The Springfield Bullhawks (10-3) managed to steal the Norris Division title from the Houston Inferno (10-3) with a 112-52 win. The Inferno only had one player in double-digits this week. I assume the Inferno players just decided to coast the week before the FFL playoffs start. The 'Hawks enter the playoffs next week as the #1 seed, while the Inferno have to settle for #3.

The P'burg PrairiePride (7-6) wrapped up the Long Division title with a 80-68 victory over the Peoria OrangeCrush (4-9). Reggie Bush had the first monster game of his career with a 41 point performance. Unfortunately, Reggie sat the 'Crush bench this week. The 'Pride go into next week's playoffs as the #2 seed.

My Spooky Boogeymen (7-6) decided to wake up just in time for an important win over the Kentucky Mad Max (5-8). Marvin Harrison and Tony Gonzalez came up with big performances for the Boogeymen. With the win (and a loss by the Outkasts), the Boogeymen have somehow managed to qualify for the playoffs as the #4 seed.

The Petersburg PowerPuff Girls (7-6) knocked the Shelbyville Outkasts (7-6) out of the playoffs with a 95-70 defeat. The PowerPuffs got even scoring throughout their lineup, with the Steelers Defense leading the way with 20 points. The Outkasts held their fate in their hands, as a victory this week would have put them into the playoffs. With the loss, the Outkasts end up with the same record as my Spooky Boogeymen. However, a 3-point win in week 6 gives the Boogeymen the head-to-head edge and a pass into the playoffs. Sorry Jack!

The Batavia Bulldogs (6-7) defeated the Foreign Bodies (4-9) by a score of 66-48. The Bodies could have used some of the 46 points that were left on the bench this week. However if that were legal, the Bulldogs could have fought back with 81 bench points of their own.

Here are the final regular season standings...

NORRIS DIVISION Springfield Bullhawks (10-3) Houston Inferno (10-3) Spooky Boogeymen (7-6) Shelbyville Outkasts (7-6) Batavia Bulldogs (6-7)

LONG DIVISION P'burg PrairiePride (7-6) Kentucky Mad Max (5-8) Petersburg PowerPuff Girls (5-8) Peoria OrangeCrush (4-9) Foreign Bodies (4-9)

As I might have mentioned once or twice above, the playoffs start next week. Unlike the regular season, each playoff game is two weeks long and there are two playoff games (for a total of four weeks). Here are the brackets...

Winner's Bracket #1 Springfield Bullhawks vs. #4 Spooky Boogeyman #2 P'burg PrairiePride vs. #3 Houston Inferno Consolation Ladder #5 Shelbyville Outkasts vs. #6 Batavia Bulldogs #7 Kentucky Mad Max vs. #8 PowerPuff Girls #9 Peoria OrangeCrush vs. #10 Foreign Bodies

Good luck!
