Regardless, they secured the title and etched their name in We-Ball history.

🥈 Season 5 Runner-Up – After a few struggling seasons post-championship, the Turtles made it back to the finals in Season 5, showing they could still compete at the highest level.

🌟 First Official MVP – Eamonn Burke became We-Ball’s first-ever MVP in Season 5, proving that the Turtles could develop top-tier talent.

🔥 A Team That Never Quits – Despite multiple losing seasons, Purple Turtles have remained a tough matchup every year. Their ability to bounce back and reinvent themselves has been a key to their longevity.

Biggest Rivalries
