Los Pollos Hermanos forfeited to F.O.E.
Byes
Against All Odds
Season is Underway
LOS POLLOS HERMANOS started the year off with a not-so-good performance. They were unable to get enough players for a squad, so they forfeited to FOE.

The SILLY NANNIES have returned from the summer season. They won the summer as well as going a perfect 9-0. They had their hands full with MORON MOUNTAIN. MM sure looked good, and will be a contender towards the end of the season. But the NANNIES were able to hold them off to keep their winning streak.

GO BUFFS, a team that consists mostly of players from the 5-Stars from the summer Monday league, could also be considered a returning champion. The 5-Stars won the Monday league back during the summer session. Now they have gone back to their original GO BUFFS name and will be eyeing the SILLY NANNIES. GO BUFFS ended up beating THE FAMILY by double-digits.

The MATZAH BALLERS are another summer team. They were a semifinalist in the summer Tuesday league. This league is going to be a very competitive league. They were able to defeat the new CARMELO APPLES by five points to start off (1-0).

Double Headers
Against All Odds
The Cream is Rising
LOS POLLOS HERMANOS rebounded well after their first week forfeit. They were able to beat AGAINST ALL ODDS to even up their record. It was AAO’s first game of the season. They are now (0-1) on the season.

AGAINST ALL ODDS had to play a double-header. They pulled the short straw, having to play the SILLY NANNIES for the 2nd game of the night. But they did pretty well. They only lost by eleven points, which is pretty good-all things considered.

The GO BUFFS improved to (2-0) with their dominant win over the MATZAH BALLERS. Ian was player of the game. MATZAH has dropped to (1-1) on the season.

FOE got their second win of the season, defeating the CARMELO APPLES by thirty points. FOE improves to (2-0) and the APPLES drop to (0-2). There’s still plenty of season the turn things around.

The Duke led THE FAMILY to a ten point victory over MORON MOUNTAIN. Both teams came into the game winless, but now only one remains.

F.O.E
Championship Night Came Early
SILLY NANNIES win again against the GO BUFFS. This game had a lot hype going into it. Both teams won in their respective seasons during the summer. GO BUFFS gave them a good game, but came up four points short. Even with the loss, GO BUFFS are still in second place with a (2-1) record. NANNIES are (3-0).

MORON MOUNTAIN got their first win of the season over the MATZAH BALLERS. With the loss, both teams are now (1-2) on the year. Both teams will have their hands full next week, as they go against teams with better records.

LOS POLLOS HERMANOS and CARMELO APPLES ended their game in a tie, 33-33. The APPLES really needed a win to get the piano off their back, but it will have to wait until next week. LPH is now (1-1-1).

THE FAMILY took down AGAINST ALL ODDS to improve to (2-1). AGAINST ALL ODDS is now (0-3) and at the bottom of the standings.

The SILLY NANNIES got back to their winning ways, taking down LOS POLLOS HERMANOS. The win brings the NANNIES to (4-1) on the season. LPH drops to sixth place.

In the second game, the SILLY NANNIES won again to finish out their double-dip. They took down the MATZAH BALLERS to improve to (5-1). The BALLERS drop to eighth place at (1-4).

In the third game, the CARMELO APPLES beat the heavily favored GO BUFFS for their first win of the season. Adir S was player of the game, leading his team to unknown territory. GO BUFFS drop to (3-2) on the season and the APPLES are (1-3-1).

MORON MOUNTAIN beat AGAINST ALL ODDS in the fourth game. ALO hasn’t had a win yet. MORON MOUNTAIN still hovers around the .500 mark.

In the last game of the night, Jake H led the FAMILY to their fifth win of the season. This game had two of the league’s powerhouses going at it. It was the first loss of the season for FOE, so they ended up dropping to fourth place. THE FAMILY still is holding the number one spot at (5-1).

Double Headers
Moron Mountain
Byes
Silly Nannies, The Family
Against All Odds Wins Against All Odds
Carmelo Apples took on Moron Mountain to start the basketball night off. Nick M led the way for the Morons and helped his team beat the Apples. The thirteen point victory put them about the .500 mark. The Apples are now in seventh place with a (1-4-1) record.

Moron Mountain had to play a double header. Their next opponent was against the very tough FOE. FOE gave the Silly Nannies their only loss two weeks ago, so my money was on FOE. But Moron Mountain had other plans. They took down FOE by seventeen points and went to (4-2). FOE drops to (3-2).

MVP Marcus was back at it with his Go Buffs Team. They lost last week but bounced back this week with an impressive win over Los Pollos Hermanos. Even with the loss and a (1-3-1) record, LPH is still in sixth place. Go Buffs are now in third place with a (4-2) record.

For the last game, it was Against All Odds defeating the Matzah Ballers by thirty points. This was a very important game, as both teams are at the bottom of the standings and only 8 teams advance to the playoffs. The win has put Odds at eighth place and Matzah at ninth. Next week will be really exciting as they both take on FOE. For Matzah to make the playoff they will have to win and Odds will have to lose, because the point differential is too large for Matzah to overcome.

F.O.E
The Family takes Top Seed
The regular season is all finished. In the first game of the night it FOE defeated the MATZAH BALLERS to solidify fourth place. The BALLERS dropped to (1-6) on the season, and since their point differential was worse than AGAINST ALL ODDS, they will not make the playoffs.
FOE then took on AGAINST ALL ODDS and defeated them. AGAINST ALL ODDS finished the season at (1-6) and will be the 8th seed going into the playoffs.

Jake H led The FAMILY over LOS POLLOS HERMANOS. The win gives them a (6-1) record and narrowly beats out the (6-1) SILLY NANNIES for the top seed. LPH will play the SILLY NANNIES next week as the 2 vs 7 matchup.

The SILLY NANNIES defeated the CARMELO APPLES. The APPLES finish in 6th place, beating out LPH for the spot. The CARMELO APPLES will take on MORON MOUNTAIN in the 3 vs 6 match.

In the last game, Mr. Big Shot Will led MORON MOUNTAIN over GO BUFFS. The win puts them at 3rd. GO BUFFS drops to fifth place and will take on FOE in the first round. Good luck tournament teams.

Upsets Galore
The first round of the playoffs are in the books, and man were they exciting! The number one seed, The Family, did not have a walk-through with the eight seeded Against All Odds. AAO kept the game close and only lost by nine points.

Number five seed Go Buffs upset number four FOE. It was an extremely close game, but Marcus P led the way for the Buffs and helped ice FOE with a three point victory. Go Buffs will take on The Family next week in the first semifinal. In week 1, Go Buffs took care of the Family pretty easily. But since that game, The Family has not lost.

The other side of the bracket was like the other side of the moon-unpredictable! Number seven Los Pollos Hermanos upset the defending champs, the Silly Nannies, by three points. Mike was the Player of the Game.

In the last game, number six Carmelo Apples upset number three Moron Mountain by nine points. Justin A was the Player of the Game. In the regular season, Los Pollos Hermanos and the Carmelo Apples tied 33-33. It should be a good semifinal.
