The baller of the week award for week 2 goes to Matt Tornaritis. With his second 25+ performance in as many weeks, as well as dishing out more than his fair share of assists, Matt led his team to an easy victory over Debreceni and a 2-0 record. Congratulations Matt!

Schedule Posted

The 2012-2013 Schedule has been posted.  You can view it by clicking the "Schedule" tab/link at the top of this page.  It includes game and practice times.  Games will begin this weekend.  Team practices will begin next week.  There will be open practices tonight 12/6 and tomorrow 12/7, but they will be organized by player last name.  Please check one of the previous posts for this information.

Preseason 2012-2013 Power Rankings

1. Saraceno
Saraceno has built a team that can play inside and out. They have a couple of the best big men in the league as well as two guards who know the game and can shoot from the perimeter in Kessler and Walsh. They should be a threat throughout the season and into the playoffs.

2. Dawson
 Dawson has a solid core of players who are used to playing with each other. They too should be able to play inside and out, and watch for a sleeper, Henry Judge, to make an impact throughout the season.

3. Debreceni 
Team Debrecini is littered with Recball veterans this season. A team with six seniors, and three juniors, they should have good chemistry and experience on their side in addition to their talent.

4. Stone
Stone is another team with a good amount of experience. They have some good athletes who have a good feel for the game, however they may have rebounding issues with only one player listed over 6'0.

5. Mahan
Team Mahan on the other hand should have no trouble rebounding. With the "Triple Towers " they have good size down low, but it will be interesting to see how the play of their guards works out.

6. Werner
Making a return to recball, coach Werner has a good base with players who can shoot the ball with consistency as well as play down low and rebound. Plausse and Wirta are two versatile players with those attributes.

7. Bailey
Another coach coming back to recball, coach Bailey has a team that should shoot and rebound the ball well, but I'm not sure who they plan to put at the point....

8. Gingras
In Hourani, Gingras has a player who can do a little bit of everything. This team should have good team chemistry, as they all share a love for the game, and will be sure to bring a high level of energy to every single game.

9. Stark
I don't know that anybody has seen Higgins play in years, but Stark appears to be another team with good all-around talent. The only flaw I see in this team is a potential lack of shooters.

10. Tranfaglia
Tranfaglia is a team with good rebounding forwards everywhere. The Allen brothers are a good example. However their guard play seems to be lacking.

11. Stevens
The guard tandem enters its fourth and final year as one of the best in the league. A typical team stevens, it appears to have a little bit of everything: some shooters, some bigs, some athletes. It will be interesting to see if it is a team that will be able to press and run as well as previous years.

12. Tornaritis
Tornaritis has a solid base with another one of the best guard tandems in the league. They have some athletes, but are low on bigs, which could lead to problems on the boards.

13. Dorff
Team Dorff is loaded with players that could have potential break out seasons. If Keast, Dorff, and McGlaughlin can step it up this year, they could easily spike in the power rankings.

14. Deluca
Deluca is the owner of the most experienced and versatile player in the league, Charlie Burke. He may have to, but very well could put his team on his back, and carry them to the top of the league.

Practice Times (THIS WEEK ONLY)

Team D Dawson Takes the Calderan Cup!

Kurt's team jumped out to an early 10-2 lead, but Diane's team countered with a 10-2 run of their own to tie it at 12. The two teams went back and forth, and eventually the game was knotted at 42 with about four minutes to play, after Drew Estabrook scored on back to back possessions for K Dawson. Mitch Dawson and Cedric Wirta each made three pointers to give D Dawson the lead for good at 48-42. A Dan Tomany three with a minute left cut the lead to 48-45, but Jared Sheehy sunk two clutch free throws with 20 seconds left to ice it. Diane's team won 50-45. Congratulations to both teams for an awesome game and season!

Who's Gonna Win It All?

