New Rules
I can handle people insulting me on the comments section, but it has now reached the point of attacking other people and I am not going to allow this to potentially happen any more. As a result, I have made a change to the comment section. From now on, Blogger will send me all comments that people leave, and I will have to approve them before they appear on the site. I'm sorry that it takes a few jerks to have to do this for everyone, but I've warned everyone about this before and now I need to take action. If you leave a comment and it's clean, as most of them usually are, I will post it right away. Thanks for understanding.

Baller of the Week: Week 8
Congratulations to Jared Dawson for winning Baller of the Week! In team's game against Team Hegeman, Jared made eight three pointers, and had 30 points overall, to lead Team Dawson to a 62-38 win. His eight three pointers are a GD Rec Basketball record. Nice job Jared!

Scores: Week 8
Some low scoring games this week, which means the defensive effort has surely been increased by most teams; with playoffs right around the corner this is a good way to increase anyone's chances of winning. Stat of the week: Team Stewart shot 24 free throws while Team DeLuca shot only 4. Pretty crazy. Also, be sure to check the updated standings on the sidebar to the right!
Calderan 44 Mahan 32
This was a 3 point game with about 8 minutes left, then Team Calderan pulled away for good.
Debreceni 62 Icenogle 42
Dustin McEvoy had 20, and Mike Allen had 18. Every player scored for Team Debreceni. Team Icenogle was short handed with no Tom DeNatale.
Jarboe 35 MacLeod 33
Team MacLeod had a layup at the buzzer that didn't fall, as Team Jarboe escaped without Griffin Modzelewski.
Stewart 50 DeLuca 41
Eric Rahnasto had four fouls in the first half which limited his aggressiveness in the second half while covering Mark Robinson, who had 20 points.
Dawson 62 Hegeman 38
Team Dawson cashed in on eleven three pointers, including a GD Rec Basketball record eight from point guard Jared Dawson, who had 30 points in the win.
Hill 43 Wright 26
Team Wright struggled mightily on offense, scoring the least amount of points for a team in rec ball this season.
Stevens 47 Werner 40
A hot shooting performance in the first half led to a 15 point lead for Team Stevens, even with Matt Plausse and Curran Huff in the house for Team Werner. Devin Goudey led his team with 20, while Team Stevens had a balanced day on offense, with no players scoring in double digits.

Game Picks: Week 8
Stewart (7-0) vs. DeLuca (5-2)
Based on the way these two teams have played this year, this one looks like it could be quite a battle. They have contrasting styles of play, so whoever can control the tempo will likely win the game. Ultimately, I think it comes down to the glaring mismatch in Mark Robinson's favor: Team DeLuca really has no one to cover him. Never count out Team DeLuca, but I don't know how they can pull it off if they have no answer for M-Robs.
Stewart 54 DeLuca 53
Dawson (6-1) vs. Hegeman (1-6)
Team Dawson has so many scoring options, while Team Hegeman's offense runs almost exclusively through Anthony Cotoni. Conor Enright has the size to slow down Cotoni and allow Mitchell and Jared Dawson to have solid efforts offensively in an easy win.
Dawson 61 Hegeman 44
Icenogle (3-4) vs. Debreceni (1-6)
Battle of the giraffes. Dustin McEvoy vs. Ben Icenogle. These teams are about equal as far as I'm concerned, so I'd say it's pretty much a coin flip. Dustin has the edge over Ben, but Team Icenogle might have a better supporting cast. That being said, Dustin has averaged 28 points per game in his last two outings, so I'll go with Team Debs in a tight one.
Debreceni 45 Icenogle 42
MacLeod (1-6) vs. Jarboe (3-4)
Team MacLeod has struggled mightily without Tynan MacLeod, hopefully this will be the last week they'll have to play without him. On the other side, Team Jarboe will be without Griffin Modzelewski, but Jon Wolfe has a great opportunity to put up a season high scoring output with the mismatch he will have in his favor. Although this game might get a little ugly at times on the offensive end, I think Dan Roper fills the void left by Modzelewski beyond the arc, and Matt Aumais puts up solid numbers to help Wolfe lead the way to victory.
Jarboe 43 MacLeod 39
Mahan (1-6) vs. Calderan (5-2)
Team Mahan had their fun last week.
Calderan 64 Mahan 42
Wright (4-3) vs. Hill (7-1)
This game presents a solid matchup in terms of size. AJ Wright versus Ben Hack should be an interesting battle between lanky big guys, while the rest of each team does not have much height-- meaning it will come down to guard play. Team Hill is not a great jump-shooting team, but they attack the basket as well as anyone. Team Wright should be able to keep it close with some threes, but ultimately it won't be enough.
Hill 56 Wright 50
Werner (3-4) vs. Stevens (2-5)
At full strength, this matchup would certainly favor Team Werner, who has a huge height advantage over Team Stevens. However, Team Werner will be without big guys Curran Huff and Matt Plausse, their two of their top three scorers. I think Team Stevens can capitalize on a disadvantaged Team Werner and pull out it's third win of the season.
Stevens 48 Werner 43
O'Malley (5-2) vs. Fotino (3-4)
As has been evident by their performance thus far, Team Fotino can beat anyone or lose to anyone on any given day. So needless to say, picking the outcome of any game involving Team Fotino is a shot in the dark. On the other side, Team O'Malley has won both its' games without first round pick Shane O'Malley. I'm going to go with the law of averages and say that Team Fotino bounces back after last week, and Team O'Malley finally feels the effects of not having Shane.

