Boys Final:
MCS was confident coming into this final against
SPS. The two teams were surprise finalists after both knocked off higher seeds
to make the finals. The two played to a 9-9 tie in the first as Sigourney Jackson
popped in 5 for SPS and Greg Lamoria and Brandon Vincent each scored 4 for MCS. The
second quarter was a different story as Jackson displayed incredible coolness,
scoring 4 more points, dishing off numerous assists and commanding the boards along side David Newsome, one of the top rebounders
in the league. SPS was on fire from the second quarter on and seemed destined
to win this one as they dropped in 5 three pointers, including three from Justin Proctor. After
leading 23-15 at the half, SPS fired in 16 in the third and never looked back as Jackson
sank 17 points for SPS and Proctor added 13 enroute to the 51-31 Championship victory.
Jackson was named the tournament MVP and has already scored more points
at the mid-season point than the SYBL Player of the Year scored all of last year (170 versus 166 points!) Jeff Gagnon received the Coaches “Hustle” award for the runner up MCS team and had an outstanding
final, scoring 9 points.

Girls Final:
SJS and ANS always play close, tough games and
this one was no different. After ANS scored the first 6 points of the game, SJS
roared back with 10 straight of their own to take a slim 14-13 halftime lead. Cassie
Walter and Destiny Sheffield led ANS with 4 points each in the first half while Ali Johnson scored 5 and Meghan Gleason 4
for SJS. The real story of the game was Jessica Worcester, who, every time SJS
seemed to get on a roll managed to come up with a huge defensive play or was in the right place to get a much needed basket
for ANS. Her relentless effort propelled the Eagles to victory. Worcester forced 6 SJS turnovers in the third quarter which
proved the key to this slim 25-21 win. Haley Bennett hit 2 late baskets for SJS
to get them close but it was not enough to hand ANS their first loss of the season or keep them from winning the Championship. Gleason and Bennett finished with 6 points each and Johnson had 5 for SJS. Samantha Geckle led ANS with 8 points and Sheffield added 7 for the Eagles. Worcester finished with 6 points and was
named MVP for her game changing performance on both offense and defense. Meghan
Gleason received the Coaches “Hustle” award for the runner up SJS team and was dominating on defense throughout
to go along with her 6 points.

Boys Semi-Finals:
SMS likes the fast transition game but could not
get that going early on against a tough and determined SPS team. Sigourney Jackson
took command of this one early by scoring 8 first quarter points as SPS took a 12-6 lead after one. Sam Hesse provided dropped in 6 first half points for SMS as the SPS defense stepped up and held Josh Williams
and Alex Alviani, two of the leagues leading scorers, to just one point between them.
SMS did not wake up until the fourth quarter after they were trailing 31-21 and rallied to close within 5 late in the
quarter. Josh Williams scored 8 in the last period to get SMS within striking
range but Jackson answered every SMS challenge, finishing with a game high 21
points and leading SPS to the finals with a 42-37 win. Williams, Alviani and
Hesse each scored 11 points for SMS but the slow start could not be overcome. SPS
controlled the boards with David Newsome and Jackson dominating through most of the game.
MCS was ready for ANS after scoring a big win
against FAW. They were fired up for this game from the beginning, but found tough
going against the number one seed in the tournament. The two teams battled to
a 16-16 first half tie with Doug Wehrle providing the fire works for ANS scoring 9 first half points while Bobby McKinney
countered for MCS with 6 points of his own. The third quarter was a different
story as MCS suffocated ANS shutting them out until early in the fourth quarter and only allowing ANS 3 second half points. Jeff Gagnon was on fire in the second half for MCS scoring 9 points to help MCS put
ANS away 35-19, the worst loss for ANS in over 2 years. Gagnon finished with
12 points while Chad Delahay chipped in another six. Joey Laco had 7 points for
ANS to add to Wehrle’s nine, but it was not enough to keep MCS from heading to the finals.

ANS used a tough defense to put LFS away early
in this quarterfinal game. Jessica Worcester scored 5 first half points to lead

9 points in the first half for MCS. SMB rallied in the second half with aggressive
full court pressure and took an 18-16 lead with 3 minutes to go. However, with
