Both teams came into Tuesday's game looking for their first win of the season. Things looked good for McAlister's Deli as they built a 16 point lead at 45-29 early in the second half.
Then Richie Smith took over. Smith hit 3 three pointers in a row as his team went on an amazing 18-0 run to go up 47-45. Deemer's Dream Team never trailed again winning 63-57.
"The basket looked like a hula-hoop. I felt like everything I threw up was going in" said Smith. "This was the first time I have played since our loss in the finals last season, I'm just glad I had my stroke still".
Elzy had 22 and Eric Flatt had 12 points and 18 rebounds in the loss.
Vance Catlin scored 19 points and grabbed 13 rebounds and Richie ended up with 16 and 10.
Abusement Park - 48
Brute Force - 46
Alex Montagano hit a three pointer with .04 seconds left to give Abusement Park a 48-46 win over Brute Force. In his PFOL debut, Marcus Hall scored 12 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
Abusement Park needed Montagano's shot after they found themselves down by 1 after Jason McGuinness scored a layup with 12 seconds left.
Brute Force struggled to get good looks all night and had a league high 21 turnovers.
After grabbing 15 rebounds in week 2, Jason McGuinness didn't grab one rebound in week 3.
"I was shocked when I saw the score sheet. I can't believe he didn't get one board. Even with this loss I still think we are the best team in the league and once we get a few more games played together we are going to be tough to beat", said Alan Mowrey

McAlister's Deli Game Summary - Week 2
Brute Force - 53
McAlister's Deli - 52
With Jhared Simpson out for Thursday's game Brute Force knew they would have their hands full with McAlister's Deli. Brute Force survived and avoided a second half meltdown to beat McAlister's Deli 53-52.
Edmound Elzy had 20 points and 11 rebounds but couldn't get open to recieve a pass late in the game with his team down 1 point and 2.7 seconds left. McAlister's Deli settled for a 25 foot heave by Nate Burger that clanged off the rim as time expired.
"It was a sloppy win, but we'll take it", said Chris Melby.
Brute Force once again had 3 players score in double figures, Mowrey 18, McGuinness 12, Brown 11.
Front Office Legends - 85
Deemer's Dream Team - 68
Pat Sullivan scored a career high in points (45) and rebounds (20) as he led his Front Office Legends to a 85-68 victory over Deemer's Dream Team. Each team only had 5 active players and the conditioning of Sullivan's team paid off. "It was an amazing performance by Sullivan and I don't want to take anything away from him, but I don't like how they ran up the score on us. We'll remember that the next time we play them", said Brian Stutzman.
Deemer's Dream Team was missing Richie Smith for a second straight game as well as Jake Vernon. "Missing those guys really messed us up. Without out Vernon we couldn't figure out who was supposed to be taking all the bad shots", said Vance Catlin. "I make my living cleaning up Jake's misses and we just didn't have that tonight, it really threw us off", said Thorpe Miller.

McAlister's Deli Game Summary - Week 1
Abusement Park 35
Front Office Legends 41
The second season of PFOL tipped off Tuesday night amongst much anticipation and excitement. With over 20 rookies this season many players weren’t sure what to expect. Both Abusement Park and Front Office Legends were missing their two best players (Marcus Hall and Pat Sullivan) which meant many of the rookies were bound to see a lot of playing time.
Front Office Legends used a combination of quickness and athleticism to hold off a gritty Abusement Park 41-35. Jason Rost led the way with 12 points and 8 rebounds for the Front Office Legends. No one for Abusement Park scored in double digits as they obviously missed their captain Marcus Hall. The one highlight for Abusement Park was the play of Kyle Krol who took home defensive player of the week honors with 9 points, 9 Rebounds, 5 block shots and 5 steals. “He reminded me of a younger version of me”, said Dave Neff.
Marcus Hall who missed the game due to a prior commitment (The Jersey Boys with his girlfriend) is expected receive full forgiveness from his team when they return to play next week after a week 2 bye.
Brute Force 59
Deemer's Dream Team 50
In the second game of Tuesday’s double header Brute Force held off a late 2nd half rally by Deemer’s Dream Team and won 59-50. Brute Force had 3 players score in double figures including 18 from player of the week, Jon Rangel. Even with missing their best player Richie Smith (daughter’s softball) and getting down by 15 points in the 2nd half Deemer’s Dream Team rallied behind a barrage of 3 pointers by Jake Vernon to cut the lead to 5 late in the game. Despite going 4-21 from behind the Arc, Vernon’s timely three’s made the game interesting. “We really were losing interest in the game and let our guard down towards the end, the final score is not an indication of how one sided this game was”, said Alan Mowrey. P90X spokesman and starting point guard for Deemer’s Dream Team, Brian Stutzman had a disappointing outing as he went 0-10 from the field and had 6 turnovers. “I guess shooting exercises is not one of the 90 workouts” said Sam Elmore.
Vernon ended the game with 18 points and Vance Catlin lead the way with 19. After one week Brute Force showed that they are the team to beat this season. “We can go 8 deep and all 8 of our players can score the ball”, said Jason McGuinness. Brute Force has a huge showdown with McAlister’s Deli on Thursday as they look to solidify themselves as a true powerhouse.
