Fred came out on top with a 91.06-85.00 victory to hand Godrichp their fifth straight loss.

Godrichp came back to take the lead during the early round of games on Sunday, powered by Baker Mayfield (20.9 points) and Matt Prater (16). Unphased, Fred made a run later that night, as the Kansas City Chiefs defense (14 points) put them back ahead once and for all. Fred (3-4) will look to sustain their momentum against tails, while Godrichp (1-6) will attempt to generate some positive momentum against goodspeed.
