The Championship is finally here. Kicking off in Metaire, LA at St. Catherine's Recreational Gym. It has been a while since the Cat's have been at this stage, 8 seasons. Nobody on this team could know what it is like to represent their team in the Championship.
"I remember being in high school watching that game (2008 Championship). The Cat's were up 3 to nothing, it was all over. That's what everyone thought. Then the Gremlins came back hard. When I put on this red and white, I assume responsibility for times past, I feel the need to avenge that, for these great fans." - Jared #8 Cat's
That will be the storyline for the Cat's. This season, they have been expected to win all these games, now comes time for them to prove people wrong, which they haven't been able to do historically. They have always had the reputation of not being able to perform in the big games. Last season, they had a flex game against the Interceptors, their 1st flex in a while, they played flat in front of the nation. Many said that they couldn't get past the Play-In hump for 2 years because of the big game curse.
"Y'know, these Cat's ain't like the past ones. We gotta solid squad out here. Jared, Sonio, that new cat Arthur. It should be a hoot" - Jones Johnson fan
The story line that will dominate the rest of the country, will be the question of if the Interceptors can have the best season ever. by most accounts, that would call for them going 3-0 in these Championships. There hasn't been such an expectant odds for the Championship in a while.
"I'll admit it, we are expected to win. You can't argue with public opinion, just don't get caught up in it." Says Ricky #6 INT. "We have had the burden of expectation all year, so this is our comfort zone."
Expect one of the Interceptors rookies to step up big in this series, that will be the determinant. The Cat's have the front line to handle the Interceptors, but will their role players do something extra ordinary. That is their only hope.
Let's get it on!
