5:15 GAME: USA 73, STUDS 56
USA Outmuscles Studs 73–56 Behind Balanced Attack and Dominant Rebounding
CARMEL VALLEY, CA — The USA squad asserted control from the jump and never let go, pounding the boards and distributing the rock en route to a convincing 73–56 win over the Studs in Tuesday’s early matchup at Bay Club. In a game defined by depth and discipline, seven different USA players cracked the scoring column, and six had 6+ rebounds as the team flexed their efficiency on both ends of the floor.
Garrett Pagon was a wrecking ball down low, leading all rebounders with 17 boards while pouring in 16 points on 6 made field goals. The forward played with relentless energy, owning the paint and drawing fouls to go a perfect 4-for-4 at the stripe.
But it was Avi Fogel who sparked USA’s perimeter game. The guard lit it up with 7 field goals, including 2 from deep, and added 7 assists to go with 19 points, good for a game-high 30 TSP (Total Statistical Production). Fogel’s offensive timing and unselfishness set the tone for a USA squad that notched 21 team assists.
Behind them, Matt Dart turned in his steadiest performance of the season with 12 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Alex Zalkin added 7 points, 4 boards, and 2 dimes, including a smooth three-pointer that capped a run midway through the second half.
Trevor Roe-Satkowski and Jamie Smith each chipped in 8 points, with Roe-Satkowski pulling down 7 rebounds and Smith going 2-of-2 from the line. Kieran Betts rounded out the scoring with a hard-earned 5 points, to go with 6 boards of his own.
As a team, USA outrebounded the Studs 48 to 43 and converted 31 field goals, more than half coming off assists. Their team TSP of 144 overwhelmed the Studs’ 115 and told the full story — control, composure, and collective execution.
The Studs were led by the trio of Hayden Lescault, Neema Mohseni, and Matt Weinberg, each pouring in 14 points to try and keep pace. Lescault added 10 rebounds and 5 assists for a 29 TSP, but faced stiff resistance from USA’s active wings. Mohseni went 2-for-4 from three and pulled down 11 rebounds, but the Studs’ offensive rhythm sputtered in key stretches.
Ben Stoodley added 12 points and 8 boards, while Tony Hurtado and Trent Cady chipped in 6 and 9 points, respectively. But the Studs were plagued by inefficiency from beyond the arc (6 made threes on the night) and couldn’t match USA’s passing flow, tallying just 16 assists and few second-chance opportunities.
Final Score: USA 73, Studs 56
Player of the Game: Avi Fogel (19 PTS, 7 AST, 4 REB, 30 TSP)
Rebound King: Garrett Pagon (17 REB, 16 PTS)
Next Up: USA will look to build momentum in their next outing, while the Studs regroup and seek better ball movement in Week 10.

6:15 GAME: BANDITS 71, BALLERS 60
Bandits Breeze Past Ballers 71–60 with Breakout Game from Nelson
CARMEL VALLEY, CA — The Bandits struck gold in Game 2 of Tuesday night’s four-pack, riding a monster performance from Ben Nelson and overwhelming the Ballers with rebounding, ball movement, and long-range shooting. The final tally read 71–60, but the numbers behind it showed a well-oiled Bandits offense that’s beginning to peak at the right time.
Ben Nelson was absolutely everywhere. The versatile guard scored a game-high 25 points on 9 field goals, splashing 3 threes, grabbing 12 rebounds, and dishing 8 assists—earning a scorching 45 TSP. Whether he was initiating fast breaks, burying spot-up jumpers, or crashing the boards, Nelson was the engine for the Bandits in Week 5.
Flanking him was Abdullah Ahamed, who torched the nets with 22 points, including 4 threes, and racked up 9 rebounds and 8 assists of his own. Ahamed’s slashing and distributing caused havoc, and his activity off the ball gave Bandits constant offensive rhythm.
Itai Hirsch played the enforcer role in the paint, securing 13 boards and scoring 8 points, while Cole Symans added another 13 rebounds and 5 points in a strong two-way effort. Mike Stein gave Bandits a perimeter jolt, knocking down 3 threes on his way to 9 points, and Adrian Doty and John Fusca chipped in with hustle and effort plays—Doty had 10 rebounds and 2 assists, Fusca with 4 boards, 19 screens, and a steal.
