BASKETBALL SEASON AND THERE'S
BEEN SOME TIGHT RACES,
SPECIFICALLY IN THE NIC-10. IN
DIVISION B, THE 10-0 JEFFERSON
J- HAWKS WERE A GAME UP ON THE
9- AND-1 EAST E-RABS. TODAY
THEY MET ON THE HARDWOOD AND
OH BABY DID THIS ONE LIVE UP
TO THE HYPE. 1. BOTH THESE
TEAMS KNEW WHAT WAS AT STAKE
HERE THE PRESSURE WAS IMMENSE.
2. IN THE FIRST HALF JEFFERSON
COULD DO NO WRONG. THAT'S
ANTONIO 'BIG TONE' LEAVY
GETTING THE J-HAWKS ON THE
BOARD. 3. A LITTLE LATER DRIVE
BY LATRELL GRAHAM WON'T GO...
BUT LEAVY IS THERE FOR THE
PUTBACK HE HAD 14 IN THIS ONE.
4. THE E-RABS ON THE OTHER END
GET A THREE BALL FROM MATTHEW
HOARDE. AT THE HALF EAST
TRAILED BY 12. 5. IN THE
SECOND HALF THEY RATCHED UP
THE INTENSITY. 6. SOME
STIFLING DEFENSE HERE THEY
FORCE THE TURNOVER AND IT'S
THE MAN MARKARIOUS 'BIGGIE'
LUSTER THROWING IT DOWN WITH
AUTHORITY! 7. TWO-POINT GAME
FINAL POSSESSION FOR JEFFERSON
TO TIE IT UP... HAVE TO GET IT
IN... IT'S TIPPED AWAY AND IN
AN UNBELIEVABLE COMEBACK THE
EAST E-RABS HUNG TOUGH. BIGGIE
LUSTER WAS THE MAN OF THE
MATCH DROPPING 16 POINTS! THE
E- RABS WIN THIS ONE 48-TO-46.
THEY'RE NOW TIED WITH
JEFFERSON AT THE TOP OF
DIVISION 'B'
OVER AT HARLEM THE TOP TWO
TEAMS IN DIVISION 'A' WENT AT
IT. 1. NICE TAKE BY BOYLAN'S
TYLER HOOD WITH THE JUMPSTOP.
2. THIS TIME A GREAT PASS
AHEAD BY TRSITAN FORD TO LUKE
LEOMBRUNI WHO LAYS IT IN. 3.
IN THE SECOND HALF BOYLAN KEPT
POURING IT ON. REBOUNDED BY
FORD ... AND THE LEFTY SPOTS
UP WITH A SMOOTH STROKE AND
GETS IT TO FALL FROM THREE. 4.
COMEBACK. ALEXANDER WILSON
TAKES ONE DRIBBLE AND GETS THE
AND- ONE TO GO. 5. BUT BOYLAN
WAS JUST THE BETTER TEAM
TODAY. DRIVE AND FINISH.
THAT'S JOEY APPINO. BOYLAN
