Men’s Game of the Week – Savagesvs. HoundDogs
In an interesting interleague game, the Savages of the A League took on the leaders of the B League, the HoundDogs. The Savages were playing their second game of the night and superstar Lester Maynard was playing his 3rd game of the evening for the Savages. The game went back and forth and went to three overtimes before the Savages escaped with a 61-60 victory. Maynard finished with 25 points and Marra added 12 for the Savages. Boneta had another good game for the HoundDogs with 18 and O’Keefe added 17.
Ladies Game of the Week – Wolves vs. Goddesses
The winless Goddesses gave all they could against the mighty Wolves before falling 78-67 in a high scoring affair where defense was um, not always utilized. India Thomas scored 21 for the Wolves and a returning Mallory Carrico added 20. Mia Peak led the Goddesses with 14 points in a spirited effort.
Legend of the Week –Lester Maynard(RimRockers and Savages)

- In an A League game, Maynard led the Savages with 12 in a 43-32 loss to the Squires.
- As noted above, in his 3rd game of the night, Maynard scored 25 for the Savages in their triple overtime win over the HoundDogs.