The Bandits’ stat sheet was loaded:
- Team FG: 27
- Team 3FG: 10
- Team Rebounds: 69
- Team Assists: 23
- Team TSP: 164
-
For the Ballers, it was the Tony Johnson Show once again. Johnson nearly carried his team on his back with a stunning 31-point, 11-rebound, 5-assist outing. His efficiency and aggressive finishing gave the Ballers a fighting chance until late in the second half, and his 47 TSP kept him atop the league’s MVP tracker.
Anton Moskalenko added 10 points, 13 rebounds, and 4 assists, quietly delivering one of his best all-around games of the year. Igor Nesterenko was a force on the boards with 14 rebounds, but struggled to score against Bandits’ interior pressure. Reis Rosenbledt (6 PTS, 6 REB) and James Renner (2 PTS, 5 REB) rounded out the stat sheet.
Despite a solid showing, the Ballers couldn’t match Bandits’ balance and bench production. The team made just 4 threes and turned in a team TSP of 128, respectable but not enough to weather the Bandits’ offensive barrage.
Final Score: Bandits 71, Ballers 60
Player of the Game: Ben Nelson (25 PTS, 12 REB, 8 AST, 45 TSP)
Glass Cleaners: Hirsch & Symans (13 REB each)
Next Up: Bandits are suddenly looking like dark horse contenders, while the Ballers regroup ahead of a key Week 10 showdown.
Two games down, two to go. Stay tuned for full coverage from Bay Club Tuesday Night.
7:15 GAME: JUMPMEN 55, RUN DMC 40
Jumpmen Lock Down Run DMC, Win 55–40 in Defensive Showcase
CARMEL VALLEY, CA — Game 3 of the night turned into a masterclass in defensive discipline and efficient execution, as Jumpmen clamped down on Run DMC and coasted to a 55–40 win in a grind-it-out battle.
Jumpmen didn't just win — they suffocated. The team forced low-percentage looks, dominated the glass, and capitalized with timely three-point shooting, knocking down 9 triples on the night. With 6 players scoring between 7 and 14 points, it was a balanced, unselfish effort that highlighted this group’s chemistry.
Ali Ghafoori led the way with 14 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists, his 29 TSP underscoring a do-it-all performance. Ghafoori’s combination of shooting touch (3 threes) and rebounding helped the Jumpmen stretch the floor while controlling the paint.
Mitchell Steves was a force inside with a game-high 11 rebounds, adding 7 points and 2 assists. The backcourt of Jordan Mole and Umit Suri gave Run DMC fits — Mole tallied 8 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Suri splashed in 2 threes on his way to 10 points and 3 assists.
Andy Kirkpatrick quietly filled the stat sheet with 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists, and Justin Crane provided clutch minutes off the bench with 7 points, 6 boards, and 4 dimes of his own.
All told, Jumpmen racked up:
- 19 FG, 9 3FG, 8 FT
- 46 rebounds, 24 assists, 125 team TSP
- Only 40 points allowed
For Run DMC, offense was tough to come by. Despite solid individual efforts, the team couldn’t overcome Jumpmen’s connected defense or hit from deep — just 3 made threes on the night.
Conrad Tucker led the way with 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, continuing his streak of steady two-way play. Benji Phillips added 8 points and a team-high 10 rebounds, while Danny Reilly chipped in 7 points, 10 boards, and 3 assists.
Thair Daoud hit a three and scored 7 points with 7 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to spark a stagnant DMC offense. Bo Cicak had just 2 points, but dished out 4 assists, and Mason Tucker added 5 points with 6 rebounds.
Despite a strong rebounding performance (52 to 46 advantage), Run DMC struggled with scoring efficiency and ball movement, tallying just 19 assists and finishing with a team TSP of 111 — far below their usual standards.
Final Score: Jumpmen 55, Run DMC 40
Player of the Game: Ali Ghafoori (14 PTS, 10 REB, 5 AST, 29 TSP)
Rebounding Edge: Run DMC (52–46), but Jumpmen made theirs count
Next Up: Jumpmen keep climbing the standings with their stingy defense and steady shooting, while Run DMC will need to regroup before next week’s marquee rematch.
One game remains in Week 9’s lineup — the primetime capper. Stay locked in.
