==History==
===Punks' and Cherry Blossoms' Dynasties (2158–2170)===
Following the [[2157-58 HeavensLeague lockout]], two teams came to dominate for over a decade. The [[Punktown Punks]], coached by [[Jojette Macfadyen]], and the [[Mizunoma Cherry Blossoms]], coached by [[Kasuga Kinsuke]], combined to win 10 championships over 12 seasons, facing off against each other 3 times in that span. The [[Punktown Punks|Punks]] won the 2159 and 2160 championships led by "[[Polar Bear and Boulder Bear]]" duo [[Tershawn Winns]] and [[Robbie Riggs]]. The 2161 and 2162 championships were won by the [[Mizunoma Cherry Blossoms|Cherry Blossoms]], nicknamed the "[[Breezing Blossoms (Mizunoma Cherry Blossoms)|Breezing Blossoms]]" for their quick passes and efficient ball movement, defeating the Punks both times. The Cherry Blossoms would go on to win three more consecutive championships to complete a five-peat, defeating the Punks for a third time in a [[2165 HeavensLeague Angel's Series|2165 Angel's Series]] dubbed the "Last Tango on Hardwood".
Following the end of the [[2164-65 HeavensLeague season|2164-65 season]], the Cherry Blossoms' roster broke up. The Punks would go on to win the 2166, 2169, and 2170 championships, with the 2167 and 2168 championships taken by the [[Freud District Don Juans]] and [[Porte-Liberte 39ers]] respectively.

History

Punks' and Cherry Blossoms' Dynasties (2158–2170)

Following the 2157-58 HeavensLeague lockout, two teams came to dominate for over a decade. The Punktown Punks, coached by Jojette Macfadyen, and the Mizunoma Cherry Blossoms, coached by Kasuga Kinsuke, combined to win 10 championships over 12 seasons, facing off against each other 3 times in that span. The Punks won the 2159 and 2160 championships led by "Polar Bear and Boulder Bear" duo Tershawn Winns and Robbie Riggs. The 2161 and 2162 championships were won by the Cherry Blossoms, nicknamed the "Breezing Blossoms" for their quick passes and efficient ball movement, defeating the Punks both times. The Cherry Blossoms would go on to win three more consecutive championships to complete a five-peat, defeating the Punks for a third time in a 2165 Angel's Series dubbed the "Last Tango on Hardwood".

Following the end of the 2164-65 season, the Cherry Blossoms' roster broke up. The Punks would go on to win the 2166, 2169, and 2170 championships, with the 2167 and 2168 championships taken by the Freud District Don Juans and Porte-Liberte 39ers respectively.
