#1 Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face 54 - #16 NWA 37
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
NWA showed up with 4 guys, and Chris Sweitzer helped them out by playing for them. Sweitzer starred for NWA, in what will surely be their best game all year, while Conor Healy shined for Barifinkle/Team Sit on My Face.	"The Irish Swingman" Conor Healy. As predicted, it was all Healy in this one, scoring 22 in Barifinkle's 13th straight win, since the team was created for Junior Night League. Cory Berceau added 15 for the defending champs.	"Become a Fanilow" - Adam Gutman, trying to attract viewers to Barifinkle + Marty Heck and Gutman (named Barry Manilow and Co.) dance tomorrow during dance day, periods 5 + 7.
Up Next: Barifinkle vs. Tallula. NWA vs. Theo.

#4 The Express 39 - #2 The Bomb Squad 34
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
John Haller was able to utilize screens from teammates and make easy lay-ups. Jeff Dsida was frustrated with his team's lack of helpside D, resulting in John Haller lay-ups. However, John got a lot of help this week from brother Matt, with a season high 10, Randy Petcov with 6, and Tim Denenberg not only adding 4 points, but double digit rebounds for The Express.	John Haller. He led all scorers with 16 points. Dsida and Matt Traub led the Bomb Squad with virtually all their points. However, The Bomb Squad's poor shooting performance stopped them from winning. Down 9 at the half, The Express was able to control 2nd half tempo, and make sure The Bomb Squad couldn't get back in it. Although Dsida was productive in the post at the end, it was too late.	"My winter break is officially ruined" - Jeff Dsida, not happy with the outcome.
Up Next: The Bomb Squad vs. Coot's Coot. The Express vs. Hank Mardukas.

#3 Tallula 26 - #6 Ortega 20
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Tallula was the better team, and led the entire time. Even without stars Connor O'Halleran and Teddy Challenger, they were able to win. The score indicates a closer game than it was, with Ortega capitalizing on free throws near the end. George Lopez made sure this game stayed low scoring, calling touch fouls wherever he could.	Jeremy Rosenfeld. Rosenfeld had 11 in a low-scoring affair. James Knight added just a few less for Tallula, who used the line as a motivator for this game. Tallula goes to 3-0 now, setting up a great match-up next week against Barifinkle.	"You guys are supposed to be the best game of the night, but no, you guys suck!" - The Ref
Up Next: Tallula vs. Barifinkle. Ortega vs. McGarry Dangles Inc.

#5 Theo 41 - #14 Supreme Court 18
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	QUOTE
Walt Lyon dominated an undersized Supreme Court. With a self-proclaimed "triple-double", Walt was able to win this one for team Theo.	Despite Walt's good game, it was a team effort for Theo. Their defense was top-notch, limiting Supreme Court to just 12 points, before they started "jacking around" at the end of the game.	"We're waiting for you, Barifinkle" - Walt Lyon
Up Next: Theo vs. NWA. Supreme Court vs. Off In The Woods. #10 Re-Elect Judge Jim Wascher 26 - #7 Medieval Times 19 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Andrew Roche and TJ Keene, Medieval Times' two tallest players, were sidelined for the game with injuries. That left Medieval Times as the shortest team in the league, versus the tallest team in the league in Re-Elect Judge Jim Wascher. Judge Jim knocked down some key free throws at the end as well. Connor Smith. The tall rower contributed 5 blocks to Judge Jim Wascher's defensive attack, forcing some outside shots in the later stages. It was 17-17, but Judge Jim Wascher used their height to pound at a much shorter Medieval Times, whose tallest player is shorter than Judge Jim's shortest player. "Guys the spread is eight, your not gonna cover!" - TJ Keene Up Next: Medieval Times vs. Boo Radley. Jim Wascher vs. Phase 4. #8 Boo Radley and Friends 33 - #17 Phase 4 28 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Boo Radley realized they might lose to the #17 team in the league, and go 0-3. After a 15-15 knot at half, Boo Radley's defense provided a momentum shift, with some steals and breakaway lay-ups. Michael Krasnow, after being cut by The Bullets, and being diagnosed as half-blind, makes Phase 4 a much more legitimate team. Spencer Levin. Levin clinched a close one for Boo Radley with some clutch free throws in the closing stretch. Overall though it was a balanced scoring attack. Levin had 12, Nic Boury, David Winter, Jared Sperling all had 6, and Alex Lappin made an appearance and scored 2. "It came down to free throws and we couldn't produce. But as I said last week, We r getting better" - Sam Shapiro "It was over when Nicky B started hitting threes" - Nic Boury Up Next: Boo Radley vs. Medieval Times. Phase 4 vs. Jim Wascher. #9 Mallard Magic 32 - #13 McGarry Dangles Inc. 21 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE McGarry Dangles scored only 5 points in the first half. Brian Frett. Frett recorded a double double with 10 points and 12 rebounds. The former varsity player still has something to prove to a lot of people out there, but this week was a step in the right direction for both Frett and Mallard Magic. "This team dangles like Voit on ice" - Gordie Campbell, comparing Stu Voit's less than stellar skating skills to team McGarry. Up Next: Mallard Magic vs. BYE. McGarry Dangles vs. Ortega. #12 The Bullets 59 - #18 Off In The Woods 41 Robert Gorodetsky had 33 in the win for the Bullets. Ben Mirkin contributed 16 for The Bullets. The kid could be the best spot up shooter in the school. Jared Hammernik's 16 weren't enough as Off In The Woods dropped to 0-3, but in my eyes, they have separated themselves from Hank Mardukas in the discussion for worst team in the league. The Bullets move to 1-2. #15 Coot's Coot 54 - #19 Hank Mardukas 35 IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... QUOTE Hank Mardukas signed Danny McGowan to their team. McGowan is the team's third best player, behind James Bartels and Chris Reagan. Both teams utilized the alley-oop all game. Jack Russell. Give the kid credit, he played the game of his life for Coot's Coot, knocking down more shots than in the rest of his life combined. Mike Ahern's late perimeter shooting wasn't enough for Hank Mardukas. "Regardless of score, this is a win for Hank Mardukas, and Mike Ahern is the closest thing to street ball Night League has to offer" - James Bartels Up Next: Coot's Coot vs. The Bomb Squad. Hank Mardukas vs. The Express.
