Week 1 is in the books, and what a start. Scores are rolling in, games are getting played, and already I can already smell a few rivalries brewing. That’s the good stuff.

Now, let’s talk standouts. Isham from the Motor City Sharpshooters dropped a cool 196. Not to be outdone, Murph over with the San Diego Garage Crew posted a 198. Suddenly, the 200 mark looks less like a ceiling and more like the next step on the ladder - especially now that you’ve got six balls to work with. A lesser man would make a cheap joke here. Luckily for you, I’m a professional. At least, that’s what HR keeps reminding me.

But don’t sleep on the new blood. I’ve been watching the stat sheets, and I see a handful of fresh faces already racking up scores in the 80s despite barely logging 10 games on the Elite. Call it a hunch, but I think they’re going to be the X-factors once this league stretches into the later weeks. Nothing like a dark horse to keep the veterans honest.

So keep those shots coming, keep those scores high, and remember—this isn’t just Pop-A-Shot, this is history in the making. And history, kids, has a funny way of rewarding the grinders.
