Dancin' Jansen forfeited to Golddiggers.
High Octane Plays with High Octane
The DANCIN’ JANSEN needed a week off after their title run last week. The GOLDDIGGERS took the victory with the forfeit.

HIGH OCTANE showed up and was ready to run. They lived up to their name, with non-stop action and frequent subbing. SUITS OF SMASH only had five players, so HIGH OCTANE took advantage of that. They subbed every few minutes to get fresh legs in. They did pull out to a good lead, SUITS OF SMASH hung around. They couldn’t quite keep up though and lost by ten.

The MONEY TEAM used the same strategy in their game. They used every player on the team to get fresh energy on the floor. It also worked; they took the lead in the first half and would never relinquish it. They would defeat the JACKSON BALLERS by ten.

In the last game, MEAT TREBUCHET returned after winning the spring season. They took on the 5-STARS, a free agent team. The 5-STARS hung around in the first half, only being down by ten points. But as the game got longer, the more in-shape MEAT TREBUCHET pulled ahead. In the end, MT would win by 19 and retake the top spot in the standings.

Suits of Smash forfeited to Jackson Ballers.
Jackson Ballers Win Via Forfeit
The SUITS OF SMASH were too busy for their game. They didn’t show up, so they gave the JACKSON BALLERS their first win of the season.

In the second game, the 5-STARS got more stars to help them win against HIGH OCTANE. This was a huge win for the stars; they were (0-2) coming into the game and HO WAS (2-0).

For the third game of the night, MEAT TREBUCHET kept their winning streak alive, beating the DANCIN JANSEN 58-45. This was a repeat of the championship game from the previous season. That game was a little closer than this one. DANCIN JANSEN drops to (1-2) on the year.

The MONEY TEAM let it rain in the last game, defeating the GOLDDIGGERS by nine. The win has put the GOLDDIGGERS as one of the teams to beat, as they are (3-0). They are still in 2nd place because MEAT TREBUCHET has a better scoring differential. The two undefeated teams will face each other in two weeks. The GOLDDIGGERS dropped to (1-2).

5 Stars Turning It Around
The 5 STARS won their second game in a row against the SUITS OF SMASH. The STARS improve to (2-2) on the season and in fourth place. The SUITS drop to (0-4) and are in last place.

In the second game, it was the GOLDDIGERS upsetting MEAT TREBUCHET. MEAT TREBUCHET came into the game with a 13 game winning streak dating back to the last session. The GOLDDIGGERS got a good lead and were able to keep it. It was their first real win of the year (other win was a forfeit). They are now (2-2) and MEAT is (3-1).

DANCIN JANSEN took on the JACKSON BALLERS, and it turned out to be a pretty good game. JANSEN led throughout most of the game, but the BALLERS stayed in it with deadly three point shooting. They were able to tie the game up at 33 at the half. In the second half, JANSEN started to pull away at the twelve minute mark. The BALLERS stayed in it but would end up losing by nine. There were two dunks by JANSEN that were pretty impressive.

For the last game, it was MONEY TEAM staying in the money with a four point win over HIGH OCTANE. MONEY is now (4-0) and in first place of the league. HIGH OCTANE drops to (2-2), still very much in the hunt.

High Octane-Back to Winning
HIGH OCTANE got back on the winning track, defeating the JACKSON BALLERS by a lot. The win has put them at (3-2). The JACKSON BALLERS dropped to (1-4).

In an exciting game, the MONEY TEAM stayed undefeated with a huge win over MEAT TREBUCHET. After their long winning streak, MEAT has lost two games in a row. They still are in second place with a (3-2) record. The MONEY TEAM has a two game advantage over the field at (5-0).

DANCIN JANSEN defeated the SUITS OF SMASH in another lopsided game. The SMASH have had some problems this season with attendance which has affected their performance. They are now (0-5). The DANCIN JANSEN improved to (3-2) and is in third place.

For the last game of the night, it was the 5 STARS bringing down the GOLDDIGGERS. The 5 STARS have been on a roll lately, winning three in a row to improve their record to (3-2). The GOLDDIGGERS were surprisingly flat after their big win last week over MEAT TREBUCHET. The GOLDDIGERS are now (2-3) on the season.

Dancin' Jansen No Longer Dancin'
HIGH OCTANE defeated the DANCIN JANSEN. Both teams came into the day with a (3-2) record and both with winning streaks. DANCIN had a two game winning streak, but it was snapped. Now HIGH OCTANE has a two game streak. With the win, OCTANE’S (4-2) record is good enough for 4th place.

MEAT TREBUCHET got back on the winning side with a mercy rule induced win over SUITS OF SMASH. The SUITS are still looking for their first win of the season. Next week they’ll have their chance against the GOLDDIGGERS. MEAT TREBUCHET is still in second place because of their (4-2) record and their great point differential.

The JACKSON BALLERS defeated the GOLDDIGGERS. The GOLDDIGGERS’ big win last week didn’t quite transfer to this week-even though it was only a one point game. The BALLERS needed that win, since it was the first one that wasn’t a forfeit.

In the last game, it was the 5-STARS beating the undefeated MONEY TEAM. The MONEY TEAM couldn’t outrun the STARS, something that they have done to all of their opponents. The STARS got up by ten points in the 2nd half and never looked back after that. The STARS are now in 3rd place at (4-2). MONEY TEAM is in first at (5-1).

Meat Trebuchet forfeited to High Octane.
5 Stars are Team to Beat
It was the last week of the regular season! The GOLDDIGGERS started the night off with a win over the SUITS OF SMASH. The SUITS OF SMASH had a disappointing season, failing to win a game. The GOLDDIGGERS slipped into the 6th spot to make the playoffs. They will take on the MONEY TEAM next week.

The 5 STARS are on a roll, winning their last five games of the season. They finished their season in first place with a (5-2) record. The JACKSON BALLERS gave them a run for their money; the game wasn’t really decided until the final minute. They will play in two weeks in the first semifinal game. The JACKSON BALLERS finished in 7th, so they will not make the playoffs.

DANCIN JANSEN took care of the MONEY TEAM, giving them their second straight loss. JANSEN started off hot, hitting a lot of threes and getting up by 20 points early. The MONEY TEAM tried everything to get back in to it, but it wasn’t going to happen. DANCIN JANSEN finished in fifth place and will play MEAT TREBUCHET in the first round next week. The MONEY TEAM finished in 3rd and will play the GOLDDIGGERS next week.

HIGH OCTANE got their fifth win of the season, solidifying them in second place and receiving the first round bye. MEAT TREBUCHET drops to 4th place and takes on tough DANCIN JANSEN next week.
