"I got to see them a little in week 1," Jagernaut captain Justin Littell said afterwards, "They are solid, but I wonder how the newbies will gel with the rest of the team?"

7. Jagernauts (34 pts)

Kick Ass couldn't quite close the deal against Free Ballin'. However, they showed more than enough to impress our pollsters. "My gut tells me they will be a legit contender," Littell remarked on his ballot.

Record: 0-1

Last Game: L (5OC 4, BRIDGES 0)
