Venom Sting Outlaws; Dream Team Wins!

The C Division teams did not win a game the first time they played against the B Division teams in Week 3; however, that quickly changed on Sunday. In the first game of the day, the Venom jumped out to an insurmountable lead to shock the Outlaws 19-11. This marked the only victory for the C teams this weekend. In their next game, the Outlaws beat the Professionals 18-0. The Hellraisers and Hellcats were both 2-0 against the C teams, beating the Venom, Professionals, and Clippers.

In the only all B Division game, the Hellcats rallied to beat the Hellraisers 12-9. The Hellcats improve to 6-1 and now have a 3 and 4 game leads over the Outlaws and Hellraisers.

In the C Division, the Venom gained a half game on both the Professionals and Clippers and only percentage points separate these three teams. These teams each have three games remaining against each other.

Parity is starting to prevail in the D Division as teams begin to separate themselves from the rest of the pack. The Legal Eagles won both their games, and they now lead the entire D Division with an 11-1 record. The Legal Eagles can thank the Predators (8-4) after they shocked the Vipers (10-2) 6-2 to knock the Vipers a game behind the Legal Eagles. The Vipers started the weekend in sole possession of the Western Conference lead only to end the day in a tie with the Xtremes (10-2) who won both their games on Sunday.

In the Eastern Conference, the Dragons (8-4) remain in second place with the Wave (7-5) moving up in the standing to find themselves in third place. Four teams are 6-6, including the Warriors, Swallows, Justice League, and Herricanes (who have a four game win streak).

In the Western Conference, the Bam Bams (8-4) and Predators (8-4) both trail conference leaders Vipers and Xtremes by two games.

Several teams won both their games this weekend, including the Legal Eagles, Wave, Herricanes, Xtremes, Predators, and Sharks. Also, the Dream Team won their first game of the season when they beat the Angels 6-5. Congratulations to the Dream Team!

There will be no games next weekend (Mother's Day) and league play resumes on May 18.
