Congratulations, Stones!

Steve's Stones capped off a commanding 2nd half performance by winning the second championship in franchise history, joining David's Copperfields, Dem Rebels, David's Ruffins, and Eric's Lambchops as the only two-time league champs.

At the season's halfway point, the Stones held a slim 1.5 point lead, only recently having moved into the top spot. A week later, the lead had grown to 12.5 points, and for the rest of the season never fell below 8.5 points. The Stone's final 12.5 point margin of victory was the third highest ever, and marked just the 4th time in the CFCL's 25-year history that the Champion finished with a double-digit lead over the second place team.

Speaking of the second place team, back when the Stones were beginning their second half surge, Mo's Red Hots sat in 8th place. However, while teams above them in the standings turned toward next year and started dumping, the Red Hots went to work on their current squad, adding talent via trades and free agent acquisitions, and began a surge of their own. Over the next five periods they picked up 20 points and injected themselves into the pennant race. They fell short in the end, but deserve kudos for their attempt.

Congrats to the Stones, nice try to the Hots, and thanks to everyone else for taking part in the CFCL's 25th season.
