After the Game Coach AG said, “I was pleased with my team effort on the defensive end but we couldn’t finish on the offensive end of the court” Game 2 Game 2 was a barn burner. Both games were played in 12 minute half and these two teams were on fire. They were trading baskets all day. The hottest team (B-town Ballers) in the league came out on top 41- 38. This Game was full of exciting plays. Coach Darian “Bird” Bryant “had his guys ready to play. The B-town Ballers were playing to the Polk Co. Boyz pace (Run & Gun) but made all the big buckets in the end. Robert Butler poured in a season and league high 22 points. He took all the big shots when needed and made good decisions with the ball. Coach Sabb was short changed on players but his roles players really played their hearts out and almost pulled it out in the end. Javarious Mcroy let the PC Boyz with his season high 19 points. These are the people that make this league possible for the kids to do something constructive with their time. Without these guys this would not be possible. Coach Darian Bryanat Kerry Jones, Ronnie Sabb, and Andrew Garrison. Thanks Coaches, The Players and Coach Jones
