4 Divisions Up For Grabs In IPA
Going into September two divisions are signed, sealed and delivered in the Islandian Pro Alliance pennant races this season, a couple of more are likely decided and four are in doubt. Fairfax (89-48) is a runaway winner in the Tycobbian North with a whopping 13-game margin over Hartsdale (76-61), while LaGrange (82-55) has a comfortable 8-game lead over Far Mountain (74-63) in the RU North. In the RU South the St. John Crusaders (80-57) have a pretty safe 6-game edge over Grand City (74-63) and Crystal Lake (74-63). It's fairly close in the TU West where the La Claire Lynx (76-61) are up by 4 over the Kenwood Wildcats (72-65).
There's a battle royal taking place in the super-tight RU West with Fort Benton (70-67) just 2 games in front of Stoner (68-69), 3 ahead of Sligo (67-70)and Colfax (67-70) and 4 up on fifth-place Middlefield (66-71). The TU East is also hotly-contested with the Midway Wolves (77-60) and East Point Panthers (77-60) tied for the lead, followed closely by Hillsboro (75-62), just two games back in the race. Tuckanarra (72-65) is in fourth and trails by 5 games. The other two remaining divisions are two-team affairs with Summerland (76-61) holding a 3-game bulge over Turon (73-64) in the TU South and Elnora (82-55) tops Belle Plaine (80-57) by 2 in the RU East. There are 17 games left in the regular season.