The conclusion of the 2011-2012 season comes tomorrow, as a Dawson team will finally be crowned champion after years of underachieving. Kurt's team has gone undefeated this year, with a regular season record of 8-0, followed by a playoff record of 3-0. Drew Estabrook and Zach Cotoni give them a definite edge in terms of point guard play. On the other side, Diane's team started off hot, but faced a bit of a struggle following the midseason injury to Conor Enright. They ended the regular season with a record of 6-2, and have rattled of three straight to reach the championship game. Kurt's team is well balanced, having different leading scorers several times throughout the season. Diane's team is primarily led by the two-headed attack of Conor Enright and Mitchell Dawson, both of whom are seniors. On his birthday, I believe Mitch will step up in the spotlight and hit some threes, and Cedric Wirta can contribute with double digit points as well. Of course, Conor Enright is the main attraction and I don't think he will disappoint. Diane's team just came off a huge overtime win over Team Stevens, and I think they carry that momentum on to a rec ball championship. Best of luck to both teams.

Matt's Round 2 Playoff Picks

K Dawson vs. Stewart

Prediction: 55-30 K Dawson

K Dawson seems like they are unstoppable this season and they get the loser pick this week, which is Team Stewart. I just don’t see Stewart pulling an upset unless some people do not show up for K Dawson. This game should't be too close.

Debreceni vs. Hegeman

Score: 55-35 Hegeman

Hegeman is a much better all around team and unlike Jarboe they have an answer for Kyle Karaska with Nick Longo. Longo is just as athletic and can keep up with Kyle. Austin can cover Alex Kieleczawa, and Hegeman is much deeper than Debreceni, I can’t see Debreceni pulling back to back upsets.

Walsh vs Stevens

Score: 55-50 Stevens

I’m giving this one to Stevens with their great two guards Stevens and Rosa, who will be too much on the fast break for Walsh. The way Stevens can attack the hoop will get Walsh into foul trouble and they will hit their shots at the free throw line. Walsh may have the advantage on the glass, so for them to win they need to slow the pace of the game down and Ben and Tom need to hit their three pointers.

D Dawson vs Saraceno

Score: 55-48 D Dawson

The Dawson train keeps on rolling this week when they get Saraceno. Dawson needs to be able to get back on defense if Saraceno decides to speed the game up. Dawson has the depth on the bench that Saraceno does not. Doug will cover Conor and Ferro will cover Mitch. The only way Saraceno pulls this game off is if they drain some three pointers with Ferro, Roper, and Smith. They also have to get easy buckets on the fast break to succeed.

Baller of the Week: Playoffs Round 1

The Baller of the Week award for round one of the playoffs is Kyle Karaska. Kyle willed his team to an upset win over Team Jarboe, bringing them back from a 17 point deficit with the help of Alex Kieleczawa. Kyle had 19 second half points scoring 26 points total in the game. It will be another tough game for Deberceni this week, but he plays like he did last week, Jarboe has a chance to knock off Hegeman. 

Remaining Playoff Bracket

And The Winner Is...

After Sunday's D Dawson vs. Stewart matchup, a random drawing was held to determine the eighth team that would move on to the quarter-finals. The seven teams that suffered first round losses (Mahan, Jarboe, Stark, DeLuca, Naughton, Wright, Stewart) were eligible for the draw-in. Click "read more" below to see the winner...

Scores: Playoffs Round 1

First day of round one is in the books. All teams with better regular season records were victorious, except for Team Jarboe. They were defeated by Team Debreceni, a team that has a history of being difficult to beat in the playoffs-- no mater what their regular season record may be.

Sunday's action brought victories by Stevens over Wright and D Dawson over Stewart. In the first game, Team Stevens jumped out to a 9-0 lead, with all nine points coming from Nick Freiter. They never looked back, winning 58-43. Patrick Stevens had 16 points and Freiter finished with 15. The second game was close throughout. Dawson jumped out to several eight or nine point leads, but Stewart kept bouncing back  thanks to four threes by Evan Bunis and double digit rebounds by Alex Dhionis. In the end, Dawson was too much. Cedric Wirta was the difference with four threes.

On a side note, this is the 200th post to this website. Pretty amazing stuff. Thanks again to everyone for reading.

