Around the Super 6 - Game 2

Around the Super 6 through Game 2 (12/20-12/28) ... Marco Killingsworth earned his first Player of the Week award as Robert Montgomery U stormed Hershey, 92-35. Marco's 27 points sparked an explosion that included 22 points from Robert Vaden and (can you believe it!!!) 18 from Brian Butch. The 92-point night was RMU's biggest game in whocanrememberwhen? The Knights broke the 70-point mark just once last year. No Hershey player put in enough effort to have his name included in this update ... Great Lakes Christian has a point to prove. After getting ripped by Slick Vitalis with a preseason #5 ranking, the Crusaders are out to show they can play with the league's elite. Mission accomplished in Game 2. Vincent Grier finished with 25 points and Je'Kel Foster added 19 in his season debut, as Great Lakes Christian held off Nelson Christian, 82-70. UNC fell despite big games in Green Bay from Paul Davis and Shannon Brown, who combined for 51 of the Doves 70 points. UNC's Moe Hargrow sat out for "disciplinary reasons". Still, the Doves had a chance to win the game late, but number one pick Kammron Taylor scored only one basket, dropping them into a four-team log jam at 1-1 ... By Oskee Wow-wow standards it was an off week, but the Warriors still had enough to handle Superior Baptist, 70-44. Terence Dials led the way with 19 points and Greg Brunner added 17 for OWW (2-0). Mo Ager finished with 25 points and Jamelle Cornely had 13 to pace the Crusaders.

Around the Super 6 - Game 1

Around the Super 6 through Game 1 (12/12-12/19) ... Shannon Brown scored 27 points as Nelson Christian coasted to a 92-58 win over Robert Montgomery U in the Super 6 season opener. Brown led all scorers to grab Player of the Week honors, while Paul Davis and Moe Hargrow combined for 44 more to lift the Doves near the century mark, which they could've cracked if Dee Brown (8 pts) would've had a decent night. RMU's Brian Butch notched the season's first "Carlton McGee Memorial Goose Egg" in the loss... Alando Tucker scored 25 points and Vedran Vukusic added 23 as Oskee Wow-wow set the tone for its title defense with an easy 88-51 win over Great Lakes Christian. It was another impressive start for the Warriors, who also flirted with triple digits. That's becoming a first game habit for OWW. They started last season by scoring 100... Zero was the key number Hershey's 55-34 win over Superior Baptist. Four players came up empty, including three for SBU. JJ Sullinger tossed in 23 points to pace the Red Storm.
