- W.I.G. (4-0) – Team W.I.G., whose team name holds very true, finds themselves in the top spot for the second week in a row. Put up their highest point total of the year with 25. Robert Passinato led the team with 10. They are one of three undefeated teams left.
- Team Coht (3-1) – Team Coht won by 5 against Steph with Too Much Curry this week. They were led by Dennis Hickey and Stephen Sinclair, combining for 22 points. They were able to neutralize Torian James on their way to victory.
- TKN (4-0) – The Tri Kappa Nu team beat the Butter Burger Hoopers in a top-6 matchup by 2. The final score was 16-14, a surprisingly low score for two teams that averaged over 30. TKN is the second of three undefeated teams left on this list.
- Funkytown (4-0) – The Towne won in the game of the week against the Cherry Up Men by a single point. Down by 7 halfway through the game, Funkytown relied on Rocco Caputo and Charlie Gish to force a comeback win. They are the final undefeated team on this list.
- Cherry Up Men (2-2) – The Cherry Up Men lost a heartbreaker to Funkytown. The Cherry Up Men shot themselves in the foot with a couple of missed layups late in the game. Jack Kaplan never found his rhythm in this game. The Cherry Up Men’s schedule won’t get any easier when they play Team Coht next week.
- Butter Burger Hoopers (3-1) – The Butter Burger Hoopers suffered a heartbreaking loss to TKN by 2 points. In a surprisingly low scoring game where baskets were of very high value, two late turnovers ended the Butter Burger Hoopers chances of winning.
- GSU Antelopes (2-2) – The GSU Antelopes got to .500 for the first time this year thanks to a Handlers forfeit. The Antelopes will have a tough time staying at .500, though, especially after a tough matchup with Funkytown next week.
- Caillou’s Boys (3-1) ↑3 – Calliou’s Boys cracked the top 10 for the first time this season. They played a highly entertaining game to beat West Side Dynasty, putting up a weekly-high of 58. Finn Goodman and Charlie Graham combined for 42, with Johann Meisnner also adding 10 points of his own.
- Chinless Hooligans (2-2) ↓1 – The Chinless Hooligans lost by 5 to the league’s top team. Credit to them for keeping it close, though, as most teams fail to score 20 on Team W.I.G.
- Handlers (2-2) ↓1 – The Handlers lost by forfeit to the GSU Antelopes. Although this game wasn’t technically played, it could have big implications on tournament seeding, especially since these teams are so similar.
- Puck Bandits (3-1) ↑1 – The Puck Bandits ran through the Big Basketball Champs, making this week their third straight double digit victory. The Puck Bandits have been on the rise and are definitely not a team to reckon with.
- Steph with Too Much Curry (1-3) ↓2 – Steph with Too Much Curry is now on a three game skid. Many people won’t expect much from them, but when you look at who they lost to, this could be a sneaky team with the experience to win games.
- Kramer’s Kids (3-1) ↑1 – Kramer’s Kids won by forfeit this week against the Ball Boys. They find themselves two games above .500. Credit to them for getting to 3-1, but we’ll see how long they can keep it up.
- Jugg Messiahs (2-3) ↑1 – The Jugg Messiahs topped the Knickerbockers this week with a score of 25-20. They were led by Huston O’Neil’s 14 points and 5 points from Shiestey ‘Shuttlesworth’ Steegs.
- O-Blockerz (3-2) ↑3 – The O-Blockers swept their double header Sunday by beating Legends of Ga’Hoole in the first game 27-21 and the Taj Tusslers 32-31 in the second game. Brennan Riley had 11 in the first game and Bobby Alzamora had 23 in the second with 7 threes.
- Taj Tusslers (2-2) ↓3 – The Taj Tusslers lost in an absolute nail biter against the O-Blockerz. The final score was 32-31, but some questionable officiating left the Tusslers asking for a few extra minutes to try and get the win.
- Ball Boys (1-2) – The Ball Boys lost by forfeit this week to Kramer’s Kids because they didn’t have enough players to field a team. Hopefully the Ball Boys can make their games in the second half of the season so they don’t get booted.
- Brown Shirts (1-3) ↑2 – The Brown Shirts found their first win of the year against the Brick Boys, winning by a score of 25-20. Hopefully they can win a few more going into the tournament.
- Brick Boys (1-3) ↓3 – The Brick Boys lost to the Brown Shirts’ freshman squad by 5. Since week 2, the Brick Boys have fallen more than anyone else in the Power Rankings, and deservedly so.
- Knickerbockers (0-4) ↓1 – The Knickerbockers couldn’t handle Cogan’s Juggs and lost by 5. The Bockers are one of two winless senior teams and have been nothing short of disappointing this season.
- Big Basketball Champs (0-4) – The Big Basketball Champs lost by 18 to the Puck Bandits. They have not yet claimed their first victory of the year, but have some winnable games coming up in week 6 and week 7.
- Legends of Ga’Hoole (0-4) – The Legends of Ga’Hoole lost by 6 to the O-Blockerz. The Legends don’t live up to their name in the slightest, being the worst senior team in the league.
- West Side Dynasty (0-4) – West Side Dynasty lost in the most lop-sided fashion of the week. Although they put up 29, they still only halved Caillou’s Boys’ 58. Quinn Brown’s 14 points weren’t enough to overcome the deficit.
Girls Rankings:
- Ballers (3-0) – The Ballers won this past week on a forfeit but they still played a full game and won against Homie Hoopers even though the other team only had 4 players.
- Babytron’s Finest (2-1) – Babytron’s Finest had a bye week this past weekend because the team they were supposed to play got kicked out of the league for forfeiting.
- The Kennedys (3-0) – The Kennedys remain in the third spot this week because they did not play a game.
- Slayups (3-0) – The Slayups won this week over the Barty Parties 14-8. They had a great all around team performance.

- Bofa Ballers (0-4) – The Bofa Ballers lost again this week because they had to forfeit.
