The Drama:
This week the Shannon Celtics were without both of their gaurds (Skip, Alexander) and were also without forward Jason Bibens. Another issue was that traffic prevented Cisco from being able to pickup coach Brown. The Celtics only had 6 men for the entire game and things did not look good before tipoff.
The Summary:
Derek and Joe came up big. They stepped into the gaurd positions, moved the ball around, and worked the ball downlow. Joe was an ironman playing the entire game. Derek brought the ball up and made great decisions down the stretch.
Clyde Frazier
says Kevin and Jared were omnipotent in the paint. Jared made his Shannon debut and had meshed with the team from the first practice and the entire team raved about his addition to the squad.
Shaun and Cisco did their best Charles Oakley impersonations, coming up with loose balls, getting big rebounds and playing hard nose defense. (Those little things that win big games)
The Result:
SHANNON CELTICS DEFEATED ROCK BOTTOM 36-34 AND IMPROVED TO THE FRANCHISE'S BEST START EVER!
Game Notes:
Skip has suffered a family loss and will be out until further notice. Our thoughts, love, and prayers are with the Wills family and we look forward to seeing Skip again.
Who Got Next?
Two undefeated teams The Celtics and Ave Point face off this Sunday at 6PM.
Everyone is asked to support our sponsor the Shannon Lounge immediately after the game this week. It is with their sponsorship that we were able to reduce roster size while keeping the league fees affordable.
