2008 Benchwarmer Championships

Nokomis comes back for another go after two straight league titles (and conference champ the year before that).

Aaron Conference: Twin Peaks (87-63) vs. Trinidad (95-55)

Trinidad comes in as the likely favorite, breezing to 95 wins in 2008 and a return to the playoff round after a visit in 2006.  Twin Peaks improved by 12 games from 2007 and won their first Mays Division title.

Season series: Tied 6-6

League Power Index Rankings: Trinidad: 1 (2nd in all of BWB) Twin Peaks: 5

Trinidad Wins in 5 Games

Ruth Conference: Lemon (81-69) vs. Nokomis (82-68)

Nokomis is back again.  They could only eke out a 1-game win over Heartland, but now that they're here, they are the 2-time defending champions (and only team to ever win the McGuire Division).  Lemon gets their first division title in franchise history making a big jump from 4th place in 2007.

Season series: Nokomis won 8 games to 4

League Power Index Rankings: Nokomis: 3  Lemon: 4

Lemon Wins in 5 Games

BWB CHAMPIONSHIP : Lemon vs. Trinidad

Lemon comes into the finals as the likely underdog, but they did end up on top in the head-to-head matchups this season.  This will be the first league title for either team.  Trinidad is a lock to make the Benchwarmer Bash - even as a wild card - but Lemon has to win to advance.

Season series: Lemon won 4 games to 2

Lemon Wins in 6 Games
