They're one of the most dangerous "#2" teams in the division, but they'll need that top level team to take the pressure off of them and help them advance in the tournament.
1218 has a stinger, and in fact they have had it since week 1! We didn't use it at Hatboro-Horsham (didn't need it), and at Chestnut Hill we didn't spend enough time on the practice field to work out all of the details (ended up going up in a less than optimal order, and too quickly). But 341 and 1218 did spend several hours of unbagging time practicing triple balancing, and given the right partners, they are VERY effective at it!
