With just three weeks left in the regular season, the Men’s Twilite League is ramping up to be a hotly-contested one with seven of the 32 teams within three points of the top spot.
The Bob Gray/Jerry York team leads the Els Early League, followed by the Bob Askren/Vaughn Putnam team. In the Michelson Middle League, the Marty Bouchard/Mike Fogarty team is edging the Gabe Goodwin/Dan Peabody team by just a point. And, the P.J. Madore/Nick Skehan team leads the Love Late League by three points over the Flewelling brothers.
