It was a very interesting day at GSR today. Many of the usual powerhouse teams were in rebuilding mode. Teams like 20, 126, and 175 only made it out to one or two practice matches. Here are the teams to watch as of Thursday:

58 - Have we ever walked away from a practice day saying anything other than "Yep...Riot Crew is good again!"? The most consistent performing team of the Granite State Regional is back with a slick shooter and hanger.

78 - Another given here. They shoot and hang very well. Suction is pretty nasty for ball handling.

1922 - These guys may have the single most effective shooter that I have seen this year. They can clear a zone of balls in no time what so ever. Absolutely, fantastic.

1519 - Very consistent looking shooter.

131 - Probably one of the most solid ball control dribblers at the competition. They were rocketing balls high off the glass from all the way across the field.

126 - Though it only ran for one round and its kicker wasn't kicking, the hanger was the best there. Up in seconds once they latch the bar.

20 - Once again, only out once or twice but gets the award for most maneuverable. If they get the kicker working, look out world.

2342 - They are making a mark. Very very effective at clearing a zone. Looks like they got alot of practice driving and maneuvering balls off the wall.

Of course, its practice day so its not always a great indicator, but tomorrow should be very interesting.

Good luck teams!
