What’s in a league championship?
Especially in this era of power ratings and strengths of schedules and what they mean in playoff pairings and postseason division assignments, which were to be announced today.
A league title represents essentially just bragging rights, but ask the players and coaches who achieved it and what they think when banners are hoisted in gymnasium rafters.
All will agree the accomplishment still carries weight and memories that will last.
Twenty-two league champions and four co-champions were officially crowned last night and began preparing for the second season and playoffs that start Tuesday.
