Week 2 Recap

Reminder: No games this weekend. Play will resume July 12.

The 2nd week began with a late-arriving Swag team falling to Team DMV 53-50. Swag got off to a hot start, but failed to maintain their offense once Team DMV switched to a zone. Swag also made just 6 of 17 free throws, where Team DMV made 19 of 25. Team DMV was led by C. Phelps (16 points) and G. Thomas (13 points). Swag was led by #32 (20 points) and Big Lou Stevens (18 points).

Night Cap defeated Old School 70-66 when "The Captain" Casey Craig (20 points) made a steal in the closing seconds, dribbled the length of the court on a 2 on 1 and then passed to Mark Viggy (12 points) for the winning lay-up. Old School had a chance to tie, but Khari Brown (16 points) missed a 8 footer. Night Cap got out of the gate fast with a 10-0 run fueled by Casey and Jelani (6), but Old School - as they do - came back with 21-5 run of their own as Evans Watson (16 points) displayed his new-found jumper.

High Fliers defeated Moose in a tight finish, 86-77. Moose found themselves down 48-17, but then made a furious comeback to get within 1 - however they couldn't get the lead as they missed 3 layups, two from Big Brian (14 points) who was otherwise unstoppable. The first half was highlighted by a follow up dunk by the High Fliers' Nate (23 points) and then an in-your-face dunk on the other end by Frank (9 points). High Fliers were led by Nate and the "3 Point Machine" Mack (21 points - 5 3's).

Justin Harrison (28 points) and David Shaw (17 points) led a re-built Sons of Travis Henry past The Warriors, 83-80 in double overtime. Justin scored 2 in the first overtime and 5 in the second while point guard Raphael (13 points) scored 4 in the second overtime period. The Warriors were led by the quarter of Evan Burress (18), Jason Thomas (17), Bryan Sullivan (18) and Charles McGuire-Wein (16). The Warriors used deft 3-point shooting to keep them in the game - they hit 10 3's in the game, although none in overtime.

In the final game of the day, 5 Guys defeated a resilient Egg Nog 87-75. Egg Nog fell behind in the first half and was never able to recover. Sean O, the poor man's Tyler Hansbrough, led 5 Guys with 27 points. Chris also dropped 26 for the winners. Egg Nog was led by Dan Comstock, who missed the first week, with 27, 4 from beyond the arc. John and Brian added 20 each in a losing effort. The difference in the game was 5 Guys ability to get to the line - they were 12 of 18 at the line where Egg Nog was only 5 of 7. Had James hit his free throws for 5 Guys the margin would have been greater. James made just 5 of 11 free throws.

Standings and scoring leaders will be updated Thursday.
