Its The Final Countdown!

The wait is over! It is time to find out who will become this season's King of Kickball. The remaining 14 teams will now be contending for the southwest's most prestigious kickball award. Which team will have what it takes?

#14 - Balls of Fury - The Balls of Fury finished 2nd in the WreCk Division with an overall 6-1-1 record. Considering they play in the lowest skilled division, they're defense plays relatively well. Not sure how they will fare against tougher competition, but my gut tells me they won't do well. In addition, they will be taking an a much more skilled and experience team, namely Kixxx. They will undoubtedly be making a quick exit from post-season. However this experience should better prepare them for a jump in division next season.

#13 - Suck My Kick - A true rookie team, this squad finished with an overall 6-2-0 record inside the WrEck Division. They were able to squeak by Balls of Fury with a better divisional record which gave them Division Champ honors. However when all is said and down, Suck My Kick will also fall victim to much better, more experienced and better skilled teams. Their first opponents will be the "once mighty Shockers", who although struggling within the Mountain Star group, will still make quick work of Suck My Kick.

#12 - Balls & Dolls / Suisliders - The #12 seed is still up for grabs. The Balls & Dolls of the Mountain Star Division will be playing against the Suilsiders of the Sunrise Division. The Balls & Dolls finished the season with an overall 3-5 record. Having to play against tough opponents week after week has really exposed the Bs&Ds strength as a team overall. However they should be able to cruise by the Suisliders with ease. The Suisliders are by FAR by favorite team. These cats never give up and always push to get better. They finished the season with a 1-7 record; however just about all of their games were close enough to go either way. They could have easily ended with an even 4-4 record. Regardless, in the end, the Balls & Dolls will be the ones to move on.

#11 - One More Shot - They nearly missed having to play in and a last minute forfeit boosted their record to a nifty 3-5 record. It's hard to gauge One More Shot, they completed flew under the radar this season. Which means your guess is as good as mine. They have #6 New Kicks on the Block for their 1st round match-up.

#10 - Chilez Y Chilindrinas - After competing in the summer Turf War season, this kickball squad decided to try for the King of Kickball crown. They had a head start, experience wise, coming into the King of Kickball regular season. They finished their season with an 3-5 overall record, but they were able to go even in their divisional record with a 3-3 mark. They have the pieces to win, now it's all a matter of putting them in the right spot. It will be interesting to see how they do in their first post-season play.

# 9 - Billy Bad Asses - By far one of the best teams coming out of the Sunrise Division. They came into this trying to repeat the highly successful season they had earlier this year. However it is difficult to capture lightening in a bottle twice, especially in the same year. Unfortunately they took a small dip to finish off their season and are currently riding a 2 game losing streak, but look for them to turn that around in their 1st round match-up.

#8 - Drippin' Wet Posse - First of all, give them props for the most creative team name this season. If you're gonna go vulgar, at least be creative about it and they have done that for sure. They closed the season with an overall 4-4 record and some how rocketed themselves into 2nd place within the Sunrise Division. Riding a bit of momentum they may make some noise this post-season, but they will have to get past a very good Billy Bad Ass team to do it.
