I was hoping we would make it. A little disappointed to see that Nairobi is the second Lion team to make it after all the hard work trying to get recognized. Not saying they don't deserve it. Just frustrated that we couldn't get in.

Great job APL. Lets keep it up and get a couple more in!

Palmer, I had you guys in until the loss to the Wop Wops. It's tough ranking teams past the top 15 or so and I couldn't put ya ahead of Nairobi. Keep winning and you'll for sure get in. Many people, including myself have you guys in their minds.

Yeah, that was a tough loss. I understand and probably agree with us being knocked out. More a personal frustration than being frustrated with anyone on the rankings committee or anything. I just didn't have time to scout that game(RL took up all my time). I'm hoping to make up for it and beat SoCal by 13+ so we can make it to the elimination round of the PWT. Maybe we can use that to push into the Top 25. That and if we can beat Korb in Hazy's tourney, we should get at least some recognition.

I actually had you guys ranked at #25

Seychelles Island Sea Wolves will be there by the end of the season. At least i think you will have a very good chance, because you guys are doing an impressive job with that team.

Anyway, keep up the good work APL. We are getting a bit more recognition than earlier, although it seems like there is still mixed opinions on APL and the top teams.

Congrats to all the APL!

I'm with JM... you have no worries palmer_garnett_95, the Seychelles Island Sea Wolves will be a ranked team by the end of the season. Just make sure to schedule scrim dates so you have time to game plan for the "big" games.

Yeah, I would've had time, but my cousin had her baby around that time and could only check some things using my phone. jdawg's been pretty good about setting up scrimmage games on odd number days so we don't have 2 games in one day.

Thanks to you guys for believing in us. Seychelles beat SoCal by 37 and should not be moving on to face either Emmaus Fighting Green Hornets or Drygerian Hoblosion. Either team should be provide a huge challenge.

I hope its Emmaus

Thanks Sactownbills, I was surprised to see Nairobi ranked that high, mainly because not many know of us outside of Africa Pro.

Seychelles ranked 53 is way off. You guys should defiantly be in the top 25.

It's cool to see APL get some love.

This whole thread is pretty cool. Congrats guys on a fantastic job.
