You may be right there. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I personally wouldn't say overhyped is too drastic. Considering these are the same 15 to 18 year old we vote on and judge all the time, I personally wouldn't say it's too much.
As to people talking about Berthold, there is no doubt they are a competitive team. They're MAYBE the best in their district, though it's really tough to say. Berthold has, with the exception of Dickinson Trinity and maybe Surrey, not played anyone super impressive, so it's hard to make a fair assessment. No doubt Lee can shoot though, fun kid to watch. And boy does that team run.
Thankfully they'll be playing Rugby and Our Redeemer's in the not so distant future. If they can get through with two wins or split them with two close games or whatever I'll sit down. But until then I don't think they deserve the "hype," or to put it nicer, have not proven themselves enough for them to be receiving the poll votes they have.
