The CYBA's version of March Madness continued today for Jacob's Orange team.
CYBA Grade 6 Playoffs - Round 2
The #2 seeded Trojans (6-3)
vs.
The #3 seeded Orange (6-3)
This promised to be a good one and it was.
Let the hand-checking begin!
Crashing the boards
Nice vertical jump
Dribble driving
Trying to clog a passing lane
What is that Trojan looking at?
Man-to-Man defense
The teams both started the game at a torrid pace.
End of the First Quarter
Trojans - 10
Orange - 7
Looking for an open man
Battling for a rebound . . .
. . . that Jacob gobbled up
Another missed shot,
another rebound opportunity
While the competition on the
court was hot and heavy . . .
. . . the spectators were having fun
during the time outs
About to in-bound the ball
More hand fighting just before
an Orange free throw
The Second Quarter was a good one for the Orange.
Halftime Score
Orange - 17
Trojans - 16
Jacob sat out the Third Quarter
The furious battle continued as the Orange opened up their Halftime lead.
End of the Third Quarter
Orange - 25
Trojans - 21
There was lots of fast paced action
Jacob resting during an Orange free throw
The Orange big man, Teddy,
scoring in the paint
This could get weird
Running to find an open spot on the floor
The Orange's best all-around
player is #4 Enzo
Enzo's layup for two!
DEFENSE!
The Orange's designated in-bounder
DENY the pass . . .
. . . disrupt the shot if you must
Crunch time, crisp passes are a MUST!
All under control as the Trojans
shoot a free throw
The game came down to the Trojans last possession but the Orange held on to advance in the tournament.
Final Score
Orange (7-3) - 30
Trojans (6-4) - 28
WOW! What an exciting game indeed. Only one thing to do now . . .
. . . Topper's Pizza to celebrate
By the way, in Round 2 of the NCAA DIII Men's Basketball Tournament at Cal Lutheran University tonight, the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Stags (22-6) advanced to the Sweet Sixteen with its victory over the Whitworth Pirates (21-9), 69-67.
On to news from the continent . . .
The first full weekend of games
in the DI Italian Football League
Eight of the nine IFL teams would play, four today and four on Sunday.
The Ancona Dolphins had a solid
victory over the Legnano Frogs
The Torino Giaguari offense topped
the 40 point mark for the second straight
week in their win over the Bologna Warriors
GW and his pals were
PARTY ANIMALS!
I agree but I wish he could
have learned more and been
more at peace with himself