Matt's Playoff Picks: Round 1

K Dawson (8-0) vs Mahan (4-4)
Score: Mahan 50-48

Dawson has a chance to knock out the defending champion Assistant Coach Werner in
this game. However, I think Mahan could pull the first round upset, just like a sub-.500 MacLeod did to an undefeated Calderan two years ago. Mahan has knocked off great teams this season like Hegeman and Jarboe, and if they have their big 4 there with Matt Werner, B-Ice, Dan McGuiness, and Griffin Modzelewski I think they have a good chance to win. Especially with so many go to guys to go to down the stretch, I don’t think Dawson has that type of player. It will be interesting to see Ryan Dawson matchup with Ben Icenogle down low. Whoever wins that matchup will have this game.

Jarboe (5-3) vs Debreceni (2-6)
Score: 45-30 Jarboe

I think this game won’t be to close unless Karaska and Kieleczawa have monster games, as
Jarboe is just too deep compared to Deb. I think the guards Peter Ellerkamp and Matt Aumais will
be able to open up shooting lanes for Mike Murphy to hit some three’s. The X-Factor for Jarboe
is Myles Markham. If Myles plays up to his potential and score 8-10 points per game like he did at the
beginning of the season, then Jarboe may be able to make a push at a title.

Hegeman (6-2) vs DeLuca (2-6)
Score: 60-50 Hegeman

DeLuca has been in a funk to say the least after winning their two games early. To make
this game competitive they need to be able to rebound the ball effectively, and Tim Grove needs
to get Ian Macpherson going offensively. Ian and Tim are going to both have big games for
DeLuca to move on.

Walsh(6-2) vs Naughton(3-5)
Score: 50-45 Walsh

I think this will be a very close game. Naughton riding a two game winning streak into
the playoff’s when it looked like Naughton was a non-factor in a title race. However Walsh’s
three point shooting ability with Ben Walsh and Tom DeNatale will pull Hanagan outside and
Pfenn will be able to get easy rebounds and buckets down low.

Saraceno (2-6) vs Stark(0-8)
Score: 50-30 Saraceno

I would really love to see Stark pull an upset but as long as Ferro, Roper, and Smith are
there I don’t see it happening. Then you don’t even know if Ryan Sheehan will even show up so
there’s that uncertainty with Stark. Saraceno is 2-6, however, they lost 2 or 3 close games so the
league shouldn’t underestimate Saraceno. Roper just has to stop taking low-percentage shots and give the
ball more often to Doug.

Stevens (7-1) vs Wright(3-5)
Score: 55-40 Stevens

Stevens begins their quest for another chance to play for the title and it starts with
Wright. Wright doesn’t have two guards to matchup with Doug Rosa and Patrick Stevens. The fast pace game and the depth of Stevens is just too overpowering for Wright to withstand.

D Dawson (6-2) vs Stewart (2-6)
Score: 55-50 Dawson

Stewart is going to have to play a fast paced tempo in order to beat Dawson, but they are more accustomed to playing a half court offense so this might be difficult for them. Mitch and Connor won’t be able to get back on defense and Team Stewart would have easy baskets if they are able to execute the press and run. Bunis and Stewart will need to have strong games for Stewart to win, and
Dhionis and Enright will be a good matchup. Another key is that Stewart has to shut down Dawsons third scorer, either Cedric Wirta or Alex Marken. Ultimately, I think there are too many adjustments for Team Stewart to make in one week, meaning Dawson will be able to edge them out.

2011-2012 Highlight Video

Another regular season is in the books. Playoffs start after vacation!

Baller of the Week: Weeks 7 & 8

Baller of the Week for Week 7 is Matt Ferro. Matt netted 24 against DeLuca in a big win for Saraceno.  Matt will have to continue to play at this rate for Saraceno to be successful. Smith and Ferro need to demand the ball and Roper has to pass it. Another big contender for Baller of the Week was Patrick Stevens who had 16 first half points and finished with 20 points in a win over Dianne Dawson’s team. Congrats Matt Ferro. 

Week 8's Baller of the Week Award goes to Rick Liebold who scored 22 points in a five-point win for Team Wright over Team Debreceni. Rick was clutch down the stretch to secure the win for his team. Team Wright hasn’t had the Liebold’s together too much so they may be poised for an upset in the playoff’s if Rick can play like this. Congrats to Rick for the last Baller of the Week winner in the regular season and let the playoffs begin. Good luck to everyone!

