Repeat Offenders
took down the Mighty Men in a
thriller game that was closer than the final score suggests! Tim Stanos hit the early 3's to set the tone, and Jamal (League MVP) took it from there with 14 big points!

Adept over Squires!
The season was a bit of a roller-coaster, as competing
leagues and priorities caused our numbers to vacillate between 5-12 people per
game. All season, though, we were anchored by the outstanding play of Pan Wang and
Lampros Tsontzos, both former college basketball players and current
beasts.
The finals mirrored the ups and down of the season in a way
- we were down nine at half and couldn't seem to buy a bucket on offense.
But when we needed them, Pan and Lampros came up big and scored nearly all of
our late second-half points together. Kevin Wang and Daniel Cooper were
outstanding all game, and Tim Chang came up with a big block to seal the game
in the last few seconds.
While there were ups and downs all season, we were fortunate
to end on a high point this season.

Squirrely Flyers put together a strong second
season in the league. Backed by a rapid-fire offense and
consistent defense, the eight returning Flyers ended up with an eerily similar
road to the finals as they followed during their inaugural season. Finishing
with a 6-1 regular season, with the only loss coming during inter-divisional
play, they secured the top seed and a first round bye.
The
semi-final game proved once again to challenge Squirrely Flyers' resolve.
Facing a surging Dealers team, the Flyers found themselves trailing early and
down by 15 at the half. The second half brought little relief for the
Flyers, as the Dealers held ground and led by 10 points with 2 minutes
remaining. Squirrely Flyers began intentionally
fouling to extend the game. Dealers hit most of their free throws,
but the Flyers, anchored by five 3-pointers by Gene, started chipping away at
the lead. Trailing by one point with 0.6 seconds
remaining, Rob was able to get a quick shot off from the corner ahead of the
buzzer for the improbable comeback and a 1-point Squirrely Flyers win.
During
a rematch of the spring season finals, Squirrely Flyers and Bucket List once
again faced off. In a hard fought game by both teams,
Squirrely Flyers led most of the way and closed out the season with a solid
win. Congratulations to Gene for his selection as MVP based on his
consistent outside shooting threat and clutch scoring in the playoffs.
Squirrely Flyers look forward to the winter season and continued play
against quality opponents.
