Scorpion was pretty much shut down by 3538's killer defense, and in turn knocked 973, one of the best teams of 2016, out of the competition in the semifinals.
All solid teams you listed, for sure.

However, 610 had the highest scoring average in our division by 7 points per our scouting data(greater than us, and all the teams in our division).

They were a great group to play with, and we'd definitely pick them again given the information available to us at the time.

in SF 2, all 3 teams missed in auto and performed on the lower end of our averages. This combined with a great performance from 2122, 3538 and 2052 cost us the bracket.
