For the first time in a very long while, a different (but familiar) team sits atop the KVKL rankings. Pita Pit had an amazing run, and just by habit, I nearly put them at #1. The regular season will end with a highly anticipated Game of the Week, which should get the entire league pumped for the Playoffs! 1. Love Garden 2. Pita Pit 3. Los Luchadores 4. Sacred Sword 5. Screamers 6. Yello Sub 7.…

Not a whole lot of movement this week, as Eldridge was the only top 15 squad to beat someone ranked ahead of them. Once the smoke clears from the Love Garden vs. Pita Pit game, there will only be one undefeated team left standing. Will anyone finish the season 10-0? 1. Pita Pit 2. Love Garden 3. Los Luchadores 4. Screamers 5. Sacred Sword- They're coming out of the toughest three game stretch…

I had to think for a couple days before posting these, and I'm still not sure what's right beyond the top 3. It's tough to compare a team losing to a 1-seed with a team beating a 2 0r 3-seed.  I'd love to read some different opinions from my fellow kickball junkies, so don't be shy. 1. Pita Pit- facing their toughest opponent yet on Sunday. 2. Love Garden 3. Los Luchadores 4. Screamers- putting…

Now that the games are more evenly matched (in theory), a loss may not drop a team as far down as it would have earlier in the season. A whole string of losses could be a different story, however, and there's still time for teams to catch fire and climb the ladder. As always, discuss, critique, or post some rankings of your own. 1. Pita Pit 2. Love Garden 3. Los Luchadores- yep, Deron was definitely…
