Men’s Game of the Week – StrongArms vs. Xmen (A League)

Unlike last week, this time, the Xmen pulled out the win, winning 52 to 49 in overtime. Julien had 23 points and Edmund added 15 for the Xmen. Donnelly and Kissling each had 12 for the StrongArms.
Ladies Game of the Week – Wolves vs. Vulcans
The shockingly winless Wolves took on the Vulcans in a must win game. With no players available on their bench, the Wolves still managed to take a six point lead with little time to go in regulation. However, some heady defense by the Vulcans resulted in the game going to overtime. One overtime was not enough though and another extra session was needed. The Wolves finally put the Vulcans away in overtime number two, winning 51 to 48. India Thomas and Mallory Carrico had stellar games, finishing with 26 and 22 respectively. Mia Peak led the Vulcans with 14 and A. Johnson had 10. The FBI missing persons division was notified to stop looking for Kaitlyn Conboy as she made a rare appearance at the game.
Legend of the Week –Matthews (Raiders – and now WestCoasters)
Fresh off the disaster known as drafting Darius Heyward Bey, who knew what crazy plan Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis had in store for the Legends team he sponsors. In a rare moment of insightfulness, Davis managed to pick up Matthews. Matthews had a stellar game for the Raiders with 29 points as the Raiders destroyed the Wildcats 68 to 34. Subsequently, the hurting WestCoasters of the Elite division received word of the A level stud Matthews, and quickly picked up his partial contract for the remainder of the season.
