BATTLE OF THE BACK COURT - ROUND 5


Battle of the Back Court – 12th  Match Up Round 5 (Final Round)

Rush Hour – Andre Dabney
Rush Hour – Anthony Nelson
Rush Hour – Jerrel Thompson

Rush Hour’s Andre Dabney needed a similar great performance as he did against Country Line in the 1st game to have a chance of being crowned King of the Back Court.  Anthony Nelson would have to put on a game of the ages and Jerrel arrived too late to have a chance although his previous performance helped Rush Hour hand Bada Bing their first defeat in 2 years at the Gee-Gee Brown Tournament.

This was a great game.  Country Line was giving it to Rush Hour but the tri factor back court of Nelson, Dabney and Thompson brought their team from sure defeat to send the game into overtime.  Country Line learned from last year as their bench was too deep and fresh.  Country Line would pull away in overtime to avenge their only defeat in the Gee-Gee Brown Tournament and walk away with the crown.

All three guards gave a solid performance.  Nelson would be the team’s high scorer with 16 points.  Jerrel gave a 4:1 assist to turnover ratio but Dabney gave a complete balance effort and the elder statesmen got the edge in the final match up of the Battle of the Back Court.

Game 12 advantage goes to Andre Dabney
50% shooting from the floor
50% shooting from behind the arc
3 assists
3 rebounds
2 steals
3:0 assist to turnover ratio
