rockfish spring league announcment

Rockfish Spring League This Weekend:
Games Saturday, Playoffs Sunday--(Apr. 6, 2001)

RSL play will resume this weekend at LA City College. Saturday marks the final day of the regular season of RSL play, and Sunday will mark the first day of the RSL playoffs, which will conclude a week from tomorrow (Saturday, April 14). A lot of the players in the RSL will also be over at Cal State Dominguez Hills and Lynwood at the Pump Easter Tournament, so you will likely see a lot of the same players at both locations, particularly among the "outside" teams (Belmont Shore, Inland and IEBP) or players on some of the RSL teams who play predominantly for other teams during the spring and summer tournaments. Of course, that's not the case for those guys who play exclusively for the Rockfish travel teams (e.g., the players who play on the Rockfish 1, 2 and 3 teams in the spring and summer tournaments), so if you want to see guys like Rory O'Neil, Bryant Markson, Donald Wilson, Wes Wardrop, Nick Curtis, etc., then LACC will be the only place to see those guys tomorrow and Sunday. . . As for us, we'll be at both throughout the day.

Here's the schedule for Saturday and for the rest of the playoffs. Note that we've updated the Sunday, April 8 schedule based on the info which Mark Mayemura and Dave Benezra e-mailed us tonight. It might change. Sunday's schedule might change yet again (we've already received two different versions) but this is the latest one we've gotten.
