CRUTCH TIME IN THE IPA
September is here... with only one more week of play... and all the marbles are on the table... it's do-or-die time in the IPA... only two clubs have cinched division flags... two others are close to nailing down a playoff spot... and four divisions are still up for grabs at this late date.

Valmara (92-55) was victorious in the Ruthlandian North, beating preseason favorite Glasco (84-63) by a whopping 8 games... as expected Turon (87-60) trounced everybody in the Tycobbian South, capturing it with ease by 13 games over Cape Coral (74-73)... in the Ruthlandian East the Elnora All-Stars (84-63) are 6 games up on preseason favorite Wynnamac (78-69) with 7 games to go and in the Tycobbian North race favored Oxford (83-64) is ahead by 6 games over North Hills (77-70) and Luxora (77-70).

In the Ruthlandian South Division the St. John Crusaders (84-63) have a 2-game edge over preseason pick Crystal Lake (82-65)... last year's division winner Waleska (77-70) is 7 games out and only has an outside chance in the pennant race.

It a super-tight tussle in the Ruthlandian West with 5 teams still technically in it, however only three really have a shot... highly-improbable Fort Benton (82-65) is currently in the driver's seat, but only one game better than preseason choice and reigning Pro Cup champion Middlefield (81-66)... and the Sligo Rovers (80-67) trail by just 2 games in third place... Volusia (75-72) and Forest City (75-72) are both on very, very thin ice and are 7 games off the pace.

The Tycobbian East and Tycobbian West have barnburners going... the Red Bluff Red Sox (85-62), one of the surprise teams this season, is still on top in the East, but last year's champ and this year's favorite Midway (84-63) is only one game off the pace... the High Mesa Mustangs (82-65) are also chomping on the bit, just 3 games back in the race... fourth place East Point is a distant 7 games out and not likely to win... and finally the Cinderella Rolling Hills Reds (90-57) and preseason pick Denton City (90-57) are deadlocked for the top spot in the West with only 7 games to go in the regular season.
