At the beginning of a new season, a new era is beginning in Kittanning. There are departures and arrivals, welcomes and farewells to be made:
The Tornadoes wish to say hello to D.IV, where they will be headed after a tough Finals and much closer than expected Game 3.
The Tornadoes wish to say goodbye to V.101, the site of epic losses to the Bunny Humpers that revived the Tornadoes' manager's flagging interest in this game. Erie Razors, Avenel Falcons, your turns are coming soon. Best of luck to both of you.
The Tornadoes wish to say hello to Billy Ray Gansler, a top-flight guard prospect with outstanding starting skills and excellent potential. A warm welcome is also extended to Marshall Ray, a young undersized SF whose status with the team has yet to be determined.
The Tornadoes wish to say goodbye to Li Zhizhi, who has become expendable with the addition of Gansler. Zhizhi is officially upon the trading block and any offers will be considered. While the team thanks Zhizhi for his contributions, it's time to get younger and more athletic and thus he became a roster casualty.
...
The list goes on. The Tornadoes will look to revamp their offense, with rumors suggesting a move to SG in Faina's future? This of course would necessitate adding another player at PF. Regardless of what they choose to do, one thing is clear. The future is very bright for this team, and without this league and the players in it this team might not even exist. So thank you everyone (particular shout-out to Lemony, who in many ways is my inspiration as much as he is my rival) and good luck as we move into Season 19!!
