Spiders 4, Fugaweez 2: Four different Spiders scored in this one, and the defense smothered Fugaweez, allowing just seven shots. Goals were by Andrew Somebody (can’t read your last name, Andrew, sorry), Somebody With Initials KN, Alex Somebody and … well, we’ll give the fourth goal to scorekeeper LeMoine (apparently goes by one name, like Pele and Tatu and … Madonna), who did such a fantastic job. His goal was credited to No. 1, who’s not listed on the scoresheet. Scott Dolbee and Clark Sandlin scored for Fugaweez. John Ward had an assist.

Patriots 1, Snipers 0 (shootout): Butch Hutchison and Kyle Krumm (can hardly read this name, so apologies to Kyle; blame above-mentioned LeMoine) hit the net in a shootout to lift the undefeated Patriots. Goalie Jon Ellis saw just five shots and stopped them all. Snipers goalie Pat Donaghue was even better, stopping 21 of 21.

Stingers 5, Brewzers 1: Scott Childress scored twice and Greg Carter had a goal and two assists for the Stingers. Childress’ goals late in the third put the game out of reach. Other goals came from Jason Isham and Scott Castleberry. Isham also notched an assist.

Wolverines 7, Komets 2: Few details available on this game cuz the scoresheet got cut off. However, we had a good seat for this one and can testify it was a damned rout.

Ice Holes 3, Blue Devils 0: We had a good seat for this one, too, and can testify it was a damned rout. The hapless Devils managed just eight shots to the Holes’ 43. Ouch. Greg Hunt had a pair of goals, unassisted, and Dave Base had the other (assist Joan Crook and Jason Junker). Hunt also managed a crafty (and uncalled) hook in the nice young man who broke free behind the Ice Holes' defense and had an open shot on goal.

Phantoms 8, REDRUM 0: We hope the beer was cold after this one, Redrummers. John Lloyd had the hat trick for Phantoms. Jay Peters added a pair as the Phantoms remained undefeated and tied for first place. Other goals: Greg “The Hook” Hunt, Cory Howard and someone whose name we can’t read. We’ll call him Chris DeBaene. Goalie Jesse Gonzales was perfect but faced just 11 shots. As for REDRUM, well, they led in penalties.