8:15 GAME: RASTA 62, THE VILLE 56
Rasta Survives The Ville in Thrilling 62–56 Duel Behind Carey’s Clutch Night
CARMEL VALLEY, CA — In a game that lived up to its primetime billing, Rasta edged out The Ville 62–56 to close out Week 9, thanks to a powerful two-man performance and just enough second-half separation.
Daniel Carey was the catalyst for Rasta’s offense all night, racking up 22 points, 13 rebounds, and 5 assists while burying 4 threes in a statement performance. The versatile forward was unstoppable in transition and half-court alike, finishing with a TSP of 40, one of the top marks of the week.
Carey’s partner in crime, Ryan Asaro, brought the same energy — attacking the rim, competing on the glass, and defending across positions. He tallied 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 assists on an efficient night, pushing the pace and setting the tone early.
Ryan Lynn chipped in with 7 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists, and Chris Gardinier muscled out 8 rebounds and 4 assists despite not scoring — a true glue-guy performance that helped keep The Ville at bay during a tense second half.
Though Rasta only attempted 7 free throws, their balanced scoring and steady rebounding (team total: 61 boards) were the difference-makers. Their team TSP matched The Ville’s at 142, but Rasta’s execution in key late possessions gave them the six-point edge.
For The Ville, it was a tough-luck loss despite standout individual efforts — most notably Lance Moore, who delivered an electric 32 points, 14 rebounds, and 7 made threes, earning a week-high 49 TSP. Moore torched every coverage Rasta threw his way, heating up from deep and dragging defenders out of position with his gravity.
Nick Dove added 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 assists, playing a sharp two-way game that kept The Ville in striking distance. Moe Hamidi and Sasha Gustin combined for 7 points and 17 boards, while Eric Marlin knocked in a deep three and grabbed 11 rebounds, matching Dove for second-most on the squad.
Nate Martinez didn’t score but made his presence felt with a game-high 14 rebounds, boxing out and battling all night in the trenches.
Despite outrebounding Rasta 67 to 61, and matching them assist-for-assist at 19, The Ville fell short in shot-making efficiency. Their 12 made threes gave them chances late, but Rasta’s defense held the line when it mattered.
Final Score: Rasta 62, The Ville 56
Player of the Game: Daniel Carey (22 PTS, 13 REB, 5 AST, 40 TSP)
Scoring Leader: Lance Moore (32 PTS, 14 REB, 7 3FG, 49 TSP)
Next Up: The Ville will look to regroup around Moore’s offensive brilliance, while Rasta’s rising chemistry puts them firmly in the playoff picture heading into Week 10.
That’s a wrap on all four games from a packed Tuesday night at Bay Club. Full standings, MVP rankings, and power shifts coming soon.

5:15 GAME: BALLERS 74, USA 60
TJfor3 Can’t Be Stopped by Team USA
In the Week 2 opener, Tony Johnson led the charge for the Ballers with an outstanding 36 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists for a TSP of 48 leading him to Player of the Week honors. Johnson was also a nuisance on defense, potentially netting double-digit steals – though we don’t track that stat -- he probably wishes we did because he was the definition of thievery Tuesday night. Travon Brown was second in scoring for the Ballers with 12 points after calibrating his shot in warmups. We’re not sure he missed. Brown had a standout post move where he faked the drive and spun away for a fade-away jumper that made us all wonder if he’s still in his PRIME. Anton Iron Lungs Moskalenko ran the break leading to his 9 points and TSP of 21. Ali Nayab quarterbacked the offense and had an easy TSP of 27 on 11 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists – along with a handful of steals himself. Reis Rosenbledt held down the interior for the Ballers with double digit rebounds (10) and was a brick wall on defense. If healthy, the Ballers appear to be in the upper echelon of title contenders this season. Ballers 74, USA 60.
