by Buzzer-Manager
Idiots and Hooligans Hit 130, Ostriches and Mildcats Dominate, and Wavy Gates Get Back on Track
The playoff storm is closing in—and on Day 18, the statement wins were loud. Village Idiots unleashed fury on southpaw, Hemet Hooligans dropped 130 on Big Forest, and Corntucky and Flying Ostriches bullied their way to convincing victories. The scoreboard was messy. The message? Time to separate contenders from collapse.
Idiots Obliterate southpaw army, Again
126–46. No typo. The Village Idiots unloaded on a collapsing southpaw squad and never looked back. Led by A. Pugh (22–10–6) and B. Dooley’s all-around gem (17–6–10), the Idiots posted a season-high 62 rebounds and 39 assists in what was pure domination. Three players had 3+ steals. It was basketball surgery.
Hooligans Hang 130 on Big Forest
S. Overton and T. Murrell lit up the box score again as the Hooligans steamrolled Big Forest 130–100. It was an offensive showcase, with Hemet playing fast, loose, and lethal. Martone’s rim protection for Big Forest? Nonexistent. The Hooligans are starting to look dangerous at the right time.
Flying Ostriches Blast the Mambas
The Ostriches soared past The White Mambas 129–84 behind D. Inceris’s monstrous 25 & 21 night—sharing MVP honors for the evening. It was pace, power, and poise from start to finish. This team’s ceiling is rising by the game.
Mildcats Maul Harbor City Storm
Corntucky clamped down on defense and buried Harbor City 106–81. V. Fraser went nuclear: 18 points, 19 boards, 4 steals, 4 blocks—and shared MVP honors. Add T. McDermott’s 11 assists and Fraser’s ironman 48-minute shift, and you’ve got a two-way clinic.
TAR HEELS #1 Smash Irregulars in Rivalry Rout
TAR HEELS #1 got revenge in emphatic fashion, crushing Baker Street 109–74. The Heels were crisp and aggressive—Irregulars just looked stunned. T. Gibbs fouled out with 6 personals and bottomed out with a 5.0 rating. Momentum shift? Possibly.
Wavy Gates Calm the Storm with Statement Win
Needing a bounce-back, Wavy Gates crushed SomeTeam 89–61 behind elite shot-blocking (15 team blocks) and G. Martone’s 6 swats alone. Defense turned into offense, and the champs looked like champs again—for now.
Smallfries Hold Off Kings Knights in Showdown
Another marquee matchup, another Smallfries win. N. Neside dropped 33 to lead all scorers, and the Friez held off a scrappy Kings Knights squad 121–112. No gaudy defense—just offense, firepower, and playoff poise. Friez are 2–0 this week vs playoff-caliber teams.
Wasted Potential Handle Blue Ocean Easily
Wasted Potential rebounded with a clean 109–85 win over Blue Ocean. I. Grikpedis and L. Pelowski both drained 5 threes, as WP kept the pace and found their groove again. Blue Ocean’s inconsistency is becoming a concern.
Key Takeaways
• Village Idiots just posted the biggest margin of victory in weeks.
• Hemet Hooligans have now scored 125+ in back-to-back games.
• Smallfries are officially a juggernaut—Neside’s been untouchable.
• Corntucky’s inside-out dominance is becoming a real playoff threat.
• Wavy Gates remembered who they are.
• southpaw, Mambas, and SomeTeam—blown out, again. Trouble.
Final Word:
It was a bloodbath for the bottom feeders and a flex-fest for the contenders. Idiots, Hooligans, Ostriches, Friez, Mildcats—they’re all peaking. Meanwhile, southpaw, Mambas, and SomeTeam have officially flatlined.
One thing’s clear heading into the home stretch: the playoff-bound are no longer just winning—they’re sending messages.
