RYBOY’S FRIDAY BLOG

Playoff picture forming stay tuned.

Winner: Gray 45 Loser: Blue 30

Gray is at the point in life when they transition from high school to college. They become more mature, they have a new perspective, and they have an identity. Their identity is running. Coleman Chung, Matt Hedges, and Neil Wong set the pace this game and got a lot of uncontested lay-ups. Coleman, the point guard, led the team in rebounds. They did not look back. The gray team plays its best when they set the pace. When Coleman Chung has an efficient game, the white team will be in any game. Alan Lin missed a double-double by 1 point. Midseason report cards did come out last week, but there was an accidental omission. There was no mention of Neil Wong, who probably is the most consistent scorer, next to Greg Wong, in the league and is solid on the boards. The Gray team is building up some momentum going into the playoffs and is looking to knock off one of the three Allied powers.

Winner: Green 52 Loser: White 47

Like a 3 legged orange and gray cat with no tail getting hit by a car and turning into a furry pancake of road kill. You get the point…it was ugly. This was a game plagued by fouls and turnovers. Fortunately, one of the teams had to win and it was the Green team who executed down the stretch. Adam set the league record with seven steals and had a quiet eighteen points. JC almost had a double- double in the first fifteen minutes of the game and was on pace for a 30 rebound night, but slowed his rebound production and ended up with 11 points and 16 rebounds. Sherman Lee, once again, led the team with sixteen points and six rebounds. The green team has a bunch of good man to man defenders then limits shots because of good defensive rebounding. The white team, still looking for their first win will face the gray team next week.

Winner Red 41 Loser Black 40

The game had a playoff feel to it. Both teams tried and scratched to get their team the win. It was like watching a horror movie, when you see Chucky lurking right behind that corner In this case, it was Greg. Greg checked in with a minute remaining, and the black team with a one point lead. He got to the line, and felt the pressure, missing two consecutive free throws. In a blink he collected his own miss then got to the line again. This time he converted both. White team threw up a prayer that did not go.