Senior Project Idea
For my senior project, I was thinking of making T-Shirts that had something to do with rec ball. I would need to design the shirt (I would consider any ideas from you guys), and eventually sell them for maybe like $8. I wouldn't try to make a profit on them, so I'm just curious if people would be interested. I was thinking I could run a March Madness type bracket for rec basketball playoffs. For $10 you get a bracket and a t-shirt, and whoever fills out the best bracket wins the profits. Leave a comment if you like the idea, or have any others, because I have to submit the idea and proposal by Wednesday.
Game Picks: Week 7
***NOTE THAT THE TIMES OF SATURDAY'S GAMES AT LA HAVE BEEN MOVED UP A FEW MINUTES EACH, DUE TO AN LA VARSITY GAME THAT HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR NOON. PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY AND BE READY TO PLAY.***
Dawson (5-1) vs. MacLeod (1-5)-- Saturday, 8:00am @ LA
All you have to do is look at each team's record for this game. Team MacLeod has struggled mightily without their leader, Tynan MacLeod. Last week, Evan Pfenninger stepped up and scored 15 points-- he'll need to do that again to keep this one close. As long as Team Dawson's players know what time their game is at (unlike last week), then they should have no trouble handling Team MacLeod. Look for Conor Enright to use his size and have a big game.
Dawson 53 MacLeod 36
Jarboe (3-3) vs. O'Malley (4-2)-- Saturday, 9:10am @ LA
Playing without Shane O'Malley, Will Lamy and Steve Leonardo stepped up for Team O'Malley and led them to an exciting overtime victory last week over Team Wright. This week, they will have to duplicate their efforts against a confident Team Jarboe. I anticipate that this will be a tight game, which is something that plays to Team O'Malley's advantage, as Team Jarboe hasn't been in many close games. I think Jon Wolfe has a solid game, but Matt Hanagan plays even better, and leads his team to a win.
O'Malley 46 Jarboe 44
Werner (2-4) vs. Hegeman (1-5)-- Saturday, 10:20am @ LA
Although their records are quite similar, I think there is a significant difference in the talent level of each team. Team Werner has the potential to beat anyone when they're on their game, while Team Hegeman is sure to have a solid effort from Anthony Cotoni every week, but the potential is lacking. Team Hegeman may have the advantage in the matchup of star players, but Curran Huff and Matt Plausse provide size and scoring ability that Team Hegeman cannot match. I see Matty "Ice" Werner burying a few threes in his team's victory.
Werner 58 Hegeman 49
Stewart (6-0) vs. Icenogle (3-3)-- Saturday, 1:20pm @ MSN
With Team Stewart coming off a big win last week versus Team Calderan, I think they might sleep a little on Team Icenogle, so it could be a closer than people expect. If Tom DeNatale and Matt Ferro can hit some threes, to balance the inside scoring of Team Stewart, Team Icenogle could hang around. However, I anticipate that the size advantage of Team Stewart will be too much in the end.
Stewart 54 Icenogle 47
Fotino (3-3) vs. Mahan (0-6)-- Saturday, 2:40pm @ MSN
There is really no need to explain this one. Sorry Mike Shea....
Fotino 61 Mahan 40
Wright (4-2) vs. DeLuca (4-2)-- Sunday, 9:00am @ MSN
Team DeLuca has been scorching hot, as they come into this game on a four game winning streak. They've been distributing the ball nicely amongst themselves, and have had key contributions from several players. I haven't seen a lot of Team Wright this year, but I think they match up well with Team DeLuca, based on size. Neither team has a dominant big man to present a scoring threat down low, and each has a solid tandem of guards. I anticipate that this will be a tight game, but I will give the edge to Team DeLuca, based on the unselfish play and solid defense that they've shown recently.
DeLuca 48 Wright 47
Stevens (2-4) vs. Hill (5-1)-- Sunday, 10:15am @ MSN
Team Stevens and Team Hill match up very well. Each team has incorporated the three pointer as a large part of its offense-- thanks to Alex Marken for Team Hill, and Patrick Stevens for Team Stevens. Team Hill's advantage comes with their inside scoring ability, thanks to the Hill Bros. taking it hard to the hoop. I really think Team Stevens has a solid chance to pull the upset, but with Pete Ellerkamp questionable due to a big skiing weekend, I suppose I would have to go with Team Hill if I was a betting man.
Hill 52 Stevens 48
Calderan (4-2) vs. Debreceni (1-5)-- Sunday, 10:15am @ MSS
Reigning Baller of the Week Award winner Dustin McEvoy will need another outstanding performance, and some help from his supporting cast to give his team a shot. The difference in this game should be Team Calderan's aggressiveness, which will lead to turnovers and fast break opportunities. Playing at a small gym like Middle School South should help out Team Debreceni a little, because Team Calderan won't be able to run them quite as much, but I think Kevin Thompson has a big game to lead his team to victory.
Calderan 61 Debreceni 45

Baller of the Week: Week 6
Dustin McEvoy led Team Debreceni to it's first victory of the season, 55-52 in overtime, over the previously undefeated Team Hill. He converted an and-one opportunity with nine seconds left to give his team the lead, and several blocks on defense were key. He finished the game with 33 points, 60% of his team's total. Congratulations Dustin!
