Game three of week 8 was Dad Bod Elites taking on EJ’s Helldivers. Both teams are headed in opposite directions, as DBE came into this game losing their last two after starting the season 5-0. After a hellish, injury plagued start to the season, Helldivers have been rounding into form and came into this week winners of their last two. DBE was missing Etheridge, who has been playing at an MVP level this season and Helldivers were missing Butterworth. 

Helldivers looked good to start things off, Kap had a tough and-1 and Ron was getting his spots off the dribble for midrange jumpers. DBE was getting buckets from Kielley, Glynn and Frano to keep the deficit manageable. Offense was at a premium early on as both teams were struggling to score. Helldivers maintained a single digit lead for the entirety of the first half despite some big threes from Glynn and Carey. EJ went into the half up 26-19. 

Coming out the break Ej’s team continued to hold the lead. Kap and Skelley had the pick and roll game working and Skelley was controlling the glass. A three and bucket from Dias cut the lead to five. However, DBE continued to shoot themselves out of the game, and would finish out 4-28 from deep. Helldivers were not much better, but were doing enough on the defensive end to hang on to and eventually build on the lead. The lead would build to 10+ and EJ would walk away with their 2^nd consecutive win and are looking strong heading towards the playoffs.

Game 2 of Week 6 was a showdown between the two top dogs in the league, two undefeated teams in Cundall’s Big & Rich and Eth’s Dad Bods. Both teams were fully staffed for this clash of the Over30 titans.

The dynamic big man combo of JMul and Matt Roberts kicked things off with a pair of buckets for B&R but DBE responded with a tough floater from Eth and a 3 from Kielley. B&R went on a 10 point run, sparked by an and-1 from Cody, a three from Cundall and buckets by Roberts and J Mul. Roberts was having his way with Frano in the post early using his size and strength to get buckets down low. After another Cundall 3, B&R had a 7 point lead. The momentum shifted to DBE late in the first half as Eth and company closed the gap to 4. Stull got fouled on a three pointer late in the first half with a chance to cut the lead to 1, but unfortunately missed all 3 free throws and B&R went into the half up 4.

DBE made a push early in the second half after an Eth drive and kick found Dias for a nice corner 3. Eth and Frano had buckets and DBE were able to tie the game. Eth had a beind the back dine to Frano for an easy layup. Frano had a great second half, using his finesse around the rim on his way to 10 second half points. Midway through the 2^nd half B&R had a two point lead. Cody hit 3 big three pointers late in the half to extend the lead and Roberts hit his 2^nd three of the half to push the lead to nearly double digits. With 2 minutes left, Cody hit the front end of a 1 and 1 to put the lead up to 10 and that would be enough to put the game away. B&R remains undefeated at the top of the league.
