Week 5 Results

teDuits vs Jarboe
71-36
Just a terrible morning for all involved on the team Jarboe side. With only 5 players and being short some of their shooters in the likes of Richard and Brendan team Jarboe couldn't get anything going. They were able to hang with team teDuits for maybe the first 5 minutes but it was hard to find an answer for Colin and Brad playing together. I think everyone was happy to see this end as it wasn't much of a contest. The better Caruso brother was the only Caruso to win today and he was on fire this whole game. He was impossible to guard and team's need to start taking note of him or they'll be getting the same harsh awakening he delivered to team Jarboe this week. Time will tell if Alex's 23 bomb is enough to get him baller of the week.

Kelly vs Dzwonek
41-36
I think everyone not just me is struggling to figure out if team Kelly is the real deal, but the way they played today would tell me they are. Team Dzwonek continues to have problems offensively and Sammy scoring a career high (6 points) was enough to help get the job done for team Kelly. This loss has to fall on senior leader Steve Dzwonek's shoulders. Known for being an amazing 3 point shooter, he was non existent on offense for his team and it showed. Overall this was a pretty fun game to watch and it stayed in the balance for most of the game until team Kelly was able to pull away at the end. The freshman for team Kelly look like future rec all stars as does the energy ball named Bobby (Ethan Ebersman) for team Dzwonek.

Anzivino vs Donaruma
63-62
GAME OF THE SEASON! A crazy double overtime game was the talk of the morning as what was looking like a simple win was taken into overtime by the heroics of the youngest Booth brother Jem. Two really well matched teams we're still locked together going into the final stretch, where even without Zach, team Anzivino were up by 3 with 10 seconds left. A great pass up the floor to Jem who checked his feet and pulled up for a clock expiring 3 was enough to send the game into overtime. The teams still couldn't be separated through one quarter of overtime and team Donaruma we're inches away from a win thanks to a desperation 3 from Bush. It fell short and in the end it was the big man Logan Hillberg who got it done from the free throw line to bring the win home for team Anzivino.

Mcnamara vs Cianci
42-40 
Another thrilling matchup with lots of personal battles. Team Cianci was once again short a few players and with help from Cunningham, Chandler, and Hillberg they we're able to take a stab at team Mcnamara who with Castelano showed some creativity. The battle between Sammy V and Warren down low was great fun to watch and it has to be said the battle between Klam and the out of bounds line was also interesting. Team Mcnamara was riding a 12 point lead for most of the game, but things got interesting down the stretch and team Cianci began to heat up. Chandler hit a corner three with 20 seconds left to pull Cianci within 2 and after forcing a turnover team Cianci had the chance to get the win, but a weak clock winding down 3 pointer was blocked by CMAC or maybe it was just a miss on Chandlers part, but regardless it was a good fight by team Cianci to try and make a comeback against team Mcnamara.

Strauss vs Bonaventura
42-38
This was a exhilarating matchup to say the least. The stage was set, team Strauss had to live up to the expectations and take down the undefeated team Bonaventura. It was all going well to start and with a 12+ point lead it looked like they had it locked up. However team Strauss star Jared Whitby got injured and slowly but surely team Bonaventura started to creep into this matchup energized by loud mouth Ryan Bernard and his explosive brother Finn Bernard with a possible block of the season. In the end team Bonaventura fell short despite the clear passion and effort being poured in by the players. Jacob Strauss led the way with a James Harden type of performance scoring 23 points and taking 14 free throws.
