State of the Region Address: West

Because the inaugural regional rankings are forthcoming this week, and most teams’ Spring Breaks are now completed, I thought it was a good time for a state of the region address. I’m gonna start by taking a dive into the mess of results that make up the individual qualifiers in both singles and doubles, and…

Regional Roundup – Spring Breaks Galore

Another week, another Regional Roundup.  I know I’m a little late this week, but my goal was to get this out before the Lewis & Clark and Pacific spring breaks began tomorrow.  Mission accomplished.  I have no time to dilly-dally so let’s get right into it.  First, let’s start with a Colby Mules spring break…

2017 Power Rankings, 3/23

It’s Thursday, and that means Power Rankings.

Also, we just released AVZ’s first podcast ever, featuring an interview with #8…

On Thursdays, we power rank. Well, technically we power rank on Wednesdays, but I don’t get around to posting it until Thursday afternoon. Shoutout to all the bloggers who made it to the power rankings powwow yesterday even though I was not able to make it. I’m still recovering from that 3 hour episode of the…
