Captain Emily Bennington's Green had been watching...waiting...safe and dry from the rains in a secret place with secret plans to sneak about, slit throats, and save their season. After dumping Grey's lifeless body in a trunk in Week Eight, Bennington's agents picked off Pink, then choked out Charcoal in Week Nine to complete their rise from clueless klutzes to playoff suspects...
Week Eight boxes are up...recaps to come.

Per usual, there were a number of worthy candidates for POTW in Week Nine, but at this point in the season, it is really about the impact of a player's effort(s). Kalen scored the lone goal in Green's 1-0 winning coup against Pink, then served up assists on the go-ahead and GWG goals in the conclusion of a rained out affair with Charcoal. Green now sit above the cut line for the first time all season, and STILL hold a game in hand over all but one other team...
Captain Grant Goins' 'Maroonraker' have been a failure to launch all season, but a huge Week Eight win over previously unbeaten Charcoal has them approaching playoff orbit with three games left in their regular season mission. Gabe Davenport secured POTW honors with his first career shutout, and while Maroon have plenty of work left to do to reach cut line escape velocity, this win may be the booster they need to shoot for the stars...
Captain Ryan Karns' 'Karsino Royale' were heads up with Captain Grant Goins' 'Maroonraker' in a high stakes Week Seven matchup, with the winner moving safely above the cut line (at least, for now), and the loser remaining in danger of being flushed out of playoff contention. The chip stacks remained even heading into the late going, but Jenna Chercoe and her Blue mates dealt Maroon yet another losing hand and shuffled up the standings with three games left in their schedule.
Captain Bryan Ossa's 'REDACTED' entered the third period of their Week Six match with White down two goals. The lead was down to one with one minute to play...thirty seconds to play...twenty seconds...ten...five...one...GOAL! Owen Perks made every second count, scoring a goal for the ages with one tick left to tock, and in doing so kept Charcoal's loss column clean as a whistle through five games. It remains to be seen what impact (if any) this will have on either team, but it is certainly another feather in Charcoal's confidence cap, and it keeps the Week Nine matchup with Neon set as the last potential Battle Of Undefeated Teams...