Avi Fogel was the standout for Team USA as he padded on to his MVP-caliber start to the season. The MVP candidate was heroic, dropping 32 points along with 4 rebounds and 4 assists for a TSP of 40 -- as he did everything he could to carry USA without fellow co-captain, Garrett Pagon. Kieran Bett’s had a breakout game with a phenomenal TSP of 28. The star forward resembled a prime Larry Bird with his pinpoint accuracy from the field and a prime Kevin Garnett on the glass with his 14 rebounds. Betts who is known as “The Bookie” was taking ACTION to say the least. Matt Dart’s ibuprofen kicked in and he also had an excellent game grabbing 9 boards while leading the defense & prosecution for USA. Dart finished with a TSP of 18. Alex Zalkin displayed a high-level of mental fortitude and pain tolerance playing through an ankle injury he suffered over the weekend. Zalkin has played Batman to Fogel’s Superman so far this season and finished with a class-TSP of 16. He also played elite-level defense and Bay Club Media believes he has a strong case to be one of the league’s Defensive MVP candidates. Trevor Roe’s stats were mid. USA has yet to click without the presence of Pagon who claims he’ll return in Week 3. Stay Tuned.
6:15 GAME: RUN DMC 60, STUDS 59
DMC Fouled at the Buzzer, Clutch Free Throw for the Win
Run DMC appears to be the real deal. Not only are their nicknames elite, but the chemistry between captains Daniel “The Rizman” Reilly and Conrad “The Backslinging Slasher” Tucker appears unmatched – oh, and we can’t forget “The Bruiser,” Benji Phillips. The Three Amigos were tremendous in this one outputting a combined TSP of 86! Reilly had a double-double with 17 points and 12 boards. Tucker netted 17 points – along with 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Phillips also had a double-double with 10 points, grabbed 12 boards and dished 5 dimes. Mason Tucker and Bo Cicak are both in the running to be the 4th amigo with each producing TSPs of 19. Cicak scored 6 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and dished 5 assists while Tucker scored 10 points, grabbed 4 boards and dropped 5 dimes. Jamie Arnold had a quiet night on the stat-sheet, but his defensive presence and team-first mindset shall not be overlooked as he unselfishly came off the bench and played facilitator on offense constantly setting up his teammates and setting them screens helping them get open looks. Run DMC appears to be a league goliath this season. Look out.
Led by Hayden Lescault who produced a Week 2 leading TSP of 50 on 28 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists, The Studs almost snuck back to win this one after trailing by 19 points early in the first half. In fact, they came back to tie it in the final minutes and had all the momentum in their favor to potentially win this intense matchup. We’ll paint the picture for you. There they were, the game was tied, entering its final possession, Hayden was sweaty and tired from carrying. Neema Mohseni was sad he didn’t get enough foul calls. Tony Hurtado was happy to be part of the league. DMC had the rock for one final play. They ensured to bleed the clock to set up a buzzer beater, they run double screens, triple screens, Conrad to Bo to Danny. Danny puts up a prayer corner three from the wing, but oh no, it missed! OT?! Wait, Conrad Tucker is there! Tucker boards it and attempts a putback at the buzzer and falls to the ground as he sells a questionable love-tap foul from our beloved Ben Stoodley. Everyone’s pissed about the foul call, especially Neema. Does this seal the fate for The Studs? No, wait, there’s more, there’s still a chance for OT. Tucker could miss the free throws. Shot one, he’s nervous, missed it. Shot Two... the crowd erupts, the floor is shaking, there’s a weird screeching sound coming from the commissioner’s box. Tucker wonders, “Is that Jay,” then wipes the fog from his brain and redials in his focus, he remembers he’s there to win the game and has one more moment to do so. Would he capture it? Tucker’s heart was trembling, mom’s spaghetti-. … NO. Ice in his veins, he clutches it and sinks the second free throw. DMC 60, Studs 59.
7:15 GAME: JUMPMEN 71, THE VILLE 64
Jumpmen Outlast The Ville in Physical Showdown, 71–64
CARMEL VALLEY, CA — In a gritty, high-energy battle between two of the Bay Club’s most physical squads, Jumpmen held off a surging The Ville team Tuesday night, riding a monster performance from Ali Ghafoori to secure a 71–64 win and tighten their grip on the league’s upper tier.
Ghafoori was surgical from the field, pouring in 25 points on 8 makes, including three triples and six clutch free throws. The veteran scorer navigated The Ville’s length and relentless rebounding with deft hesitation moves and cold-blooded midrange jumpers, finishing with a team-high 37 TSP and 4 assists.
“I thought we stayed patient,” Ghafoori said postgame, towel around his neck. “They’re big, they crash hard, but we didn’t rush. We trusted each other.”
