THE PLAYOFFS
There were no Cinderellas at the first round playoff games. The 1,2,3 and 5 teams advanced to the second round. All four were winning at half time and all four pulled ahead for big margins of victory. Next week we are going to see some great games. By the way, our new crew of referees were working last night and did a fine job. Welcome to Walt Popyk and his crew of referees.
First round results:
#1 BCC 1 beat # 8 Riverwood 67-43
#2 Perfecting beat #7 Mitcham 89-53
#3 Grace beat #6 Trinity 66-42
#4 Lakeside lost to #5 Community 34-51
Semi Finals and Finals:
Main Gym at 7pm - #1 BCC 1 versus #5 Community
Ax Gym at 7pm - #2 Perfecting versus #3 Grace
Main Gym at 8:30 pm - The MACBL Fall 2005 Championship
In the Ax Gym Grace had the unenviable task of taking down Perfecting. Willy and Terrence combined for 30 in the game. Despite Frank putting down 4 triples scoring 18, Grace trailed 17 at the half and faded to a 67-41 loss.
In the Main Gym we were ready to see the BCC #1 press crack down on Community. It never happened. AJ put in 11 of Com's first half 21, and BCC had only managed 15 points until Steve launched a 3/4 court prayer at the buzzer that banked in cutting the lead to 3. Surprisingly, it was Com with the energy to start the half going on a 14 - 3 run to ice the game and advance to the championship game with a 52-38 win.
After a break the teams got down to business. Perfecting pulled ahead early by spreading the court and getting everyone involved, but Com would not go away keeping close at the half trailing 28-21. In the second half Com started to assert their size advantage getting 10 from Dennis Marko cutting the score to 38-36. Not to be denied Willie and Terrence stepped it up pulling ahead to a Perfecting Championship win of 54-44.
Have a great break, praise God, and try to stay in shape because we get it going on 1/9/06 for another season of MACBL basketball. We say goodbye to the Perfecting team and welcome Calvary back into the league. The schedule page is updated
