WestSide Ballers 64 v GITYL 54; POG | Vontae Armstrong; 30 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals in the win. Once a hero in the recreational division, now a go-to-guy in the competitive men’s division.

MBAllers – 51 v MYMP (Make Ya Momma Proud) – 41; POG | Jakob; 15 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks in the win

Raw Warriors – 80 v DE-TROIT! – 74; POG | Jordan Rush; 17 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block in the win. Early and often RW went to Rush, defended against Larry Johnson, and scored easy buckets. Once teammates now rivals, Johnson and Rush, look to stay atop their divisions. [pictured center]

Chipping in for DE-TROIT! was Chris Smith 15 points and three assists in the loss.

Suspects make lunch meat outta Bring It On

Usual Suspects – 108

Bring it On – 40

Usual Suspects terrorize Bring It On right from the start. The combination of Mark Jones and Will Kieffer has been the focal point for this group. Since the inaugural season the combo has overpowered and out skilled other big men. In addition, the return of Carlyle Holiday to the mix was a big surprise as the competition gets tighter.

Bring It On must have forgotten to bring something, okay pretty lame, but so was their play. Down by as many as twenty points in the first half, Bring It On, may reconsider a name change.

Leading the pack was three point specialist James Ellison 18 points, but only managed to shot .259% from the field.

POG | - Mark Janetta; 30 points, 4 assists, 2 steals and made 8 3pt field goals in the win (a game of the ages)

Jose Acumabig #38 defends against the MBAllers in the recreational division

Champs fall in opener to possible replacement Armada squad

The Armada – 81

Hoop Dreams | Reality – 71

Team captain’s Jesse Tyler and Joesph Tucker know each other all too well. Both players knew what was at steak, a potential lead in the head-to-head match up.

The Armada came out firing it up from beyond the arc to take the early lead and never looked back.

Aaron Watson of Hoop Dreams kept it close finishing with 32 points, 10 rebounds and shot .684% from the field.

Despite the lack of depth at the point guard and missing Mr. 57 (Chris Anderson), Hoop Dreams never stood a chance against the seasoned vet play of Chris Freemen in the post. Freemen added 21 points and nine rebounds in the win.

Back to the drawing board for the Recreational Division Champs, Hoop Dreams.

POG | Jesse Tyler; 23 points, 5 rebounds and a perfect 7 – 7 from the free throw line

Team chemistry is key, as No Mercy defeats HOV with late game heroics

No Mercy – 63

HOV – 46

Do we all remember the President’s Day spectacle? A great game but it sent the message.

No Mercy will defend its title to all teams in the competitive division. House of Vibe is coming close to earning that first victory over No Mercy but it wasn’t this night.

Leading early thanks to Josh Hover spectacular shooting, House of Vibe took an early lead 20 – 15 in the first half.

Hover finished with 14 points and 7 rebounds in the loss.

Late arriving Moses proved that a full game is not needed to post a double-double. Moses entered the game raw from the start, no stretching or warm-up shots and still managed to shoot .636% on 7 – 11 from the field.

A strange game from the start but a familiar result at the end as No Mercy pulled away to defeat the HOV by seventeen points.

POG | Moses; 17 points, 11 rebounds, 1 steal and perfect from beyond the arc and free throw line.

LEAGUE NOTES: All players be sure to arrive early prior to the tip-off to prevent delay. A technical foul will be assessed to the tardy team and play will commence shortly after. Playerz and Fanz be sure to keep the facility clean for our next event. For questions or concerns see your nearest Hoopz Staff member.
