squad. However when it comes to defense, Kixxx has the edge in this category. The Balls & Dolls will quite possibly struggle on the defensive side of the ball, which means their offense is going to have carry a majority of the work load. Putting up copious amounts of runs may be the only way the Bs&Ds will be able to hold out against Kixxx. Kixxx should be able to score a healthy amount of runs, the Bs&Ds will just have to answer back with 2 runs for every 1 run that Kixxx puts up to out last them. However after all is said and done, Kixxx seems to have the edge in this match-up.

I'd Hit It will have a huge opportunity to silence their critics when they face the big time Kickin' N' Screamin' championship squad this coming Wednesday. Unfortunately that will be a fairly tall order for team I'd Hit It. In this match-up, KNS has the advantage in just about every category. Offense, defense, experience, you name it, they got it. I'm not sure what gameplan I'd Hit It has to handle KNS, but it better be a good one. There is no escaping Kickin' N' Screamin' , chalk this one up as a win for them.

Shockers, Shockers, Shockers...The once Mighty Shockers will be taking on an old rival when they face the Drunken Monkeyz this coming Wednesday night. The former league villains, Shockers, are struggling to stay relevant in the league. While the Drunken Monkeyz, aka The Machine, still strike fear into the hearts kickballers everywhere. The Monkeyz are arguably the better team in this match-up. However if you ask Coach Anthony  Tuialuuluu, he will give you a different assessment. Coach T was quoted as saying, "The Monkeyz will bow down!! All I need is 11 Shockers and a lil confidence." Its encouraging to see the Shocker's coach so confident, but this is border line delusional. Look for the Monkeyz to walk away with this one.       

Be at Modesto 2 this week, don't miss these games.
