SOMEBODY is a little upset. Without the Kooper's kids that supposedly left the Dukes team, they will struggle to beat most of the top club teams. That's a big advantage for Koopers 2022 because now they can claim a legit 2022 team and their stronger players can focus on a sound club team without having to prop up the Duke's 2022 team. Dukes was an interesting concept, but they were slightly overrated for an "All Star" type team and it only really helped to inflate the ego's of the less talented players and their parents(ie: the guy melting down in the previous post^^). Most of the top club teams would thump Dukes if they could add 2-3 chosen ringers from another local club each game. Not a great investment just to enable "bragging rights" for people who would be quickly replaced if some of the other top talent decided to play for that team. Toss in some shady business practices and some kids below the "travel line" are finally getting a call to action!
