The Tartans took it easy last night and were still able to put away a Sentinels squad that shot poorly from the field, going only 15-80 from the field. Matthew Rockwell did muster a double double on the night, doing nearly everything for an outmatched Sentinels squad. Murciano recorded a double double for the Tartans, while Adam Carranza led the night in scoring, dropping 18 for the Tartans.

Henry Plant received some help tonight from Thurman Heard and Jerry Coulter, who delivered their first double double of the season, but it wasn't enough for the Plugs to upset the Poros. Plant led the Plugs with 18. The Poros defense was solid in this one and passed the ball well, accounting for assists on 73% of their baskets. Despite no players recording double doubles, five Poros players scored at least 12. Robert Villalobos led all scorers with 32.

The Savages continued their losing streak as the Believers doubled them up without even trying. Devadze and Spirovic each dropped 19 for the Savages but 28 turnovers certainly didnt help their efforts, while Josef Sik has been nearly non existent for GS of late. Manolo Ruguero and Igor Dlubacz recorded double doubles for the Believers, while Dorian Cardwell led all scorers with 27.

Team Turn Up scratched another tally in the win column, in a low scorer against West Palm Beach. Mario Chen tacked his 3rd double double of the season but it wasn't enough to take down the the starting 5 of the Turn Ups. Dennis was the only starter not to score double digits but led the night on the boards with 14 while Vlado Vouk was the leading scorer with 18. Chen led all scorers on the night with 22.

Morgan Town only gave up double digits in 1 quarter, as the Bucks mustered the lowest scoring night on the season. The Bucks went 1-23 from deep which didnt help matters, but a well rounded Mad Dogs crew saw 6 players reach at least 12 on the night, including double doubles from Ziquan, Barao and Lee Han. Deivid Donianiz led all scorers with 25.

The Green Peppers 2-3 zone finally put Mike Churchill and the Condors in check, holding him to only 8 points in 48 minutes. Rebolledo captured the games only double double going 11/14 while Maximo Montalvo supplied a team high 28. It was a failing effort, but Daniil Bosyakov lead all scorers with 35.

The Generals won a tight one on the road against the Mercy Buckets, despite a near triple double for Rafael Xaxim who filled in splendidly for the injured Chen Xujia and will likely remain a focal point in the Buckets offense. Oriol Pujol continued his dominance, recording the only double double for the Generals, with a game high 37.

It was clear, the Force is not in a win now mode, as they took it easy against a talented Machete club and rested most of its normal starters, in order to get more minutes for trainees Andrade, Leonardis and Jiazhi. This was the only game of the night that saw no double doubles as the Machetes played a lot of iso ball and spread the minutes out evenly. Mimmo Massaccesi led all scorers with 28.

Player of the Night.
Oriol Pujol 37 points, 13 steals, 3 assists, 2 blocks 2 steals

I absolutely love these write-ups, keep em coming. They make this league a lot of fun, so thanks for the effort you put in.

In one of the lowest scoring weekends in league history, only 5 teams eclipsed the 100pt mark, as defenses and poor shooting made their mark in IV.11.

The Tartans bigs were held in check as the young phenom Whitney Jacques was held to his lowest scoring night of the season despite 18 rebounds to his name. The game prep by the Machete Kills coaching staff proved too much for Tartans. Dvir Parann limited some of Jacques rebounding by pulling down 16 boards of his own. Mimmo Massaccesi led all scorers, dropping 22 for the Machetes.

The Force marked their first win of the season, taking it easy against the Sentinels holding them to only 46 points on the night. Clyde Cross was the only bright spot, pulling down 19 boards for tech Southtowns club. Matija Jabucanin led all scorers with 14, just missing his second double double of the season.

The Poros put up a good fight against the Mad Dogs but we still squelched 72-100. Tadeu Orbaiz was limited to 13 points going 5/15 while LF Valverde recorded a double double for the Poros. Chen Ziquan recorded his 8th straight double double despite a slow night, as Bronislaw Nowacki led all scorers with 19.

Mercy Buckets fell to the believers in a 54-66 snore fest. At various parts of the game, fans were left wondering if they were watching a high school girls matchup. The buckets shot only 23% from the fields as Ventura accounted for 13 of their 54 points. The Believers saw 4 players reach double digits including double doubles from Igor Dlubacz and Tony France. Yoann Frangeul led all scorers with 13.

The Peppers just missed free taco night, tallying 99 against the beach crew in a 40 point beach. The Peppers backcourt was too much for the Beach goers as Montalvo recorded a double double and Lyman lead the boards with 16. Mario Chen was held to just 4points on the night but still played a role on the glass, coming up with 14 rebounds. Ross Edmondson scored a season high 14 for WPB but Eriq Leon Leithner led all scorers with 22.

Nobody would have guessed that the game of the night would have come from the cellar dwellers of the Great 8 but the Plugs just topped the Bucks in a 104-103 battle. The Front court for the Plugs scored 89 of the 104 points proving too much for the Bucks.Gilberto Manzano did his part putting up 23 and 9 but his 7 turnovers were costly and helped the Plugs pull out the road W. Henry Plant led all scorers with 29.

