• No option but WIN IT ALL

  

  As the Gryphons did last season, they have been rolling at the end of the season setting a new franchise mark for wins in a row along the way. But are they ready for the post-season? The team has been the best team over the past 4 regular seasons and the worst playoff team in their last 4 outings going 0-8 not making it out of the first round not once. The team goes in as the #1 seed again, but could possibly have a playoff setback ...again. Nicholas Magdaleno is now out for the rest of the season as is his backup Edmond Chau. This leaves rookie Cleveland Trinka starting alongside Guadalupe Hanley at forward. If Floyd Emerton can navigate the Gryphons to a championship this season amidst astronomical pressure from the fans, the Gryphons will have etched a golden mark on the league. Emerton has had an amazing season averaging nearly a triple double throughout the final games of the regular season and has been the best guard in the league since coming to the Gryphons.
