Our first game highlight was between our (9) seen team Big Easy and our (5) seed team Envy in the semi-final.  Both teams had beat higher seeds to get to the game, and so both teams felt like they had a lot to prove.  Despite an early offensive onslaught from Big Easy, most from their girl, Envy’s pinpoint accuracy from behind the arc soon catapulted them ahead, where they would remain, despite a valiant last-ditch effort from Big Easy.  When all was said and done, Envy came out with the win 20-16.

 
Our second game highlight is from the championship game, between Envy and Grabbing Assists.  Both teams have some spectacular outside shooters, but after having to play 3 games already (whereas Grabbing Assists got a first round bye), fatigue started to become a factor for Envy.  Their outside shooting, normally accurate and reliable, just wasn’t falling for them.  When the final whistle blew, Grabbing Assists was crowned our new champion, with a score of 21-9.

We want to extend another big thank you to all of our great teams and spectators this season! Each of you added to our already awesome environment, and we can’t wait to do this all over again soon!

After some lead changes, and with the clock winding down, 4 Kings’ female player nailed a three, which happened to also be the nail in the coffin. 4 Kings and Fair Maiden came out on top, 19-16.
