“MONGOOSE” SITTING PRETTY

Boasters League Round 6~~

Team “Mongoose” have the ‘bye’ next week, but the way things are going, they could remain atop of the standings anyway. They hold a 22 point lead over the “Speed Ballers” who in turn – although in second place – are only 5 points ahead of 6th placed “The Beamers”. “The Underdogs” are slowly drifting away from the rest of the pack in 8th spot, and cellar dwellers “Delta Force” are averaging less than 10 points per round and need to start pounding the courts quickly and often if they want any chance of reaching the play-offs due to start in 4 weeks.

There were 2 matches yesterday that went to the third game sudden-death point. Mark Hayduk (“The Beamers”) survived to win 15-14 in the 3rd over Greg Davis (“Winky-Dinks”) and I was witness to seeing David Pontes (“Mongoose”) and Brandon Dobbins (“Speed Ballers”) come off the court with heaving chests and grabbing for the closest chair as David took that match 15-14 in the 3rd as well. The picture is of Bob Garvey (“Courts and Pints”) and Chuck Doyle (“Threepeat”). Chuck won that encounter 3-0, but it was tougher than what the score suggests.

There are 3 weeks left. I cannot make it any clearer than this:

DEADLINE TO PLAY ALL YOUR MATCHES IS THURSDAY, MARCH 3 (INCLUSIVE)

Last three teams on the standings will be eliminated; top two teams will receive a first round bye. Get cracking.
