Week 3 wrap Up

Week 3 dealt some heart breakers as some win less teams hoped to put one in the "W" column, but things don't always go as planned...

Game 1 was supposed to be the "game to watch", but the BUCKEYES, who must have thought they were playing the BOBCATS again, were no match for "Stormin Norman's" 20 points that led the TIGERS to a 16 point victory. Chad "Mo Money" Mobley led the way with 15 for the BUX, who are still arguing whether their guards or their big men should be shooting the ball.

In Game 2, the BOBCATS looked to run early on the much bigger and slower number 22 of EAGLES, spreading the scoring out with all 9 BOBCATS putting points on the board. The EAGLES, led by ONE, yes one 3, and a key block from Brian I refuse to run Jones, and 13 points in the paint from Robert "Big Man" Dalley, held off a late game charge from the BOBCATS and eventually pulled away to win by 5. After the game, both coaches were asked to report to the league commissioner's office on Monday, as rumors of referee betting scandals started to emerge.

Game 3 dealt another win less team a heart breaker as the BULLS tried to get off the skid against the hot left hand of Shaun Easter and his HUSKIES. BULLS coach Doug Jones attempted to spark his team with some vocal leadership (sometimes directed at the ref), but it too often fell on def ears as the HUSKIES led by some tough boards from Kojo "KC" Cobb and Jason "Stackhouse" Stockunas won easily by 23. After the game, BULLS coach Jones said that his team is looking forward their upcoming East Coast road trip.

The Matinee match gave us what game 2 failed to, as the game of the week. Tempers flared and bodies hit the floor as the HEELS looked to pull off an upset on the road against Wiley's WILDCATS. The HEELS came out shooting as Coach Kemelgor showed his personal confidence firing from downtown early and often. Some good inside out play from She' "lighting bolt" Richmond and Jarred change my name to "make the dunk" Meeks kept the HEELS close. In the end though, 12 pts from the often unmarked Jade "layups" Templeton and some key shooting off the bench from Nard Wylie helped the WILDCATS secure a 5 point victory.

Teams hit the road this week to begin inter league play in a 4 week stand before coming home to conference rematches.
