Week 11 Scores

Anzivino vs Mcnamara
50-42
Team Anzivino was able to get up early in this game and held a consistent 8 point lead through just about the whole game. Team Mcnamara was able to hang around thanks to a few Curtis 3's, but every time something seemed to go right for them on offense, things would fall apart on defense. The interesting part about this game is that it looked like if team Mcnamara maybe had one more key player they could win, and with a possible 2nd round matchup on the horizon, it should be interesting to see if the result changes with Castro on the floor.

Jarboe vs Bonaventura
57-44
A very encouraging display for team Jarboe who was able to come back from an 8 point half time deficit to beat team Bonaventura who has struggled recently. things were clearly clicking for team Jarboe on both ends of the floor with blocks (on Ryan Bernard) on defense and 3's and easy buckets on offense. This game was another preview for a possible playoffs matchup and we'll see if they play, maybe team Bonaventura can re-write the story.

Donaruma vs Kelly
40-33
All who watched we're amazed by one player in particular in this game. Senior Sammy Eggiman was able to score double digits for the first time in his senior year and finally showed a glimmer of hope on offense than maybe, just maybe, team Kelly can exploit in the playoffs. RD (Ryan Donaruma) played throw a shoulder injury which will be operated on soon if my sources are true and scored 22 points which we're much needed with the absence of star junior Alex Bushnell. Sadly it looks like RD will be out for playoffs so even more pressure will be put on Bush and Jusaume to score.

teDuits vs Strauss
59-46
A battle between the two top dogs in our league didn't quite live up to the hype as a very close first half was blown open by a once again dominant team teDuits. Team Strauss looked good for most of the first half but lost some of its offensive dominance in the 2nd. It seemed like Whitby wasn't as aggressive as we expected and settled for deep 3's rather than getting to the hoop. Many expected this to be a taster for what this year's championship may look like, and if that's so then we could be looking at a team teDuits undefeated season.

Cianci vs Dzwonek
37-36
The highlight for many people's weekends was watching what was known as the "toilet bowl" as well as the "Sammy V Retirement game" which was these two bottom of the league teams squaring off in a bottle for 2nd to the last place. It finished in the exact fashion you'd expect for a game like this. At least 3 turnovers from both teams, multiple missed free throws and even a free throw off the side glass. It didn't fail to live up to its expectations and it was a great send-off for Sammy V who is calling his rec career here as season-ending surgery looms for him as well. 

It's been a great regular season and we look forward to what's to come in the playoffs. I'd like to wish a quick and successful recovery to Sammy V and RD who both will be dearly missed by the rec league. Congrats on a great career to the both of you!
