Stats are updated through Sunday's games...

The race for first is tightening up after the Langdon River Dogs & Don's Dinos reeled in The Shaving Moes during the week. The stretch run will prove to be interesting in the money spots.

The bottom of the table keeps shaking up... both Doug's Deadbeats & Thanx For Comin' Out can't decide between the two teams which one should take the bottom spot. With the injury situation, Doug's Deadbeats may have the inside track on the bottom.

The best team of the week last week was the Sherpa's Yaks... led by Henrik Sedin (7 points) had 26 points in the week and made the middle section of the pool a little more interesting.

Manny Legace (Team Chevy) was the Player of the Week for Week 18... having a great week with 8 points.
