The top four virtually remained the same except Liberty Pines and Swiss Point switching places.
Both Liberty Pines and Fruit Cove continually put up 50 points a game on some of the weaker teams and remain the top two offensive scoring teams.
The good news is only one more week until the top four teams finally play. No more 50 point blowouts at least for a week.
