Past the midpoint of the 2015 season, things are hot, and still heating up.
February 13, 2015
Twisters – 53
(4-0)
Can’t Score Won’t Score – 28
(1-2)
After a bumpy first half, the Twisters found themselves with only a 24-16 lead at the midway point. The 10 Deep Tornado came out strong after halftime, putting together some good runs and stepped up defensively. Despite the win, head coach Ryan Weaver wasn’t satisfied. “We have so much talent on paper but we still haven’t played a strong, cohesive four quarters in a row. We have some things to figure out before the playoffs,” said Weaver in the post game huddle.
Fiddler On The Hoop – 44
(1-2)
W$D – 37
(1-3)
Fiddler finally captured their first victory of the season, holding off W$D. A huge scoring output, 25+ points, from Bennett Yeo helped Fiddler to lead for virtually the entire contest. Michael Freidu shot the ball well, scoring in double digits for the fourth game in a row. W$D has had the toughest schedule of any team in the league so far this season.
Backfire – 66
(3-0)
I.C. Balls – 41
(0-4)
I.C. Balls woes continued with another blowout loss, yet again by double digits. Brady Cotton set an R-League record with over five half court shots made in one game for Backfire. I.C. Balls have only three weeks left to win a game and become the first all female team in league history to do so.
B.Y.O.B. – 41
(2-2)
The Cherubs – 36
(2-2)
B.Y.O.B. rebounded back from close loss to the Twisters last week to pull off a win against the Cherubs. Good team defense was key for BYOB as they kept the Cherubs newly added scoring threat Sheldon Brown under control. Griffin Fellows stood out once again, with some big shots down the stretch.
