Introduction

Brays Bayou FC is a nondescript third-division club in the USA managed by Mr_Wednesday.

League History

Since its inception in Season 19, the club has earned one medal for winning series V.84. After promoting to IV.40 in a qualifier against The Matza Men (defunct), the club has played four qualifiers to retain position (winning all four) and finished fourth once. In season 28, a run of bad luck and a very competitive series led to Brays being demoted to series V.146. The club was expected to easily win the series and autopromotion back to division IV, but an unexpected loss away to AC Prior and horrific luck in the final weeks and match of the season (plus a few basic managerial errors) led to LSD Chicago SC stealing the series and promotion. In season 30, the club sleepwalked to autopromotion into IV.20 and followed that campaign with a second autopromotion in season 31. The club is playing season 32 in series III.4.

Cup History

Longest Run

The longest cup run for the Meyerland XI occurred in season 30, as the side advanced to an 8th round matchup with Major League side San Diego de Alcala. Despite being badly outplayed, the club only lost by a single goal in the 93rd minute, 2 - 1 AET. This match marks the only visit of a Major League side for competitive play, although Drunk&Disorderly had played at Braesmont Park in a DarqCup match.

Previous performances

  • In season 29, Brays advanced to a 7th round matchup with Byzantines of II.2, losing 4 - 1.
  • In season 24, Brays bowed out in the 6th round to then-division III side Lineboys United.

Notable Players

Keeper Pancho Parme has made several appearances among the top 30 keepers in division IV, according to Hatstats. Parme has produced star ratings ranging up to 8.0. Former Winger Jean-Maurice Rossignol came up just short of the Canadian U-20 side in season 29, as he was the fourth-best 20-year-old winger and they only took three. Winger Asher James-Roxby is a possible Canadian U-20 for season 32.
