9/18/2011 Week 8 D League News

This Weekend was filled with great match ups and surprises.  With this weekends results the Top 8 Teams are set.  Here are the results of this weekend:

Avengers vs Elite
The game started out even with both teams trying to establish their tempo.  The Avengers came out firing with Chris Mallad finishing most of the plays in the first half for the Avengers.  Elite slowed the pace down with Ban Flores on the right high post setting up his teammates for easy buckets.  Gino, David and Darren for the Avengers picked up the pace on defense and tried to push the ball down every chance they got.  But Elite answered back with great passing and Donald Galang's timely threes.  Chris, John and Nik swallowed up key rebounds down the stretch to lead Elite to their fourth victory of the season.

Avengers 29      Chris M. 12 pts, 5 rbnds, 1 blk                                                                                                                                                          
Elite 43              Donald 12 pts, 2 rbnds, 3 threes

Bula vs SF Warriors
Fast and Furious is the best way to describe this game.  Bula's VJ Santos is back healthy and showed why he is one of the elite athletes in the league and Jeffrey Dacanay showed us why he is one of the most exciting players to watch out for.  It was a blur of points for all four quarters.  Jeffrey Dacanay and Vhenoc Martin duo had their best game of the season doing everything they could to get there team a win: score, rebound, steal, and dish out assists.  Julian Tinio and VJ Santos made sure that the game did not get out of control with timely plays and exciting scoring to stop their four game slide and put them back in the win column.


Bula  61                 Vj S. 10 pts, 3 rbnds,  3 ast                                                                                                                                                                          
SF Warriors 55     Jeffrey D. 14 pts, 2 stls, 3 ast

Dragons vs Spartans
Both teams were looking to redeem themselves from their loss last week.  The Dragons suffered  their first loss of the season and Spartans loss a close game.  The Dragons started the game with four players which may explain why the game for both teams started off slow.  A little awkwardness, but the game quickly picked up as they reached the halfway point of the first quarter when the fifth player, Justin for the Dragons, showed up.  It was an exciting game from that point forward.  The Spartans got contribution from all of their players.  Drexel, Alonzo, Nav and Masoto kept the game in striking distance up until the last seconds of the game.  The Dragons team captain, Rob, and league leading scorer Joey, put in work to keep the game close with Daryll chipping in to close out the game for the Dragons sixth win of the season.


Dragons  58       Joey S. 20 prs, 3 rbds, 4 threes                                                                                                                                                                  
Spartans 55         Alonzo R. 16 prs, 10 rbnds, 3 ast

Primetime vs Code Green
And now for the surprise game of the season... Code Green worked hard all week to prepare for this game against the incredible Primetime Franchise.  This was a classic "David vs Goliath" scenario.  Primetime showed no mercy despite there obvious advantage: speed, team work, and the 'Primetime Championship Experience".  Code Green played their butts off behind team captains Jason and AJ.  Primetime's Marlowe and Alex put the ax down early to establish the tempo for the whole game.  Code Green's Jason and AJ obliged and took the challenge head on to establish a lead in the second half of the game.  Primetime turned up the heat with their signature press but Code Green weathered the storm with Aaron, Kristian, Chris and Justin E. holding on to their jockstraps and making key plays down the stretch for  an amazing win.
Side Note:
Primetime's Alex Martin did leave after the first half of the game.


Code Green 62   AJ A. 17 pts, 5 rbd, 4 ast, 3 stl                                                                                                                                                                  
Primetime 56       Marlowe B. 12 pts, 4 rbnds