Stevens 55 Stewart 51
Hegeman Jarboe
Walsh Saraceno
Wright 53 Debreceni 48

Game Picks: Week 8

Saraceno vs. Walsh
Prediction: Walsh 55 Saraceno 52

Walsh put up a number last week, becoming the first team all season to eclipse the 70 point mark.  Now they must avoid a let down against a struggling Team Saraceno.  The guard matchup of Ben Walsh and Tom DeNatale against Matt Ferro and Doug Smith should be fairly balanced, so the real difference in the game should be down low.  For Team Saraceno, Matt Foster should be able to hold his own, but I expect Jake Wertheimer and Mark Shea to help Team Walsh squeak out a close victory.

Hegeman vs. Jarboe
Prediction: Jarboe 58 Hegeman 56 (OT)

This should be the matchup of the week, with each team having a record of 5-2.  Jarboe loves to play uptempo, while Hegeman has the size advantage down low.  Brandon Orlando has been somewhat inconsistent in some games, but when he really comes to play he can be a monster on the boards.  However, I think Jackson Jarboe can neutralize him enough to allow Pete Ellerkamp to lead his troops to a hard fought victory.

Stevens vs. Stewart
Prediction: Stevens 62 Stewart 52

Alex Dhionis will need to have a huge game if the Stewies are going to upset Team Stevens.  That means that Team Stewart will have to dictate the tempo by slowing down Team Stevens' relentless offensive attack and defensive pressure.  Although Willy Stewart has had success against this team in the past (he made a game winning and-one in the final seconds of last year's matchup) I think Team Stevens will be able to continue their winning ways and get revenge on Team Stewart from last year's heartbreaker.

Stark vs. K Dawson
Prediction: K Dawson 51 Stark 26

List of biggest sports upsets ever:
1.) Stark defeats K Dawson
2.) USA beats USSR in "Miracle on Ice"
3.) Red Sox comeback from 3-0 series deficit to beat Yankees

D Dawson vs. Naughton
Prediction: Naughton 44 D Dawson 40

Naughton has been hot recently and come into this game looking to improve their record to an even 4-4 and finish the regular season with a respectable .500 record.  On the other side, Diane Dawson's team is going in the opposite direction without top pick Conor Enright.  Chaz Hallock and Cedric Wirta will need to step up their games if Team Dawson is going to stop their skid. For Team Naughton, Matt Hanagan presents a huge matchup problem, as I don't think that Mitch Dawson has the agility to prevent him from driving to the basket.  With Hanagan inside I would expect the three point arc to open up, so you might see Greg Naughton or Danny Kessler hit a few threes to give Team Naughton the edge.

Mahan vs. DeLuca
Prediction: DeLuca 45 Mahan 39

Team Mahan is feeling good after pulling off a huge overtime win last weekend against Team D Dawson.    They have underperformed so far this year, and I think they might be getting hot just in time for the playoffs.  Team DeLuca has also shown flashes of potential this season, but failed to put it all together for a prolonged period of time.  I think this is a very big game in terms of momentum for each team as they prepare for the postseason.  That being said, I believe Team DeLuca will get it done in the end.  Tim Boudreau should present a problem for Ben Icenogle with his physicality, while iMac and Tim Grove should be able to out hustle Griffin Modzelewski and co.

Wright vs. Debreceni
Prediction: Debreceni 43 Wright 38

The key matchup of this game is down in the post, where the physical Kyle Karaska takes on the finesse and athletic AJ Wright.  I think it would benefit Team Wright to play some full court press and try to take away the advantage that Karaska gives Team Debreceni in the half court, but I'm not sure that they will end up doing this, based on the way I've seen them play in the past.  Ultimately I expect Karaska to cause the defense to collapse inside, leaving Kieleczawa open for a few threes on the perimeter that will be the difference in the end.

Walsh vs. Stewart Game Action

Mr. Dave Stewart put this video together for the Week 2 Walsh vs. Stewart game, enjoy.  Thanks Dave!

Scores: Week 7

-Ben Icenogle banked in a three pointer at the end of regulation for Team Mahan, sending the game to overtime, where they would ultimately defeat Team Hegeman.  
-Team Walsh scored what might be the most points in a game since the days Ryan Langell and the Hill brothers of Team Debreceni two years ago.
-Patrick Stevens' sixteen first half points led Team Stevens to a win in a clash of two 5-1 teams.


