McAlister's Deli Week 2 Recap

Patriot League Bombers 55
Forecasted Showers 36

John Griffin lead his team on a 26-4 run in the first half of Friday's game vs Forecasted Showers and they never looked back as they cruised to a 55-36 win. Despite missing their defensive specialist Dave Neff, the Patriot League Bombers held Forecasted Showers to 36 points and a 34% shooting percentage. Only one player scored in double figures for Forecasted Showers (Rost).

Edmound Elzy who is in the midst of a personal 6 game losing streak had this to say about Griffin's performance, "When I guarded him and contested his shots he didn't score. It's when he got out on the break or came off a pick and roll is where he killed us".

After the game, Eric Flatt questioned if it isn't a time for a change. "Elzy and I have played together for 3 seasons and we haven't done anything. I might have to look at all my options this off season." Rumors swirled all week about Flatt's name being in involved in trade rumors.

3-Peat 50
Baston Jacks 37

3 -Peat used a balanced scoring attack and solid defense to defeat Baston Jacks 50-37 on Friday. The final score does not indicate how one-sided this game was. Baston Jacks looked completely out of sync and visibly frustrated with one another. "We are obviously not clicking right now, we need to get some practice time together and get this thing figured out", said Alan Mowrey. All four teams have next week off. Their next game is Nov 21st.

3 -Peat displayed some of the weapons that helped them win the PFOL 2 Championship. Richie Smith hit three 3 point field goals in a matter of 2 minutes. That outburst pushed the lead to 21 points in the 2nd half. Vance Catlin chipped in with 12 points and 8 rebounds and played tough defense on Baston Jacks' leading scorer Pat Sullivan. Sullivan was held to 11 points but manged to grab a season high 19 rebounds.

Jake Vernon battling flu like symptoms only scored 4 points on 2 of 7 shooting. Vernon being under the weather was actually a blessing in disguise for 3-Peat. Historically, statistics show that when Vernon shoots less than 14 times his teams are 6-0. When he shoots more than 14 times his teams are 0-4.

Baston Jacks drop to 0-2. "We are not panicking, we know this is a long season. I'm going to tell you this -even though we are 0-2, I guarantee that we are going to make the playoffs", said Alan Mowrey
