League Profile: Bridesburg Boys and Girls Club APBA League

I’m a little late with this since Brian Cavanaugh sent me this update a couple weeks ago.  It worth reading though since it’s the season summary of the Bridesburg Boys and Girls Club APBA League. 

This is the third year of existence of the BBGCAL.  Brian organizes the league with the kids at the Bridesburg Boys and Girls Club in the Philadelphia area. 

The Stats on The BBGCAL:

Brian’s season update:

"The 3rd season of the Bridesburg Summer league was just as successful, if not more successful than it’s predecessors. This summer the league had 17 teams with 7 rookie/expansion teams. For the second straight season, the Championship went to the Man Children, who followed their usual game plan of out hitting and out slugging the opposition. The playoff format was changed this season with the 4 division winners earning the top 4 seeds in the best of 8 single elimination tournament. All seeds were based on the best regular season records. The final standings were as follows:
