Basketball Write Ups – Week 7
OPEN:
Team Sumner (73) – Team Tuqan (81)
No write ups for either! Team Tuqan 0-for the season on write ups. Looked like a real defensive battle!
Team Wall (79) – Team Hebert (73)
Wall – Team Wall pulled out the win of the night against a red-hot Team Hebert, who was fresh off of back-to-back wins against the final two undefeated teams on the season. TW withstood what I’m pretty sure was 90% shooting from TH as Hebert and a substituting Pecue hit five threes each (Davenport would like to know if Pecue would be interested in having one of those shooting nights for his actual team).
The game was a battle, as neither team ever got ahead by more than a couple possessions. TH was in control for most of the game, but TW stayed afloat in the first quarter thanks to the heroics of Matt Desselle, who hit a couple threes and driving layups to score half of our first quarter points. From there it was a battle of the Joshes, as Wall led his team with 27 and Wilson led TH with 25. Both players shot ~98% from the paint and 100% from the free throw line.
In the end, the game came down to a back-and-forth final quarter, but TW hit four threes to finally take the lead and sealed it by making five out of six free throws in the final minute to hold off the comeback from TH.
Fun Facts: Team Wall is now 4-0 in purple and 0-3 in gray shirts. Bad news for Team Coogan next week. Even more impressively, Team Hebert is now 3-0 against teams that don’t have a loss when the game starts, and 0-4 against teams that do. Bad news for Team Hebert for the rest of the year.
Hebert – No write up
Team P Arcement (47) – Team Davenport (53)
Davenport – For the second time this season, Team Davenport faced off with the alien that stole Shawn Bradley’s powers in Space Jam. Rookie Salmon dropped a 30 burger, but sticking with the metaphor the Tune Squad prevailed.
Davenport (obviously MJ) fittingly put up 23 points. Bickham (Taz) scored 13 while doing his best to slow down Salmon. Wes (Bugs) showed off his soft hands with a season high 10 points. Pecue (Road Runner) & Blakeman (Wile E. Coyote) held down the defensive side and McKenzie (Foghorn) obnoxiously fussed at the refs and missed layups like he usually does.
P Arcement – no write up
Team Coogan (60) – Team Alexander (49)
Coogan – Before we get to the game, how the fuck was Team Alexander in first place? We had to play down to their level just to keep it a 10 point game. Anyways, Team Coogan vs Team Alexander turned out to be lopsided despite TA giving it their all and bringing a live mascot to the game. The game started with TC up 13-0. TC ended the first quarter up 13-3 with excellent defense from Anderson , Faircloth, and Marcus. TC got bored and fell asleep and the game tightened quick with Alexander taking the lead near the end of the second quarter, but TC just opened their eyes and were back up by six at halftime. The game started to get away from Scott “piggybacking” Alexander and his squad and he resorted to trying to be the 3rd zebra during the game. He begged the refs for almost the entire game for any call he could get. Ryan Evans (league leader in fouls at 3.8 per game) committed his 14th foul at the beginning of the 4th quarter and finally the ref had seen enough and charged him with his 5th foul, one more than points he had. Faircloth finished with 18, Coogan 16, Anderson 11, Marcus 9, George 6, and Levey with one rebound and one assist. Great game for TC all around and now on to Team Wall. This team struggles every week with Scott in the lineup, I don’t know what they are gonna do when the playoffs start and he’s MIA. Wall cannot carry that team by himself and he’s getting no help from his rookie Chase. Zero athletes on this team. This will probably be another easy win for TC heading into the home stretch.
Alexander – No write up. Don’t blame them.
Team Mahtook (86) – Team Brantley (74)
Brantley – With Brantley and Pearce out, we attempted to pick up subs that would hopefully help us get a W. Another failed attempt for Team Brantley. They say you learn more from the losses. Well my team has learned a fuck ton this year.
