As the AABL 2008 Season continues to press ahead, teams are finding their identity and discovering where they stand in the league. With plenty of personnel moves made during the offseason, it is evident that players and teams are still getting accustomed to their new squads. Quiet Storm, Squires, and Raptors are already in mid-season form as all three are the only remaining undefeated teams going into Week 4. The Blazers and Forwarders both grinded out tough yet encouraging wins to keep their season hopes high. The Bulldogs and the Wolves take a positive step as they earn their first wins of the season. After great games in Week 3, expect some big time action for the remainder of the season.

Although the entire league has a Bye Week this Sunday, the AABL is still in action on Fil-Am TV!

Although most of the games in Week 2 were blowouts, there were plenty of action-packed moments. While some teams are still trying to iron out there gameplan, others are already playing with playoff confidence. Prodigies have definitely put their name on the AABL map with an exciting brand of up-tempo, high-flying basketball-- all while playing with great poise and teamwork. Not bad for a team whose average age is about 18 years old. Another team which opened eyes in Week 2 was Venom which battled it out with a formidable Bulldogs squad. Venom proved that they can do-it-all, and in this game they especially highlighted their ability to shoot the three-ball. Quiet Storm, Raptors, Squires, and DOC all had relatively smooth days as they all seemed to easily beat up on their opponents. The Blazers have gained some new found confidence as they crushed a Warriors team which lost a close game to a tough Raptors team.

Hey Everyone, I wanted to make a brief announcement about a new part of the AABL League Website: Team Home Pages. The Team Pages should be completed this week, as we head into the off-week it'll give me time to input all the team info. Each AABL Team will have their own Team Home Page. The preview above is example of the design, but expect more changes and additions. Each Team page will feature its own News & Announcement Blog, and Team Stats. Team Coaches will be able to login (after we setup coach accounts), and post Team News, Updates, etc. Every member of the AABL Website can also respond to these posts via the comments feature as usual. Trash talk is encouraged.. but lets keep it clean folks.

Due to the less than perfect condition of the gym floor at Azalea Garden Middle School, we have requested repair work to be done.  Unfortunately, for them to complete the repairs and refinishing it will take weekend work, so that no occupants are in the building for 36-48 hours.  This runs too close to the time we would be using the gym, so instead of risking a sticky floor and chemicals in the air we have decided to push the season back.

Last Sunday's opening games got the AABL 2008 Season off to a sizzling start.  The First Week of the season is renowned for sloppy play and poor chemistry, but many teams performed impressively and it was evident that players have been balling hard in the off-season.   Young, new talent stepped up and proved they aren't scared.  And some old school NAABL players and squads copped a roster facelift  in the hopes of getting ahead (or just keeping up) with the rest of the competition.  The new season got off to a great start for some but a little bumpy for others.  Just remember it's not how you start a season but how you finish it. 

We are in the process of entering the team rosters into the database and the scores, stats, recaps, standings, and pictures for Week 1.  Thanks for your patience!
