Best Skippers Honored By IPA, FM's Groveland And Midway's Chandler Winners
The top IPA managers for 2014 have been selected by BNN. This year's best are Far Mountain's Alex Groveland in the Ruthlandian Union and Midway's Cochise Chandler in the Tycobbian Union. Groveland's Redhawks captured their sixth consecutive RU North title and recorded the most wins in the IPA with a 96-58 mark. Groveland won the award for the third straight year. Chandler led his Wolves to the playoffs for the first time in history with a league-best 94-60 record. Midway rose up from 4th place in 2013. Chandler is a first-time winner.

In the Ruthlandian Union, Belair Beach's Marty Pedroza was second to Groveland in the poll. His Sunbirds won the RU South with a 95-59 record. Marston's Johnny Walters was number three. The Nine climbed from 4th to first in the RU East. The other votegetters were Boo Ladrieux of Belle Plaine in fourth place and Rocky Rapids' Ryan Noland. The Musketeers jumped from 6th to second in the RU East and the Snappers went from 5th to second in the RU West with a 91-63 mark, which was the fourth-best record after powerhouses Far Mountain, Belair Beach and Colfax.

Over in the Tycobbian Union, the runner-up to Chandler was Zim Donner of the Hartsdale Hellcats in the TU North, who went from last place to first place in just one year. Third in the polling was Kenwood's Aaron Hankins. His Wildcats moved from 3rd in the TU West to first and returned to the postseason for the first time since 2002. Turon's Whitey Richburn came in fourth. The Typhoons were again pennant winners in the TU South with a 93-61 record, second in victories to Midway's 94.
