Only works against equal talent teams. If the decide they want to play overly-physical ball against Hero's or M&D type teams, it won't do them any good. Even SW has a few physical players.

Those teams have the type of kids who can put a physical hurting on teams if that's the way it has to go. But they (unlike Coppermine) don't need to because of the skill players.

A friend said Coppermine will be okay. They were a little rusty yesterday with some very correctable mistakes. They had not played a game since November. Will contend for one of the 8 playoff spots. Plus their toughest game is their last against BLC. Their biggest test will be against SW.
