Two good posts under a four-year-old headline
The league's current announcements are the 2026 Rocket City Classic, with its forms and a contact for inquiries, and a season preview that does real work: how many clubs each division carried, how many new players are expected, how the schedule is structured, and a reminder that every player must sign the waiver. Above both sits a banner that has not moved in four years — 2022 season team fees due May 2nd, 2022 season begins Sunday June 5th, open practices at The Rock on Sundays 3pm to 6pm.
A stale banner over current news is what happens when the top of a page and the middle of it are edited in different places. A league on High Cheese gets a wire where finals and notices post themselves in order, so the newest thing is the first thing.
