Week 8 News and Notes

Week 8 News and Notes

News: We have officially entered our regular season’s second half and so far, Archie and Dan are doing their best to separate from the rest of the pack. In other league news, Jay picked Week 8 to finally get off the schneid courtesy of Brian and Tee Higgins.

Week 4 News and Notes

Week 4 News and Notes

They aren’t calling it season ending. Maybe the swelling is preventing them from fully assessing it or maybe it’s more like the Achilles tendonitis CMC now magically has in both ankles. In Clan McDonald, scoring remained “moderate” shall we say? Our stragglers steered clear of the fifties and…
