Spring 2026 Mays Landing Co****le League: Weeks 6 & 7 Recap
The longest league night of the spring. Forty-seven games on four courts, the rest of Week 6 played first, and a full Week 7 right behind it. Boards stayed dry this time. Temperatures dropped a little, lawn chairs got pulled in closer, and the lot stayed full from a quarter past seven all the way to ten. By the time the last bag landed, the regular season was over, and the playoff bracket was locked.
Four teams sat out. Shuck Your Co****le, Mother Shuckers, and Hole Patrol each picked up another 0-4 for the week. Barnyard Baggers were in Las Vegas this weekend. Krista and Chuck got married, and Krista’s daughter, Hailey, was along for the trip. Big weekend for that family. Congrats to all three of you.
Back to Black caught a small breakout in the absences. With two of the missing teams scheduled to play them tonight, M&M ended up with a forfeit win on the card. They paired it with two played wins to finish 3-3, which was enough to climb two spots up the cumulative.
Now the storylines.
Splash Bros. went 6-0 and finished the regular season 28-0. Charles and Dutty are the second team in nine seasons of this league to make it through a full regular season without a loss. Crackle and Pop did it in Spring 2024 and went on to win the playoffs 28-0, too. Charles and Dutty came up under that team years before they joined this league. Two more weeks of bracket play, and we find out if they can match their teachers. They walked through Lucky Sacks 24-14, BagStreet Boys 22-10, Ginger Ash Tornado 21-1, Back to Black 26-1, Natural Corn Killers 22-4, and a 27-7 closer over Corndoggs. They say they were tied or behind in three of those games before the bags went where they needed to go in the closing rounds.
The comeback. Round two on Court 2. These Effin’ Guys versus Born Fish. Bill and Mike were down 17 - 0. Round three started, and they put up ten in a single round to start the climb. Two rounds later, 21 to 20, Effin’ Guys winners. Best comeback of the spring. Half the lot was watching the last frame.
Air Mail finished 5-0. Ryan and Brandon opened with a 21-18 over Baggin Dragons, a 22-0 over Nuthin Butt Holes, and three more wins by 14 plus. The team that limped out of Week 6 turned around and finished the regular season undefeated tonight.
DEEZ NUTS went 5-1. Brandon and Ray dropped one to Born Fish in the second round and ran the rest of the night. 24-12 over Fairways. 23-1 over Lucky Sacks. 24-1 over Natural Corn Killers. 23-0 shutout over Department of Bagriculture for good measure.
BagStreet Boys hung three shutouts. Anthony and Brian blanked. We thought the sign said Corndogs 23-0, Baggin Dragons 27-0, and Tossin’ Turtles 21-0. Beat Lucky Sacks 24-4 in between. Lost the 22-10 to Splash Bros. Third in the cumulative locked.
Fairways went 4-1 with one of the highest single-game point totals of the night. Ray dropped a 12-24 to DEEZ NUTS, then hung 28 on Tossin’ Turtles. Beat Lucky Sacks 22-17 in their lone close game.
Your Hole is My Goal also 4-1. Greg and Mark beat Natural Corn Killers 23-5, Department of Bagriculture 26-16 and 23-13, and Ginger Ash Tornado 23-1. Lost only the 11-22 to These Effin’ Guys.
Born Fish recovered after the comeback loss. Chas and Mary went 23-12 over DEEZ NUTS, 27-3 over Tossin’ Turtles, and 26-3 over Back to Black. The 7-21 to Air Mail at the end was the only other loss.
Lucky Sacks pulled the toughest 4-game stretch of the night. Justin played five top-five teams in his six games. The lone win came against We thought the sign said Corndogs 22-5. Held ninth in the cumulative anyway.
Department of Bagriculture finished 2-3 with Justin and Ray standing in for Trevor. The 23-3 over Corndoggs to open and 23-8 over We thought the sign said Corndogs were the wins. Baggin Dragons spent the last two weeks battling Barnyard Baggers and Department of Bagriculture for the tenth A bracket seed, and the 2-3 night was enough to get them there. Caitlyn and Victoria edged Corny Bastards 23-16 in the closest game of the night outside of the comeback, and Corndoggs finished 2-3.
Corny Bastards finished 2-2 with the only positive differential in the B bracket tonight. Lauren and partner shut down Ginger Ah Tornado 20-1 and closed the night 24-11 over Back to Black.
Natural Corn Killers, Ginger Ash Tornado, Tossin’ Turtles, We thought the sign said Corndogs, and Nuthin Butt Holes ran into the buzz saw. NCK got the lone win in the group, 21-5 over Tossin’ Turtles late.
Heads up for the playoffs. Subs are not allowed unless your opponent agrees. If they say no, you can ghost the bag (throw your missing partner’s bags solo) or take the loss for that round. Plan ahead.
Quick housekeeping ask: pick up bottle caps around the boards before you leave. Kneble’s Auto shares the lot the other six days of the week, and a stray cap finds its way into a tire pretty quick.
Top ten in the cumulative go to the A bracket: Splash Bros., DEEZ NUTS, BagStreet Boys, Fairways, Air Mail, These Effin’ Guys, Your Hole is My Goal, Born Fish, Lucky Sacks, Baggin Dragons. Eleven through twenty-three head to the B bracket: Barnyard Baggers, Department of Bagriculture, Ginger Ash Tornado, Back to Black, Corndoggs, Natural Corn Killers, Corny Bastards, Tossin’ Turtles, Nuthin Butt Holes, Shuck Your Co****le, We thought the sign said Corndogs, Mother Shuckers, Hole Patrol.
A few margins worth knowing. Baggin Dragons and Barnyard Baggers came into the night tied at 10-13, with Barnyard Baggers holding the tenth seed on total points. The Vegas trip cost them. If Krista and Chuck had played and gone even 2-3 themselves, they would have held the A bracket spot. Department of Bagriculture finished twelfth at 9-19, but they outscored tenth-seeded Baggin Dragons 370 to 351 across the season. Twelve teams finished with fewer total points than DoB. The win column is what kept them out. Up at the top, Fairways and Air Mail both finished 22-6 and are split into the four and five seeds by 46 total points. These Effin Guys and Your Hole is My Goal both finished 20-8 and are split into six and seven by 31. Without the 17-0 comeback, Bill and Mike would have finished 19-9 instead.
Records reset to 0-0 for the playoffs. The cumulative gets you in your bracket ,and that’s it. From here, the bracket games decide everything. Cumulative will continue to track, but it does not affect bracket placement going forward. Weeks 8 and 9 (May 14 and May 21) determine your seeding for the double elimination championship on May 28. A bracket champions get their names added to the permanent plaques at Freddy J’s.
Round one of the playoffs runs Thursday, May 14, at 7 PM. Same lot, fresh stakes, two brackets, one champion in each.
Dollar wings, two-dollar Yuenglings, and buckets of High Noon, Stateside, Surfside, and beer at Freddy J’s every Thursday. Late-night happy hour around 9 when the games wrap. Last Thursday, it was closer to 10 because the round count was twice as high.
Thanks to Freddy J’s Bar and Kitchen and Kneble’s Auto Service Center for the lot, the boards, and another full season of Thursdays.
