Baston Jacks 56
Patriot League Bombers 50

The Patriot League Bombers were the preseason favorites to win the PFOL 3 Championship but now they find themselves in the midst of a 2 game losing streak and questions surround their chemistry after Tuesday’s 56-50 loss to Baston Jacks. Baston Jacks who never trailed in the game ran out to a quick 9 point lead in the first quarter. Despite scoring 28 points, PLB star, John Griffin got very few clean looks at the basket. “Every time I touched the ball I had 2-3 guys running at me. They were determined to get me off the 3 point line today”, said Griffin.

Baston Jack got some much added production from Andrew Boehner as he knocked down all 6 shots he took and ended the day with 14 points and 7 rebounds.

John Griffin tied the game at 50-50 with 40 seconds left with an off balanced shot over Boehner. Baston Jacks immediately raced down and scored on an Alan Mowrey layup to put them up for good at 52-50. Pat Sullivan made 4 go-ahead free throws at the end of the game.

“This is a great win for us, it gets us back to 500 and we feel like we are starting to really hit our stride as a team” said, Pat Sullivan. “Oh, and by the way, John can’t guard me in the post”.

3-Peat 66
Forecasted Showers 54


3-Peat continued to prove they are the best team in the PFOL winning decisively over the winless Forecasted Showers 66-54 on Tuesday. Four players scored in double figures for 3-Peat. They also hit a PFOL record ten 3-pointers in the game. Forecasted Showers continues to look for answers as they drop to 0-4 on the season. “I just wish the season was over”, said Captain Edmound Elzy. Scott Higginson suggested that the ball needs to move around more, “I averaged 7 points last year and I haven’t scored a point all season. It’s time to get mine!!”

Jake Vernon has hit 5 three pointers in his last 2 games. Vernon will be looking to break two PFOL records next week:

Record #1: First player in PFOL history to make 5 or more 3 pointers in 3 consecutive games.
Record #2: Most 3 point field goal attempts in a 3 game span. Vernon only needs four 3-point field goal attempts to break the current record of 43 (currently held also by Vernon).

McAlister's Deli Game Summary - Week 3

Baston Jacks 46
Forecasted Showers 41

A battle of winless teams was the first game on the schedule for week 3. Baston Jacks who have struggled to find their identity as a team took on Forecasted Showers. Aside from not wanting to go 0-3 to start the season, Edmound Elzy and Eric Flatt of Forecasted Showers felt some added pressure as rumors swirled that if they lost, team captain Elzy would blow up the team and start fresh. Eric Flatt and Edmound Elzy have been teammates from the inception of PFOL and have a career winning percentage of just 22%.

Forecasted Showers got off to a fast start on Wednesday running out to an early 12-2 lead. But Baston Jacks fought back to cut the lead down to 1 by halftime. The game was close in the second half as the lead changed hands 11 times. Baston Jacks extended a 1 point lead to 3 points on a layup by Alan Mowrey over Elzy with 21 seconds left. Forecasted Showers didn't score again and lost 46-41.

Edmound Elzy was held to a career low 7 points. Eric Flatt had a strong game with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Baston Jacks were led by Alan Mowrey's 17 points and Jason McGuiness' 10 points. Pat Sullivan scored 9 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.


3-Peat 50
Patriot League Bombers 39


3-Peat took another step towards living up to their team name with a deceive win over a short handed Patriot League Bombers Team. 3-Peat improved to 3-0 on the season as they beat the Patriot League Bombers 50-39. The PLB's were missing 3 of their key players -John Griffin, Graham Neubuger and Thorpe Miller all missed the game.

"A win's a win. All I know is we are 3-0. I am sure it would have been a slightly closer game if those 3 had played, but we still would have won", said Jake Vernon. Vernon knocked down five 3 pointers on 5 of 31 shooting and ended up with 15 points.

Kyle Krol took home player of the week honors by scoring 16 points, grabbed 8 boards and had 4 steals.

"Kyle has really benefited from my leadership on the court. That's what great players do, they make their teammates better", said Vernon.

When asked to comment, Krol some-what agreed . "I would have never been able to grab 8 rebounds if he wasn't throwing up bricks all game", so I guess he's kinda right.
