Kicking off week 7 was a matchup between 4-2 Shooter McGavins and 2-4 Overhated. Chas was missing Etheridge and Skelley had his whole team available. I had picked Shooters to win in this one not knowing Eth was out and missing his 14 points per game would be a challenge for SM to overcome.

Starting things off both teams were moving the ball around and getting to the free throw lines. Shebertes had a nice bucket inside with a foul and Hammond had another and-1 finish for SM. Worth had a tough and-1 for OH but Shebertes answered that with back to back three pointers. OH followed this up with a 9-0 run but Hammond responded with back to back threes and Scotty was having a great half on both ends. Both teams were unable to build a solid lead in the first half. Chas cashed out two threes and seemed poised to go into the half up 3 but Skelley hit a miracle buzzer beater to tie the game as time expired in the half. Skelley led all scorers with 13 first half points.

Coming out of the half Shebertes had some nice tough buckets in the posts and Worth had another and-1. Danner had a nice jumper and Chas was on fire from deep. Kielley and Frano, who both had quiet first halves came alive late in the 2^nd half to spark Overhated. Frano had some nice mid range jumpers and Kielley was getting to the basket and free throw line. Late threes from Chas and Shebertes kept things close. With two minutes left, Overhated was up three and SM had to foul. Keilley was clutch at the free throw line and built up a solid lead. Despite another late Chas 3, Overhated hung on to secure a much needed win heading into the stretch run.

BMMSM VS Overhated “ Overhated was deflated” 

No J.Mul fro team harry and Overhate waas missing champion stud Gilles. Glynn hustling early gets obrd 3 ball, Harry smooth stroke 3 6-0. Kielley to tack, Frano 2-2, but Sydokro dimes Shook on cut to stop the run, Shook 2-2 1-4. Worth 2-2, but Stull big balls 3, he liekd that so much how about another 3 ball splash 19-6. BMMSM really dominated the 1st half, and looked like Overhate had no answers, Harry added another 3, Glynn also in on the 3 party it was 34-22 and not looking good for Overhate at the half. 

Overhate would not quit, Frano fade, Worth window, Frano obd put in 34-28. Shook middy, Sydorko 3 breaks up run, but Worth got hot from 3 after his 3rd in a row it made this a new ball game at 40-36. This is when Sydorko got very very hot, was hitting step back Harding treys, he would hit 4 in the 2nd half, Stull, Glynwould add 3’s and they run away without their number 1 pick 64-47. 

BMMSM 

Sydroko-A- Dude a straight baller and winner. Paint is lockdown, and he adds 3’s/drives/leadership 

Shook-B-Solid game, would love to see him hit a 3 but he was effective everywhere else. 

Stull-A-)- Great 3pt %

Glynn-B-) Not a ton of stats but I love the heart/passion of this stud!

Harry-A- Coaching A, he knew just how to attack Overhate, and made the agem evry tough on them. 

Overhate

Worth-B- Good 2nd half scoring but hes got to get his team to play better D. 

Skelley-D- Oh boy he will have better days. 

Frano-B-) Much better int he 2nd half they need him to be way more aggressive. 

Kielley-C+- Hustled had but 0-6 from 3, and struggled on D. 

peteet-B- Thought he played his role well, solid player.

Week 5 opened with a good matchup between OverHated 2.0 and Easy Cummins. Both teams entered the week at 2-2, both driven by early season MVP level campaigns from Worth and Civale, respectively. EC was missing caption EJ and Overhated was missing a key piece in Frano.

EC was running like a well oiled machine to start the game, making multiple passes on each possession and cutting well off ball to the hoop. Alan hit a three after a few missed layups, and Jamie got a nice bucket and a foul. Overhated came roaring back with 7 straight, led by Keilley. Civale was on a mission in the first half, scoring from all levels and it was evident that Oeerhated was missing Frano’s defensive presence. EC was playing great defense and generated 7 takeaways midway through the first half, led by Alan. Civale continued his strong first half en route to a 41-25 lead at the break.

Both teams traded buckets in the second half but Overhated was able to close the gap somewhat thanks to a solid stretch of play by Kielley, who scored 9 early second half points. Overhated was able to close the gap to 10 with Civale on the bench, but as soon as he checked back in he hit a three and hit a great full court pass to a streaking Cummins for a nice transition play. Overhated got into foul trouble late and EC was in the bonus with 4 minutes left. This limited OH’s ability to get back in the game and EC held on to win 68-58. Great fight from Overhated to close the deficit in the 2^nd half, but ultimately it was not enough.

Easy Cummins

Civale A+ excellent game from Brian, efficient shooting and grabbed a ton of boards

Cummins A solid all-around game, JC is a really nice two way player

Skelley window, Kielley 3, but Joey to rack, Joey trey, Matty spin shot, Joey hard to the cup, Joey 3 holy fuck, Zeng J it was a shocking  25-5. Worth finally gets on the board with 2-2, Kielley cutting hoop, then he adds 3, but Matty calms thins with drive down the lane 27-12. Kielley slashes in, Gilles finds his spots and nails a 3, Kielley 3, Kielley sick block leads to Skelley lay in, but some Zeng magic , and Randal drains bigtime 3 it was 32-22 at the half. 

Worth J to start the half, Gilles cut, Kielley obrd Overhate put their foot on the gas. Peteet J 32 all. Joey not done breaks tie with drive, Worth 3, Worth hang shot, peteet J, gilles 3 the floods gates were fully opened , they would run away 65-50.
