Playoff Week 1 Results

Hey y'all sorry for the delay yhit is actually my first time being home since these games were played, but they were exciting to say the least so let's dive in.

Meyers vs. TeDuits/Estes
49-43 (OT)
So this isn't a joke, this isn't some prank Meyers choose the absolute best time to figure themselves out and pick up this win. Not only did they win, but they actually proved themselves a legitimate title threat by knocking off a team fresh off a win against number 1. It was a heck of a game, Meyers held a slim lead late into the second half, but TeDuits/Estes hit an absolutely silencing three with about 15 seconds left to send it into OT. Then in OT Meyers was able to use some solid big man plan and a key technical foul to help ice this one up. Meyers you have become America's team, cinderella is making a run in March.

Hecht vs. Bernard/Hastings
46-31
Another stunning upset to conclude an absolutely first window of games. This game was actually a battle, with a one point game at halftime, and both teams playing completely even. Then in the final 8 minutes Hecht started going crazy. They were hitting every shot, making every defensive play, and utterly dominated down the stretch. Bernard/Hastings was missing their superstar for this one, but nevertheless it was a great battle ending in another upset.

Gingras vs. Southwick
67-54* (unofficial score)
I'll be honest I didn't get to see the end of this game, my game started before this ended so I didn't get to see how it all unfolded but this was easily the best two team game this playoffs. Both teams played really good and it was a see saw game where Southwick would be build up a little lead, and Gingras would strom back, then Southwick would build a lead again and Gingras would storm back. The duel between Max Phonard and Elias Jiser could not have been more entertaining. As they both shot incredibly, but in the end the lead got too big for Gingras to come back from, so despite a great effort, Southwick was the better team.

O'Wiley vs. McNamara
58-34
This one started out with a big lead, and finished with a big lead, no other way around it. O'Wiley played tremendously on defense and on offense, and McNamara couldn't get anything going on either side of the basketball. The damage was done early and there was no going back. Of all of the first round games, this one was probably the most one sided, as O'Wiley continues to look like a dominant team.

Majkut vs. Zolomon
53-44
Majkut started the game on a 9-0, then from there Zolomon started to do their thing. They played extrememly aggrssively on defense and forced a lot of turnovers. This game going into half was 20-18 and looked like it could go either way, but a huge second half run sparked by defense made all of the difference as the lead for Zolomon grew too big for Majkut to overcome.
