Which teams got better(1998)?

Vaughan 1 lost Mychael Paulo and Kassius small-martin and added Oshae brissett, TJ Forde and 3 players from YSSK.

Bounce 1 added Kassius small-martin and Jahvon Blair.

YAAACE - from what I hear, their number 1 team is not participating in OBA.

Etobicoke, DCBA, TJCC, and Blessed have made no sighnificant changes.

TTT lost all their top players to Grassroots. It looks like Grassroots will immediately be a top contender while TTT will likely depart D1.

YSSK 1 has disbanded as players have left for greener pastures.

Eastside City Warriors have lost their best players and may not even make d2 this season.

Bounce 2 added Mychael Paulo, but IMO lost an even better player in Ritchie Ennin(playing soccer).

Where did the YAAACE players go(Oshae went to vaughan 1)?

I see from reading this board that Northern Kings has entered a team in U14 and hopes to play d1,d2. Who`s on that team?

Vaughan 1 is still king until they get dethroned, but they are definitely looking over their shoulders as Bounce 1 defeated them twice over the summer and those victories will surely boost their confidence. It should be another great season!

I think mississauga monarchs could be a good team this year

What other teams will contend?

- small-martin and blair are significant upgrades to bounce.

- vaughan's losses are more significant that their additions (still remain favourites, oshae good add)

- bounce and vaughan could be biggest in major bantam size wise.

- tjcc has made improvements to their bench. dean andrade is a phase 1 guy new to oba and looks good. starter stefano s. is injured (his arm is in a cast) but jcc could have best player in league in james k.

- northern kings, grassroots, and miss. wolverines (they have a really good player but cant remember his name) should enter D1 level by year end and all have star player types.

- blessed doesnt need to change much. they are always good but winning it all does not seem to be priority.

who else?

Like last year:
1-4

1. V-1(yes small-martin is a big loss, but get real, the YSSK guard and Eastside guard they got are top notch) Bounce needs an in season W to claim #1
2. Bounce-1(Also added Case from YAAACE, and big guy from Eastside)
3. TJCC(Is a force every year. Team is going to be right there fighting for #1. Whether they improved their depth or not..it's all about the "J" factor)
4. Blessed(people keep knocking them, yet they are always there)

5-8 in my opinion can't compete with the top 3 and like last year teams 5 through 12 will interchange the 5-8 spots:

5. Durham City(solid year last year)
6. Bounce 2(improved from last year)
7. Grassroots(last years TTT with a couple of additions)
8. Etobicoke(always knocking on the D1 door)

Knocking on the door(top of D2):
- Northern Kings(Not sure, have a decent first 5, but depth??)
- Mississauga Wolverines(Can't see them any different than last year, unless they improved with some new guys)
- KWVipers(can compete with #5 and below)
- Brampton(Got some big boys)

Etobicoke #2 added 3 new players to their roster, and with the addition of those talented player it looks like the Thunder will be playing a higher division for this season.

SBA 1 is looking pretty good some of there good players are # 10, #23 and #13
