More Season 52 milestones

 

The championship won by the Dallas Demons marks just the 18th time in 52 seasons that a title team placed no players on the All-MBA first team.

Freddy Gooch of Gillette established a one-game scoring record for Gillette in Season 52 with a 35-point game.

The next game Wawa Wewa plays in Season 53 will give him the all-time consecutive games played mark in MBA history. He is currently tied with Hall of Famer Raisin Sport with 120 straight games.

Dallas will go into Season 53 with a 9-game regular season winning streak. The record is 16 straight regular season wins, set by Dallas during late Season 46 and early Season 47.

Great Gruncle Terry is just the fourth Hall of Fame player to earn that distinction without ever having earned All-MBA honors.

Milwaukee, having swept Philadelphia in Season 52, is now the only franchise with a winning record over every team in the MBA.

The Gillette Humps are again changing head coaches. Out is Tiger Masterson (who howled at the prospect) after two seasons. In is newly retired Otto Palindrome. Tiger Masterson was 8-12 in his two seasons, the two best in franchise history. We expected more from the team last season.
