2 Down, 6 to Go!
In game 1, Derek's prediction came true (of course), with one of the teams leaving with a 500 record. Who would it be????? Joe "the Shooter" Sprouse led another valiant effort for the BULLS with 12, (who were missing their inside presence), but in the end, were no match for the much bigger HEELS led by Jarred "I want to dunk so bad I miss it" Weeks with 16 (should have been 18-had he not moved the rim out the way).
Game 2 pitted the underdog BOBCATS, with future hall of fame coach Durst, against the perennial powerhouse TIGERS. The BOBCATS again fought hard with 15 pts from "RC" Robert Cook and tough defense from Sammy "smooth hands" Patrick, but in the end, were no match for the much faster, much bigger, much over stacked, much etc...etc...etc...TIGERS with strong contributions from Stormin Norman and Weyling White, as well as their usual scoring duo.
Game 3 gave us what could be a possible late round playoff showdown between the HUSKIES and WILDCATS. The Genz-less HUSKIES, led by some heavy 3 point shooting from Reco "pull it from anywhere" Miller, and Shaun "Lefty" Easter, both who scored in double digits, kept it close for most of the game, but fell short in the end to the WILDCATS led by the often unmarked Wes "Yellow" Ledbetter with a team high 20. Marvin "Lockdown" Locke and Jerry "Richi Rich" also scored in double digits for the WILDCATS who eventually pulled away and won by 12. The rematch of these 2 teams will undoubtedly by the game to watch in week 7. (Other than the return of BOBCATS star Coach Durst who will single handily shut down all of the TIGERS scorers)
The Matinee match showed that Coach Jones still had it in him as his lone 3 pointer and 3 blocks along with some sweet shooting from Scottie "2hottie" Morgan which kept the EAGLES close in the first half , but in the end, were no match for the over coached BUCKEYES led by 16 pts from Mike "smooth as glass" Glazier and 12 pts from Dave "Grunt work" Guffey.
