Sign of the Twine: Midweek Special, Day 10

Game Time! 


Game 1, Team Regulators vs Runnin Rebels

With the Regulators (4-6) giving the Runnin Rebels (7-2) their second loss of the season, team Regulators seems to have arrived. As the underdog no one expected them to win, but they did – all because they played team ball. With Bigg Dogg taking the leadership, Silk Money 13 points (5/14 from the field), 8 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block. The Blanket 12 points (4/9 from the field), 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals. Bigg Dogg 10 points (shooting 5/11), 5 rebounds, and 1 steal. Jezzy, J-Dubb and 4-0-9 totaled 16 points. Runnin Rebels leading scorer, The Phenom faced double teams throughout the game. With The Phenom handcuffed, Scrappy and Scoop had free range to shoot at will. Can anybody say: “The Wild, Wild, West?”

The team shot themselves right out of a win by shooting 18/60 as a team. Regulators totally outplayed the first place Runnin Rebels to a 50-39 victory. The Phenom was held to a lowly 10 points (shooting 4/21 from the field). He finished with 13 boards, 3 assists, and 1 steal. Scrappy was 6/15 from the field (13 points), 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. The Carpenter, Scoop, The General, Hill-Top, Nate and Wayn’s World combined for a total of 16 points. Runnin Rebels are still on pace to clinch the regular season championship.

Today’s second match team Sky High vs Funky Technicians

Point guard, Heart-N-Soul, blazed team Sky High with 22 points in the first half. Not trying to be outplayed by the Funky Technicians, Sky High’s Lil’ Giant, Frost tallied 18 of his team’s 36 first half points. The two point guards was on fire! With these two teams plagued by fouls (Pit Bull and Nasty Nas foul out) Sky High made a comeback 64-61 with 2:41 left on the clock. The Sky High comeback came to an end once Frost fouled out and then E-Smoove. Heart-N-Soul put his team on his back and carried the Funky Technicians to a win. Heart-N-Soul was 13/18 from the field (30 points), 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks. For a small man, that’s big boy numbers.

Helping him with the win, Bucktown 5/13 (12 points), 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. Tone “Wild Thing” Loc 11 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 steals. Pit Bull 9 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assist. Pablo, Jimi Jam and Nasty Nas combined for 12 points. Team Sky High played with a lot of energy. Its an unfortunate loss for a team with so much potential. Their two star players, E-Smoove and Frost fouled out with under a minute to play, leaving Billy Ho to carry the team. His 10 points in the second half was not enough to pull through. Funky Technicians win 74-68.

Sky High stats: Frost 10/21 from the field (25 points), 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. E-Smoove (20 points) 7/18 from the field, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal. Billy Ho 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals. King Cobra 5 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Ali 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals.
