End of the 2005 Season
 - 
The 2005 season has come and gone, with exciting moments and for athletes and fans as well. This page starts to wind down during the summer months, although we expect to update the site throughout the summer and prepare to change the look as we start the fall.
  
This has been a successful season for SportsFive as we recorded nearly 6 million hits through the twelve week season. We saw visitors from all over the world as well as the upstate area and from more than 50,000 servers world-wide.
    
Enjoy your summer and remember that the wins that come in the spring are earned by practice and planning during the off season.
