Week 9 Results

Southwick vs. Majkut
38-33 (OT)
The Southwick winning steak moves up to 6, is that a typo? Nope they've actually won six in a row so hats off to them. They held a fairly sizable lead throughout the game, but Majkut was able to chip away at it, and push it to OT. It was there where Harrison Southwick iced the game with some big time free throws and Southwick continues their quest for number 1.

Gingras vs. Booth
34-28
Booth has a solid lead all throughout the game and lost it with about 3 minutes left. They weren't having any of that. They stormed back and gave themselves a 6 point lead and this time they weren't going lose it. Both teams struggled to get anything going offensively, but it was a gritty win for team Booth.

O'Wiley vs. Strauss
64-63
I talked about how last week Zolomon vs. Hecht was the game of the year, this took that right away from them. Strauss was down big, but never played like they were out of it. They kept chipping away at a huge lead, and slowly made it smaller and smaller, and it wasn't until the buzzer they finally overcame it. Gutsy game for both teams. It's worth noting O'Wiley only had 5 players and absolutely balled out.

Bernard/Hastings vs. TeDuits/Estes
47-43
The battle of the slashes was very close throughout. TeDuits/Estes kept a small lead throughout the whole game, and never let up. They played a very team brand of basketball and looked amazing doing it. Meanwhile team Bernard/Hastings who would have been in the two spot with a win, now put themself in an awkward spot after a long win streak.

Zolomon vs. Manzi
73-44
The score doesn't tell the story of this game whatsoever, this was really about a 16 margin with unreal shooting in the last three minutes by some interesting shooters from Manzi. Make no mistake, Manzi handled Zolomon with ease, and they were able to get an easy win. They improve to lead leading 9-0 and Aaron Rodgers mentality of running the table, is starting to look like it could be a reality.

McNamara vs. Meyers
54-41
Admittedly I thought for sure Meyers would pick up their first win, but McNamara refused. There's something about that number 13 spot that makes team play better. Mcnamara played their most complete game on both sides of the ball and all of a sudden they look like a team poised for a big time turnaround.
