BATTLE OF THE BACK COURT - ROUND 2...

Battle of the Back Court – 4^th Match Up Round 2

3Z PleaZe – Sekou Harris

3Z PleaZe – Allen Brown

South Side – Antoine Patterson

With elimination facing the loser, it was expected to see a heated game.  It was also expected to see Antoine Patterson pick up his game against the younger backcourt of Sekou Harris and Allen Brown.  Brown’s defensive efforts seem to have ensured that Patterson would not have one of his lights out performances.  With Brown’s focus on defense, this left it up to Harris to carry the floor leadership.  Harris was near perfect from the floor although he took minimal shots.  Sekou’s balance effort ended Antoine Patterson’s and South Side visit to the Gee Gee Brown Tournament. 

Edge goes to Sekou Harris as Allen Brown’s defensive effort slowing down the explosive Antoine Patterson gave Brown runner up in this Battle of the Back Court match up.

Game 4 advantage goes to Sekou Harris

75% shooting from the foul line

Battle of the Back Court – 5^th Match Up Round 2

Bada Bing – Mike Gordon

Bada Bing – Derrick Gordon

Team A-Game – Mike Price

Team A-Game – Anthony Baskerville

Team A-Game – Tyrone Johnson

One of the most intriguing Battle of the Back Court match ups was in the game with defending champions Bada Bing and Team A-Game.  Between the 2 teams there were three 1st Team All-Staters and three Union County Player's of Year.  Mike Gordon seem to let the fan’s know that he may be one of the elder states men but was not ready to hand over the reign to his younger brother or the younger guards from Team-A.  Derrick Gordon had a solid game again but Mike Gordon did him better by controlling the game on all ends of the floor. Both Gordon’s would out distance the Team A-Game guards and hand them a lop-sided loss.

Game 5 advantage goes to Mike Gordon

Game high 18-points

63% shooting from the floor

40% shooting from behind the arc

7 rebounds

7 steals

3 assists

Battle of the Back Court – 6^th Match Up Round 2

Rush Hour – Andre Dabney

Rush Hour – Anthony Nelson

No head to head match up in this contest but Rush Hour had to contend with the very talented Country Line out of Philly.  Anthony Nelson played a solid game dropping off 3 assists and shooting 84% from the free throw line to get into double digits in scoring.

But it was the play of Andre Dabney that electrified the crowd.  Dabney used his elusive quickness to outplay the talented backcourt of Country Line who featured several Division 1/Semi Pro players.  Dabney connected on a deep corner trey over a 6’8” defender to complete an amazing come back and help Rush Hour win the game.

Game 6 advantage goes to Andre Dabney

Game high 22-points

83% shooting from the floor

67% shooting from behind the arc

3 rebounds

2 assists
