The whole gang is here!

"I want to play!"

"Did you see that shot?!"

Proud kids for their MVP dad!

Freddy, wife and daughter approve!

"Our dad's a winner!"

"Same here!"

"This gym is COLD!"

Getting serious!

3-Point Champ, Gaurave Batta!

After hitting 20th of 30 points!

With the winnings!

Elite Division!

Expansionites break through! They took down the mighty Repeat Offenders in the Final, and also beat last season's champs, the powerful Ninja!

Will Expansionites defend their awesome title in the spring to prove it wasn't a one-season fluke?! We will see!

MVP Stephen was unstoppable!

Expansionites!

Top 20!

30+ A/B Division!

The Woodchippers are making a habit of overpowering 30+ A/B teams, this time Uncle Cobras are the victim!

Is it time for WoodChippers to play with the Big Boys in Elite?!

MVP Jesse goes high!

WoodChippers!

Top 20!

30+ B/C Division!

Newly formed TombRaiders prove rookie teams can reach the top in one season! Taking down the Black Mambas wasn't easy, though! A hard fought win!

MVP Tye!

TombRaiders!

Top 20!

40+ A Division!

The MudSharks would not be denied! They pounded a highly experienced HD Chasers by playing really smart team ball!

MVP Ryan!

MudSharks!

Top 20!

40+ B Division!

The HoundDogs are back! Yes, with a bit of a drought between their last championship, they took care of business against the FreeBirds!

MVP Dennis!

HoundDogs!

Top 20!

40+ C Division!

This division wins the award for the most exciting game, won by the slimmest of margins by TGX over a hugely disappointed Bad Hombres! It was a 1-point victory, with huge clutch free throws by their MVP with no time left on the clock!

MVP Daniel on Game Winning Shot - Nervous?!

TGX!

Weeknight B/C Division!

X-Factor completes the perfect season! Not to be denied again, they came out strong and never looked back, defeating a valiant FirePower team, who was playing short. It probably would not have mattered the way X-Factor played all season, but surely a closer game!

MVP Will couldn't be stopped!

X-Factor!

Top 20!

Commish Short - Winter Semis Action and Predictions Update!

Predictions Update!

Elite Division

Ninja is OUT! Expansionites prove Commish's Office wrong and get their mojo back by defeating them in an awesome game that went down to the wire!

Now...can they continue the magic and knock off Repeat Offenders?

Sorry guys, we have to stick with RO as they go to break the tie with Ninja for most Elite Championships ever (both teams knotted at 7!)

A/B Division

We nailed it! Uncle Cobras vs. WoodChippers in the Finals!

B/C Division

Nailed it again! Tomb Raiders vs. Black Mambas in the Finals!

40+ A Division

WOW! Upset Special! The Gotem Pirates went down hard at the hands of the highly talented MudSharks, who employed an incredible strategy to frustrate a very disappointed GP team!

But no easier task for them in the Finals against perennial powerhouse HD Chasers! Too close to call - it's whoever shows up hot!

40+ B Division

Yikes! Ante Up fav loses! Not our fault, they only showed up with 5! Sorry, even the best team will struggle with that few players!

So it's HoundDogs and FreeBirds! HoundDogs going for their 11th (yes, 11th!) Legends Championship! Will their BIGs show, unlike the Semis? If they do, they win, if not, they lose badly!

40+ C Division

We're on track! It's TGX vs. Bad Hombres!

Still going with Bad Hombres - they deserve it, since no hardware resides in their homes!

Weeknight League

X-Factor and FirePower in the Finals! We cannot go against the undefeated X-Factor, sorry FirePower, but you cannot compete against such "firepower"!

Semis Action!

"O Pirates, we are coming for you!"

"Trust the Process"

The Man goes High!

"All Ball!

Surrounded!

"We will take it to you!"

"Bob, I'm too tired, I can't chase him anymore!"

Weeknight League Playoffs are Here!

The awesome Legends Weeknight League playoffs start tomorrow night with the top half of the draw in action, followed by the bottom half on Thursday!

A full 8 teams are in the draw.

First up, top seed and undefeated X-Factor (8-0) face the deeply struggling MazeRunners (0-8) who clearly are still stuck running around in the maze. But...don't say they have no chance! Coach French has supreme talent on his team! The challenge is, can he get them there all at once, and actually play to their ability! IF he can, they could pull off the miracle!

Seeds 4 vs 5 also tip off tomorrow. The new Legends team Porkin's Dream has the better record (5-3) over the venerable HD Chasers, (who somehow are only 3-5). This one cannot be called accurately, because if HD shows up in full force, Porkin's will have their hands full!

On the bottom draw, one must easily say Volume Integration (6-2), and Firepower (5-3) will get past round 1's opponents Venom and Hoosiers, respectively.

The Commish's Office has to make a call, so we'll go with X-Factor and Volume Integration-2 meeting in the Finals! They have the top two scorers in the league, Bob Ogburn (Volume), and William Kim of X-Factor...Wow, one of those two must be favorites for MVP!

Kim is unstoppable...

..and so is Ogburn!

We then see X-Factor finally getting their championship that has eluded them to this point!

It's been a great season so far...Good luck to all!

See Top 15 Scorers!
