The Wests team, made up of Matiland Mustangs players, prevailed 62-47 in a high-scoring and highly entertaining game.
The win confirms Stangas as premiership favourites with wins against all their top four rivals except the second placed George who they meet on September 19 the week before the semi-finals and grand final weekend on September 26-27.
The George and NVY Comets remain three points behind Stangas in second and third after both recorded comfortable wins on Saturday.

In the final game Quarry Bar & Grill had a 48-36 win over Alcobolics.
