IPA LCS STARTS SUNDAY
We are now down to four teams in the IPA Pro Cup playoffs... Cold Creek, the seventh choice to win the Pro Cup, tangles with defending IPA champ Ranford, who was picked the sixth-best team in The Islandian Times' Pro Cup poll... they will battle for the Ruthlandian Union League championship... In Tycobbia powerful North Hills will go up against the Kenwood Wildcats... the Hawks are the highest-ranked club still in the playoffs... they were rated third best in the poll... unheralded Kenwood was in the fifth spot in the survey.

All four clubs are playing extremely well in the postseason so far... it should be quite a donnybrook before the IPA titlist is crowned... the oddsmakers are leaning toward North Hills because they defeated the Pro Cup favorite Cape Coral in five games, completely de-throttling the heavy-hitting Hurricanes... Ranford is just off of an upset of second-ranked San Dimas in a spirited seven-game set... and Cold Creek played superbly in a sweep of number four Middlefield... Kenwood is the least-likely team to take home the famed trophy, even though they easily disposed of the eighth-rated South Fork Stallions in five games.

Most fans don't really pay much attention to the Pro Cup ratings... they don't usually pan out very well. In fact, it seems to be a jinx to be a high pick. Last year Ranford was rated the least-likely to win the Pro Cup and the remarkable Bulls proved everybody wrong. And now they are back again to do it all over again.

Of the clubs remaining in the Pro Cup quest, North Hills has the best record at 95-59... Kenwood finished 90-65 in the regular season... and Cold Creek and Ranford were tied at 86-68. The Hawks will have the homefield advantage over the Wildcats because of a better season record, while the Bulls will get it because they beat the Catamounts four out of six in the regular campaign.
