Can you believe it? A nine seed won the whole thing. Congratulations to the Jackson 8 – Lob City team for bringing home the hardware. They had to win two games last week, and then two games yesterday. They first took down the Bank Shots in a very well played game. Jason F. was player of the game, helping lead his team to the nine point victory.

In the other semifinal, Half Court Trap game won by two points in overtime against Hung Like Manute. Ryan H. was player of the game. Manute held the ball for the last 30 seconds for a do or die situation. Unfortunately, the shot was long which sent the game into overtime. In the last seconds of overtime, Manute drove to the rim to tie the game, but missed.

Playing with only six guys, Half Court Trap game was a little outnumbered. Jackson 8 played all eight players and rotated pretty well-keeping the legs fresh. Jackson went into halftime with a five point lead, but it was in the second half when they took off. Jackson 8 scored twelve unanswered points to build a 20 point lead. From then on out, it was only a matter of time.

Thanks for a great season. The Spring league is currently sold out. I will be working on extra gym space.
