: : : : So far so good for the Oakwood Owls - they won a tournament in Hawaii recently and are in 1st place in their division. Good job Owls!
: : : *1st in league
: : When did they change the team name to "Owls"? Oakwood was always the "Gorillas". Great name, and completely ironic because they were a bunch of scrawny kids who rarely did well, even when they were in a not so competitive league. What league are the "Owls" in? And what other teams do they compete against?
: They do play in the Liberty League - AGBU - Milkin - Pilibos - Buckley - several teams non league - etc - tonight Notre Dame - SO
Buckley no longer is in the Liberty League, YULA is, however. Oakwood will win the league, AGBU is primed for 2nd, Pilibos will likely take the final auto bid at #3, YULA will probably finish 4th but receive an at-large bid, and Milken will be lucky to win a game.
Guessing the name change was to be more politically correct, as a certain species of gorilla is considered a racially pejorative term.
