Re: Predictions Week 7: District Championship Weekend
I feel like anyone surprised with 341's performance clearly didn't watch Finger Lakes. They were one of the top 3 finishers at the event, with reasonable consistency from in front of the 1 point goal. As most teams have learned at this point, it's really the only place it's important to be able to shoot in the high goal from, as it isn't vulnerable to defense. Daisy's strategic flexibility and ability to play multiple roles on the fly will serve them well at the Championship.
2590 / 11 / 341 was a phenomenal alliance, and the whole managed to be even better than the sum of its parts. Expect alliances similar to this one to be on Einstein - low seeds of three great teams beating out pairs of powerhouses with more rigid strategies.