Mahtook – no write up
Team W Arcement (53) – Team Aillet (42)
W Arcement – Team Arcement and Team Aillet battled in the classic 8 o’clock slot @Lockhart. The game was lower scoring, potentially due to the ice rink style floor both teams were playing on. Team Aillet lead after the 1Q by hitting a flurry of 3 pointers. But it was Team Arcement who took the lead midway through the 2Q and held it throughout the game. It was a balanced attack by Team Arcement, with multiple double digit scorers. The game didn’t exhibit much fireworks outside of Walker getting T’d up (did he push for the over on T’s for the weekend in the last game?) The game ended with a double digit win for Team Arcement as they hope to continue the streak into next week. Captain Will Arcement is hoping the team continues to play well, but is admittedly nervous about the combo of snow/cold temps and a few of his player’s arthritic knees…
Aillet – no write up
LEGENDS
Team Smith (31) – Team Valenti (41)
Valenti – Team Valenti finally got another win this week. Although we continue to miss layups and make terrible passes we finished on the good side of the score board. Ryan, Umut & Dom all scored 11+ and Roy and David played great defense . Tim Roussel keep Team Smith in the game
Smith – no write up
Team Dornier (24) – Team Lambert (33)
Lambert – Team Lambert got a nice 33 to 24 win vs. Team Dornier. We got off to a great 12 to 2 start in the first quarter with some god shooting from Mulkey and balanced team scoring. We started in a 2-3 zone and did a nice job of effort and communicating to cover their shooters- very effective defense all night…..But the actual reason it worked was that Team Dornier could not throw it in the ocean. It helped that Talley, Dornier, Boyd and Martin missed shots that I have seen them make most of the time. After the fast start Team Dornier crawled back in the game in Q2 and Q3 to cut it to a 1 pt lead. For the first time this year (I think) we won the 4th qtr with a 12 to 3 advantage to finish strong. We will take the much needed win in our ascension to mediocrity!
Dornier – Since the return from the dreaded Christmas break, TD has not found the right formula to get the scoring on track, led by poor shooting from the captain
Coach Dornier decided to zoom call an offensive expert, Michael Jordan to get his thoughts.. 30 min into the call, Coach Dornier realized it was a totally different MJ and hung up the phone, instead watching College Gameday to try and get inspirational quotes from Coach Saban… so our mantra will be that of Notre Dame (play like a champion) and Saban’s words of ‘you have 2 decisions when facing pressure. Either succumb to it or apply it!’
So we will work on our offense and hopefully keep the defense going!! TD was led in scoring by Ringe and Talleyl
Lamberts team is bigger than I thought and gave us trouble down low, and made us shoot from the perimeter where we were not very efficient— kudos to TL as they were led in scoring by Lambert and Mulkey, and defensively very sound all the way
Team Ourso (46) – Team Warde (34)
Ourso – Team Ourso jumped out to a quick lead but Team Warde’s hot shooting from the perimeter late in the first and early in the second quarters erased that lead. Team Ourso changed defenses in the middle of the second quarter and Team Warde struggled to score consistently the rest of the way. There is only way to explain the game for Team Ourso “The SNOW came early!”. Adam Snowbarger dominated in the paint scoring 19 points and pulling down even more rebounds. Austin Fontenot also had a hot hand from outside scoring 12 points in the Team Ourso win.
Warde – no write up
Team Goscha (20) – Team Tate (40)
Tate – In what was billed as a potential clash of titans, Team Tate squared off against the undefeated Team Gosha in a Legends League matchup that fell flat of expectations. Missing their dynamic duo of top scorers, Boyce and LeDoux, Team Gosha’s offense sputtered, resulting in their lowest scoring output of the season.
Team Tate capitalized on the opportunity, cruising to a convincing 40-20 victory. Steve Davis led the charge with 13 points, while Tate chipped in 10 to pace the offensive effort. Team Tate’s defense clamped down, making every possession a struggle for the shorthanded Gosha squad.
The Diesel and Dean did their best to keep Team Gosha afloat, scoring 9 and 8 points, respectively, but it wasn’t enough to keep the game competitive. Gosha did however manage to secure victories in two unlikely categories, winning the technical foul count 2-1 and outnumbering Team Tate at Walk-On’s with a narrow 6-4 margin. With the win, Team Tate improves to 6-1 on the season.
Goscha – This week’s write up is about poetry or whatever comes to my mind. Great crowd at Walkons with team Goscha showing up 6 0ut of 6 and after our first and only loss of this season:
Walkon’s was the best, after Tate delivered Goscha their toughest test
