After the game, Eric Breeze won the MVP for scoring thirty points, collecting many important assists and playing strong defense. We all learned after the game that Eric was a teammate of DeJuan Blair’s at Schenley.

Anyhow, congratulations to Eric for winning the double honor of being the scoring champion and the MVP of the championship game. That doesn’t happen that often in our league.

It was a great season with the new backboards and rims.

Commissioner Spalding wants to thank everyone for a great season after a two-year layoff and he looks forward to our usual startup for our next regular season in January. Have a great offseason.

Also don’t forget that the book that was published- YOUR LIFE IS LIKE A BASKETBALL- is available either directly from me or on amazon. It includes many photos, stats and writeups of many teams and players in our league as well as sections on the ABA, NBA and missionary basketball in Central America etc. Let me know if you would like to be part of a missionary basketball team with Sports ambassadors someday.

Thanks again and we’ll see you all on the court in January!
