Thanks to everyone who helped with the article in the Tribune last Thursday. I think the reporter did a really good job and you guys had some good
things to say. Thanks so much. I have a few extra copies so if anyone would like a hard copy of the article let me know and I’ll bring you one.
I’m very thankful for the article. It’s a great way to celebrate. I appreciate all you guys. Like Clint always says to his players and coaches, “I love you guys.” I appreciate the fellowship we share through basketball and the Lord. God bless all of you guys. It’s been a great year.

Then we will have the birthday party for the league, luncheon and hopefully a guest speaker 30 minutes after the game is over.
So please invite everyone you know to come to the championship and then to the luncheon afterwards. Just let me know how many are coming so I can make sure we have enough food. We will have catered food and hope to set up tables and eat right in the gym afterwards.

Brandon Harvey needed 32 points to overtake Geno Bianco for the scoring title. He finished the season with a 31.5 average to beat out Geno Bianco’s 30.88. The game was an exciting shootout. Ben Mahtani raised his final scoring average with a 37-point performance. Here are the top five scorers for the season based on playing at least 7 games or more. Nate Wojiechowski of SJF had a 35.2 average but he only appeared in four games.
