Week 4 Results

Bonaventura vs Cianci
45-32
This game gave us exactly what we'd expect for a 7:30 game. Everyone seemed a bit slow and the score at halftime was a mere 18-10 and team Bonaventura was just able to grow their lead from there. Team Cianci didn't have two of their stars in Vcityyy and Cory and without them their offense didn't look near as good as coach Cianci tends to hold his team to. Overall it was a well rounded performance for team Bonaventura as everyone chipped in with some points (team high's being Ansted and Laudenslager with 10 a piece). Debatably the most noticeable number on the stat sheet was Derek's surprisingly low 6 points. It's unclear the reasoning for his poor display, but we hear that he's trying to replicate his good friend Sammy Eggiman's offensive woes. 

teDuits vs Mcnamara
35-30
I've decided to not put team teDuit's name in green because if we're being honest they didn't even win this game. They just got lucky team Mcnamara didn't have enough to win. The ugliness of this game started from the teDuit's brothers awful shooting, in particular Bradley. It even got to the point where I was receiving updates from one of the best mom's in Groton (Mrs. teDuits) about how bad her son was playing. If it wasn't for the Boxtroll (Jared Phelps) hitting a late dagger and stepping up his game all day they could've easily dropped this game to the team who coming into the week was sitting bottom of the barrel in the power rankings.

Strauss vs Kelly
55-35
I think most people saw this coming, team Kelly who's started to struggle as of late couldn't handle the hot flying team Strauss led by first year player Jared Whitby. Team Strauss is full of talent and their big 4 of Matt Fordguy, Jackson Buermeister, Jared Whitby, and Jake Strauss are head and shoulders above any other big 4 and its clear that their opponents are struggling to stop them. It now becomes a question of who can stop team Strauss? 

Anzivino vs Jarboe
50-45
A well fought battle by both teams came down to who was getting the majority of rolls and friendly bounces. In this case the answer was most definitely team Anzivino. It didn't take long for team Anzivino to jump out to an early lead and they we're able to ride it into half time. However early in the 2nd half the good looking pair of Simon and Brendan strung together a few 3's in a row and dragged them back to a one point deficit and it looked like team Jarboe would win it. Will and company had other plans and between Logan, Zach, and Sturmo, team Anzivino was able to keep controlling the boards and thanks to some clutch buckets down the stretch, they pulled out the win.

Donaruma vs Dzwonek
52-46
After having troubles with the rules last week, team Donaruma was able to take advantage of having short numbers and was able to add DPOY candidate Colin teDuits for the first half and this killed team Dzwonek early. Due to a devastating injury to star Evan Biegel, Colin came in and scored a quick 10 points and helped set team Donaruma up with a huge early lead. Despite having short numbers, team Donaruma was not short of heart and big man Willy J led the way with a career high impressive 18 points. Going into the season team Dzwonek was awfully optimistic, but after going 1-3 to start the season, they may need a reality check. Shoutout to Cole Connerty who scored a good few buckets down the stretch getting himself 18 points as well.

Last note I hope all Patriot fans feel better, I understand it was a tough weekend for many of you. I also would like to wish a speedy recovery on behalf of the whole rec league to Evan Biegel who picked up a possible season ending injury over break.
