Indianapolis - All thoughts on Friday were not on the outcome of the PFOL games. Everyone was concerned about the well-being of PFOL player Chris Melby who was carried off the court on a stretcher and taken to the emergency room after he collided with another player as he went in for a rebound. Melby was struck with an elbow in the neck and collapsed in the first half of the first game. Melby immediately who laid face down was unable to move his arms of legs. He was taken to Methodist Hospital where it was determined that he suffered a seperated vertebrae which caused severe swelling between the separated discs. Surgery has been suggested but the doctors will wait and see how Melby progresses over the next 48 hours.
Despite the injury to Melby, the PFOL decided to continue the games.
Team 2 improved to 4-0, by dropping Team 1, 46-35. Mowrey led the way with 18 points and 11 rebounds and Tamba Samba had 14 points and 11 rebounds.
Edmound Elzy had one of the worst shooting performance of his career as he shot 2 of 19 from the field and was held to just 5 points. Elzy was able to grab 9 rebounds and dish out 7 assists.
In the 2nd game of the day, Team 4 beat Team 3, 54-48 despite losing Kyle Krol early in the game to an eye injury. Doug Morgan scored 11 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for Team 4 and recently signed free agent Dave Hanley scored 14 points in his PFOL debut.
Kyle Krol, was evaluated by an eye doctor and is rumored to have to wear an eye patch for the next few weeks.
