Congratulations to Team Filf for winning TSFBL Season 3!  The team defended their title from last season and was victorious! Returning teammates Antwon, Frank, James, Dan and new players added to their mix started off winning their first game.  From there, it was a struggle due to injuries and chemistry, winning their first game and only game. They were tied for last place going in to the playoffs. Their big man Lennie recovered from a chipped ankle, played big on both playoff games.  Antwon, Wes, James, Tony and Frank played tenacious defense along with the veteran Ren. Ren said “I can’t believe it, I’m 53 yrs. old and another championship!”  Having to play back to back games and beating the undefeated Lakers, says a lot!
