Week 8 Results

Jarboe vs Cianci
Never got played
Only four players showed up between the two teams, so sadly this game was never played. It's always tough to wake up for the 7:30 game and hopefully this doesn't happen again. 

teDuits vs Dzwonek
60-40
I think everyone saw this result coming from a mile away. Cole did a pretty solid job guarding Bradley, but sadly due to a chipped tooth, he had to leave the game early for an appointment with the dentist. The question team Dzwonek has to ask themselves is how do they get Tommy Raymond to start shooting less? It's very possible he takes the most shots in this league and he only had 7 points this week. It's hard to pin the blame on him because it's not like anyone on team Dzwonek has shot the ball well (except the warthog who went 1/1), but I think Tommy may be taking a few too many. 

Anzivino vs Strauss
49-39
The whole league is slowly starting to turn on it's head with the better teams starting to lose. Jake Strauss hardly got any help and even with his impressive 24 point day, team Strauss was not able to out last team Anzivino. Once again Will Bordes had an impressive game doing a fair amount of scoring in the final stretch. Without Fordham and Whitby, team Strauss really lacked a second scorer and that's what killed them in the end. I said it at the beginning of the season and I'll say it again now, team Strauss is quite small and without a tough big man they'll continue to struggle against teams with players like Ivan. 

Kelly vs Bonaventura
38-30
A surprise win for team Kelly gives team Bonaventura back to back losses for the first time this season. Team Bonaventura has been pretty solid all the way until last week, but suddenly everything is falling apart. Most of this has to fall on Derek's shoulders. There's no easy way to put this, but he's just been bad recently. Ryan Bernard paid tribute to legend Kobe Bryant by writing 8 and 24 on his shoes, but even that wasn't enough to get them a win. Credit to Sammy Eggiman who once again only scored 4 points, but actually played a half decent game on defense. Finally hats off to team Kelly who have easily been the toughest team to judge this year. There the Robin Hood of the league, taking wins from the rich and giving them to the poor.

Mcnamara vs Donaruma
49-48
Sophomore stud Curtis Lacombe stole the show Sunday morning having a fantastic game and finishing it with a game winning layup. This was a classic bottom of the league duel which was tight the whole way through. With a minute left this game was tied and it looked like it could go either way. A Curtis bucket put team Mcnamara up one, but the ever good looking Alex Bushnell fired away a 3 to take the lead back. Somehow Sri snuck on the court and after a missed shot by him, team Mcnamara had the ball and a chance to win. The ball got into Curtis's hands and he hit a driving layup to win it. Team Donaruma falls to 1-7 and a already bad season is only getting worse.
