Hmmm....

We could do that, we have about 90 lbs below 8 inches high and our arm goes very high. 1 and 1/4" tube construction is pretty tough. If we find ourselves in a tough match against a team that "fires" the ball over the overpass we will have to give it a try.

There is a caveat: This will only be possible against a very few shooters who fire at a little distance from the overpass. Other shooters get right up against the overpass when they shoot and it would be nearly impossible to block without interfering with their hurdling move.

So much of what is being talked about here depends on the qualifying match ups. Can't wait to find out who is playing who.
