| '''Cleveland's Glory Days''': In season 64 Coach Timwhelan was hired away to coach middle school girl's basketball and Ngw12 was signed to take his place. Rockford fell apart, dropping to 13-11 without their departed seniors to lean on. Springfield, St. Cloud, and St. Paul all won 15 plus games in the southern division, but it was Cleveland again who topped them all with another 20 win season thanks to the three headed monster of Griffith/Hall/Cox, who were all High School All Americans. They won another Inferno title, and this time the great ROI crown. They then finished #7 in the country after an elite 8 defeat to the eventual champions, the Albuquerque Oldtimers. Returning four starters the next season meant reason for hope and a chance to nab the first league championship in conference history. Cleveland got off to a miserable start losing 3 of their first five in the Inferno, but after a 39 point humiliation against Springfield, a kid named Allen Wing broke out as the x-factor in a 15 game winning streak that gave them a regular season conference title, conference tournament championship, and huge NTT wins over Grand Rapids, Santa Fe, St. Martinsville, Annapolis, and then Toledo. The underdog 6 seed Maaks fell 12 points short of the NTT championship aginst the undefeated Tuscon Court Jesters led by the unbelievable front court of Jay Allen, Amos Sarver and +10 SF Clyde Castro. Allen Wing scored 28 points in the defeat, but the rest of the team was ice cold, leaving the city of Cleveland in great disappointment once again. | | '''Cleveland's Glory Days''': In season 64 Coach Timwhelan was hired away to coach middle school girl's basketball and Ngw12 was signed to take his place.
