Game 2 pitted the winners Freeborn, Santore, Stuhltrager & Folmar against Marcus, AJ Ready Wright, (new father) Jules Corneilius & Dave Papp. Game 2 was dominated by Nicky Santore. He scored 10 on 71% shooting, while grabbing 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. The opposition shot only 20% from the floor.

Game 3, the beginnings of a dynasty were solidified with the addition of Keith McMenamin to the squad of Freeborn, Santore, Stuhltrager & Folmar. They will be known here as FMSFS. The new challengers: Jon Hummel, Tim Gleeson, Ethan Conner-Ross, Dominic Fuscia and Andrew Jones looked like a epic matchup worth of the final day of Season 9. The challengers got out to a quick start and FMSFS came back to tie at 6. Jon Hummel went down with a knee twister and AJ Wright subbed in for a few minutes. Nicky Santore continued hie streak from game 2, scoring 8 on 50% shooting. Freeborn pitched in with 5. Hummel, even with the time out, scored 7 points while shooting 60%. But, Justin Stuhltrager pulled 6 boards from the guard spot and help keep FMSFS on the floor for the win.

Game 4 was not the ugliest game in AFBL history, but when both teams combine to shoot 22.9% is hurts. FMSFS kept the dream alive winning their 4th straight. This time they used a more balanced attack-Freeborn with 3, McMenamin with 2, Santore with 4, Folmar with 3 and Stuhltrager dropping 5. The new challengers: A Jones (who went 0 for 6 from threeland), Marcus (did everything: 2 points & 5 rebounds), AJW (0 for 5) Jules Cornelius, and Dave Papp couldn’t keep pace.

Game 5 was the ultimate battle and last stand of team FMSFS. The team of Ethan Conner-Ross, Andrew Jones, Dominic Fuscia, Dave Papp and Tim Gleeson presented a serious game for a team who was about to play their 5th straight. The game was tight for a while and the score ended up at 10 to 10. At that point the dynasty squad took over and scored the final 6 to secure the victory. Freeborn & Santore scored 6 a piece and Folar finished the job with 4 more. The challengers had trouble scoring late and ended up shooting 31% from the field. At this point the team of FMSFS had be be dismantled due to salary cap issues.