Stevens 60 D Dawson 50
Mahan 44 Hegeman 41 (OT)
Jarboe Stark
K Dawson Wright
Walsh 73 Debreceni 51
Naughton Stewart

Game Picks: Week 7

Stevens (5-1) vs D Dawson (5-1)

Prediction: 55-42 Stevens

Stevens will have tough task this week to rebound after their loss. Dawson has no ball handlers and the guard play of Doug Rosa and Patrick Stevens will be able to dominate the game. The full court press will definitely be utilized against Dawson so someone needs to step up to bring the ball up the court besides Mitch. Mitch is going to have a huge game for Dawson to get past.

Walsh (3-2) vs. Debreceni (2-4)

Prediction: 50-35 Walsh

I'm picking Walsh to keep on rolling against Debreceni in a easy win. The depth of Team Walsh is much better than Team Debreceni and Ben Walsh will be able to contain Alex Kilieczawa, and the combo of Pfenn and Wertheimer will hold Karaska to not do too much damage. Mark Shea and Tom DeNatale will have easy matchups and I expect them to take over.  

Jarboe (4-2) vs. Stark (0-6)

Prediction: 40-20 Jarboe

Ryan Sheehan hasn’t showed up to help his team at all, but at this point I don’t even think it would help at this point. Jarboe plays great defense and they have been pretty consistent the whole year. The only way I can see a win is if Stark as a team can step up defensively against Jarboe.

Wright (2-4) vs. K Dawson (6-0)

Prediction: 55-35 K Dawson

I see the K Dawson train to keep on going this week against Wright. In the first half against Stark Wright struggled and was only up by a few points at the break. That is just flat out embarrassing especially Stark without Ryan Sheehan. Dawson’s depth is top notch and there is no way Wright slows them down.

Stewart (2-4) vs. Naughton (2-4)

Prediction: 45-38 Naughton

Naughton has won a couple straight now and maybe they will be able to figure out how to win consistently. Hanagan will be able to draw out Dhionis away from the paint or Matt will have open shots. If Dhino comes out it will open up lanes for Greg Naughton and Ryan Doody. Naughton will be able to manage a third consecutive win.

Hegeman (5-1) vs. Mahan (2-3)

Prediction: 55-42 Hegeman

After Hegeman’s first loss they have been a top team in the league. The depth of Orlando, Longo, Hourani, and O’Hara is really good. Especially how B-Ice doesn’t come, I don’t even know if Griffin is still on the team. Matt Werner and Dan Mcguiness will not be enough to get by against Hegeman.

Saraceno (1-5) vs. DeLuca (2-4)

Score: 52-48 Saraceno

This is a great matchup for Saraceno, Tim Grove will have to go against Roper and Ferro in the Game and Doug Smith will be against Macpherson too. There won’t be a good matchup against either Ferro or Roper and they will be able to stretch the floor. I see Saraceno barely pulling this one out.

Standings & News

I'm working on updating the standings but I am missing a two games.  Does anyone know who won the Walsh vs. Mahan game in Week 6, or the Naughton vs. Mahan game in Week 5?  If you have a score that would be great, but more importantly I just need to know who won so I can accurately update the standings.  Please leave a comment if you know the outcomes of these games.

Also, Mr. Stewart created a video compilation of the Walsh vs. Stewart battle from Week 2, which I plan to upload on Saturday.  I will also put something together that includes the video that I took a two weeks ago.  Game picks will be up around 6 or 7 tonight, so stay tuned...

Baller of the Week: Week 6

There were a couple of contenders for Baller of the Week this week. One was Ryan Dawson who didn’t have a huge game but really contributed to Dawson’s success down the stretch.  However, Stevens should have had Freiter still in the game and did not have Patrick Stevens for a majority of the game.  Ultimately, I decided to give Baller of the Week to Peter Ellerkamp. Pete had 18 points in an overtime win against Team Stewart. He played great defense the whole game and had 10 out of 12 points at half for Team Jarboe. Pete willed his team to victory and hopefully his success will continue the rest of the season for Team Jarboe. 

-Matt
