You’ve Got Male

Tuesday, February 9th, 2016

I must say, we are tickled pink that the priorities and values of the BTSH Lady are finally taking center stage. Sam was a doll to scratch the surface with this formidable piece of journalism, however we wonder (as much as our female minds are able to) if he stopped short of truly showcasing all the dimensions of the modern BTSH woman. We looked to an experienced journalist, Ms. Ophelia Baulls, to dive deeper into these deep dishes. We hope you enjoy the feature.

The task of reporting on the diverse ladies of BTSH was daunting, I’ll confess. In the end, though, what a gas it was to spend some time with these dames! They are a shining example of what the modern woman can be and do. I dove right into their bustling lives, and came out inspired, and a bit drunk. (more…)

One of the most energetic teams on the courts has always been the Denims Demons. Originally, they were just a group of guys in Coach’s band, but have morphed into so much more. It was not easy picking four from this group, as so many make viable arguments as to why they are worthy.

Franchise Four- Hookers

Saturday, January 23rd, 2016

Out of all the teams we’ve discussed so far (which is only nine at the moment), this has been one of the hardest. There were three unanimous choices but determing the fourth was very difficult. This team has been together for a long time and has been extremely successful. In the end, you really couldn’t go wrong picking any four people from this elite franchise.
