1. Team 6: Coach Phil Campo

  The wild and out-of-control Sam Johnson is always an annoyance to guard. Committing an abundance of fouls, though he will never foul out because his brother Dan will make sure that he refs all of his games. Ryan Sherman and Phil Campo provide a solid front court for this team, while Pizol is simply there for intimidation.

2. Team 7: Coach Ron Agostini

  This team could beat you from anywhere on the court. From the rebound-crashing LeValleys, to the ball handling of Jeff Booth, and three-point shooting of Nick Greene, this team will be hard to stop. Also you can’t count out Sean “The Microwave” Eden, a solid player who could come off the bench to provide a spark.

3. Team 8: Coach Brian Maxwell

  Team 8 is solid all around. Childhood friends, Ben Gross and Nate Finnegan have grown to become leaders for this team. Also don’t sleep on the URI Basketball Camp attending Mike Mulroy. Although this team is ranked third, don’t be surprised, however if they struggle due to lack of a true big man.

4. Team 2: Coach Jerry Favreau

  With veterans Justin Favreau and Ben Roberts this team should be competitive. Also along with Zach Noka, who’s known to not do anything all game except net three’s at the buzzer. Coach Linc Almond told everyone at the Rec. Press Conference that, “this team is all three and no D.”

5. Team 4: Coach Lincoln Almond

  Never doubt a trio of Almonds. This team is all about physicality and grinding out games. Realizing Campos’ family was descendent from wolves, coach Linc Almond picked John up in the off-season, predicting Campos to be the next Teen Wolf. With a Jackie Moon mentality, this squad could surprise many teams in the long run.

6. Team 5: Coach Brendan Fogarty

  The much improved Andrew Hedglen is showcasing his skills this year in ways you can’t even fathom. With the departure of Brandon Daley, don’t be surprised if the team picks up a player from the waiting list. With free agent Patrick Gee still available, look for this team to make a move if they want to make the playoffs. Coach Fogarty has dubbed “Dub” as team captain, due to his grizzled beard and musky smell.

7. Team 3: Coach Dan Hagerty

  With the one-two punch of Rookie Ryan Haggerty and Veteran swingman Dan Shea, look for this team to cause problems in the front court. The Murphy twins will continue to develop into solid forwards this season. Regardless, Dan Shea is and will always remain the heart and soul of Recreation Basketball worldwide.

8. Team 1: Coach Mark Higgins

  No Lessard? No Dan Higgins? Coach Mark Higgins has his work cut out for him with this new cast and new attitude. Last year’s runner up will look to make a run on the heels of Big Peters and Chris Alb. Mike Matthews still has the ability to bank in threes which could pay dividends to this team late in games.