The Generals trounced the Savages 110-43 providing not only the largest win margin of the night, but also the lowest points against. The Savages expected more from Davadze who only captured 4 points on the night and was out played by Josef Šik who scored 6 off the bench. The only bright spot was Špirović who filled the cup for 19. The Generals were successful in part to their board play, out jumping the Savages 66-36. Oriol Pujol amassed 11/16 in the games only double double while Randolf Fleck accounted for 23 points, leading all scorers without even trying.

The Turn Ups had a good battle from the Condors but pulled out the win on the road, 100-88. Vlado Vouk and Kasper Loft returned to form combining for 43, while Vouk and Toni Papp also had double doubles, each recording 13 rebounds. Mike Chirchill was stifled for the 3rd straight game only contributing 8 points. Wayne McCloud tried to pick up his slack by going 22/18 and Daniil Bosyakov lead all scorers, dropping 33 for the second night in a row.

Hopefully the disparity in the league will dissipate some as the season goes on but the new acquisitions toe IV.11 seem to favor the top dogs, and will likely lead to more blowouts and lopsided records.

Good game, thought I could get away with taking it easy on the road while resting Tony France for the cup but guess not! Definitely surprised me with the crunch time.

Appreciate it! Thank you!

Sorry no write up this past matchup. Got a nasty infection in my throat and I've been knocked out the last few days

No worries, hope you're feeling better.

Also props to Green Peppers. There is hope!

Tuesday night action brought the overall scoring back up a bit, but the kids still seem to be on rims occasionally in IV.11 as the scoring average in the league was just a shade over 80points.

Part of the reason for the low average was because the Condors apparently didn't show up to play. Mike Churchill got his numbers as usual going 16 and 14 but the rest of the team only combined for 32 points of their own. The Generals had no problem scoring as six players finished with at least 10. Oriol Pujol continued his offensive brilliance going 12/15 while Miguel Ángel Baños led all scorers with 20.

In the tightest game of the night the Sentinels did just enough to trump the Plugs in a 86-76 slug fest. Despite giving up double doubles to Curtis Kyle and Merle Oakley, the Plugs may have been able to win, but their inexperience bested them, coughing the ball is 15 times and committing 21 fouls. Henry Plant got back to work in this one leading all scorers with 26 but it wasn't enough for the Plugs.

The Machetes have a firm grip as one of the top teams in the league, and Saturdays matchup vs the Mad Dogs should be one we all tune in to. Moving to 6-0 against a Poros team who put more effort into the matchup, the Machetes spread the ball around the perimeter, were 5 players were able to amass double digit scoring nights. Patrick Waziri kept the Poros off the glass, pulling down 16 boards. LF Valverde wasn't fazed, going 12/11 on the night and Tadeu Orbaiz led all scorers with 27.

The Savages struggled to contain the bigs of Team Turn Up. Despite planning for them to look inside, Vlado Vouk still finished with 18points going 8/10 from the field. Devadze hasn't proven to be worth the hefty fee the Savages paid as his game rating hasn't been over 5.5 since joining the squad including a zero point effort in this one. 4/5 starters for Turn Up scored double digits while Richard Dennis just missed, getting 9 points and 11 boards. Sylvain Carriér lead all scorers with 27 but it wasn't enough for the Savages.

Morgantown continued its dominance, becoming one of 2 teams to go 6-0 to start the season, in a 94-66 routing of the Tartans. Grant Jennings finished with 21/15 but he needed some help from the rest of the team against such a tough opponent. Whitney Jacques came off the bench in this one, as the front office looked for him to get some rest. Chen Ziquan can do no wrong and despite his old knees and back, is still a force to be reckoned with, going 10/14 on the night. Aleksander Kamnik led all scorers with 23.

The Green Peppers wanted to dethrone the Believers and did so in this one, playing Crunch time and getting the 75-61 win. A battle of bigs erupted in this one as Leroy Lyman, Yiorgakis Grouspas, Ioannis Pouliadis and Mink Lenk all walked away with double doubles. The difference maker in this one was Pepper, Nino Kocentanovic who led all scorers with 19 including converting all 7 FT attempts.

Mercy Buckets dumped a hurting on the Beach goers in a 97-50 wave. It's a good thing the WPB execs brought in Klevas Šlianžys because he may as well have been the only one who dressed. He finished with 21 in his IV.11 debut while the rest of the team went 8/60 from the field. Rafael Xamxim went for 10/20 off the bench for the Buckets and Dane Marsh led the scoring drive with 23.

In the highest scoring game of the night, the Force took out the Bucks 108-88. The Force continue to give their rookies lots of key minutes for training, but the Coach has been pulling them out late in games, despite being ordered not to. Matija Jabucanin had a great night, going 13 and 17 while the Bucks Ellis Carlisle got his own double double, going 18/13. The Force kept the Bucks off the glass out rebounding them 62-49 as Jose Andrade and Gilberto Manzano each lead their team in scoring with 24.
