One down and one to go! That is a fact for the Pubbers this evening as they managed to secure a double digit victory against the Sports Page team who so brazenly knocked off the Brazen Fox last night to earn a berth in the White Plains Finals.
This game was a dramatic shift in pace having faced the young, thoroughbreds of CW Post the prior evening, with the pace slowing down to a crawl in the first half. The man to man defense held up for the Pubbers and free throws were critical and made all night long by the Pubbers.
In perhaps the most bizarre turn of events in a basketball game that this reporter has ever seen, the opponents had a player who could not be stopped from behind the three point arc in the second half and his threes had kept them in the game. It was a clinic in three point shooting from deep and with guys draped on him. With a little over a minute left and the Pubbers clinging to an scanty 8 point lead, the player inexplicably benched himself it seemed. There appeared to be a little team argument brewing and after his departure the Pubbers were able to spread the floor and wait for the fouling to begin.
So game one goes to the Pubbers with two games left to win one for the ultimate prize. It will not be easy as the opponents can certainly score, were missing their big guy down low tonight, and hung tough down the stretch.
Next game Monday at Eastview! Rest up, heal thy wounds, and let's make next Monday the final game of this season!
