SAN ANTONIO, TX: Championship Week | Team Spotlight: Gotham City
The rooks....
Gotham City is back in the Finals! This highly successful franchise has yet to put a banner of their own up, yet they are right there, and have been for the last 4 seasons.

Undefeated:
Gotham City has basically cruised through the Spring Season. There have been some close calls, (Stud Muffins, BND), but most games have ended in blowout wins. The team looks poised to capture a banner, and make UHSA history on Wednesday. Will they?
Heart and Soul
SG Pat Fridley and F Kai Johnson have been the core of this franchise since their debut in 2015. However, they both remain banner-less. They hope this season, things will change. PG Justin Brickman has rejoined the squad this season as well, after leaving to play with older brother Jason Brickman, and Dee Jackson on the Little Rascals.
Veteran Help
Gotham City has enlisted the help of a few Championship Vets in the form of F Dee Jackson (Dream Chasers 15'), PG Jason Brickman (Scranton Stranglers 15'), F Josh Martin (Dream Chasers 15') and SG Anthony Gabriel (Scranton Stranglers 15') to come bring some of that magic to Gotham. These guys have all won chips', and obviously know what it takes.
Rooks
First timers Ansley Benjamin, and Tuck Powell have stepped in and made huge contributions. In Ansley's first season, he is averaging 18ppg and 12rpg as a force down low. Tuck Powell is averaging 8ppg with his contributions behind the arc.
Putting it Together
All in all, Gotham City plays a fast pace game (1st in scoring/86ppg), and really takes control of the break. It's a balanced attack (1st in apg/20apg) and a swarm on defense (1st in spg/7spg). A true testament to "Team Play", this is Gotham in a nutshell. Will their name join the other banners in the gym? Find out Wednesday....