Jumpmen’s poise was critical, they turned stops into quick offense and kept turnovers to a minimum. Along with Ghafoori, their attack was led by Sergey Volkov (11 PTS, 8 REB, 7 AST, 26 TSP) and Andy Kirkpatrick (13 PTS, 10 REB, 6 AST, 29 TSP), who surgically orchestrated the offense and continually made the extra pass to collapse The Ville’s defense.
Despite the loss, The Ville’s frontcourt was dominant in the trenches. Lance Moore was a force of nature, leading all players in points (35), rebounds (11), and TSP (53). He got to the line repeatedly and buried midrange jumpers, scoring from all three levels despite constant pressure from Volkov and Jordan Mole.
Moe Hamidi (9 PTS, 11 REB, 2 AST) and Sasha Gustin (2 PTS, 11 REB, 4 AST) played complementary roles on the glass, helping The Ville control second-chance opportunities, but neither could find rhythm offensively.
“I thought our bigs played well,” said The Ville’s Nate Martinez, who contributed 4 points, 9 boards, and 4 assists. “But we just didn’t rotate fast enough on their guards. Ghafoori and Mole hit some huge shots late.”
Steady Contributions Down the Roster
Jordan Mole quietly posted one of the game’s most complete stat lines: 13 points on 6 makes, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists, showing off the two-way versatility that has become his calling card.
Mitchell Steves (6 PTS, 11 REB) and Umit Suri (3 PTS, 4 REB) filled their roles effectively, while Suri’s lone three-pointer early in the first half halted a run from The Ville and helped swing the momentum.
Final Score: Jumpmen 71, The Ville 64
8:15 GAME: RASTA 67, BANDITS 60
Rasta Handcuffs Bandits in back-and-forth Showdown
CARMEL VALLEY, CA — In a game defined by rebounds, defensive rotations, and perfectly timed daggers, Rasta outlasted the sharpshooting Bandits Tuesday night, pulling away late for a 67–60 victory that showcased their depth, chemistry, and sheer hustle.
This one had playoff intensity. The Bandits bombed from deep—11 threes in total, 5 apiece from Abdullah Ahamed and Ben Nelson—but Rasta countered with relentless rebounding and a patient, surgical half-court offense. Birthday Boy, Stijn de Jong led the way with a vintage all-around performance, notching 17 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, and a team-high 37 TSP.
“He’s like a Swiss army knife,” teammate Ryan Asaro said. “He can do it all and makes the right play—every single time.”
Rasta Finds Balance at the Right Time
Rasta’s victory wasn’t built on one hot hand but on consistent execution across the board. Daniel Carey led all Rasta scorers with 19 points (3 threes, 6-of-6 FT) and 5 assists, his efficient 35 TSP a testament to his composed decision-making and opportunistic scoring.
Ryan Asaro mirrored de Jong’s production with 17 points and 14 rebounds of his own, often cleaning up missed shots or ducking behind defenders for easy finishes. His physicality and quickness inside helped Rasta win the rebounding battle 69–50 and limit second-chance Bandits opportunities.
Mike Reardon gave Rasta a crucial lift with his double-double, scoring 11 points and grabbing 10 boards, including a second-half baseline triple that stopped a Bandits’ run dead in its tracks. Chris Gardinier and Ryan Lynn combined for a TSP of 27. Gardinier was a monster on the glass (15 REB, 4 AST), and Lynn knocked down a key free throw in the second half.
Ahamed Dazzles —But It’s Not Enough
Abdullah Ahamed was simply electric Tuesday night. The Bandits guard poured in 32 points on 12 field goals and 5 threes, adding 8 assists and 8 rebounds. Every Bandits possession seemed to begin and end with him—whether AB was breaking down the defense, pulling up from mid-range, or dishing off a drive, he was making something happen for his team offensively. His 48 TSP was the highest of the game and tied for second in the week, immediately placing him in the MVP conservation and of course consideration for player of the week honors.
Ben Nelson added 20 points, mostly from deep, and Mike Stein chipped in 10 rebounds, but the Bandits struggled to finish inside. Rasta’s interior defense, led by Gardinier and de Jong, limited the driving lanes and second-chance looks.
Itai Hirsch and Adrian Doty combined for a TSP of 31 with their strong rebounding efforts (14 and 8 boards respectively). With no bench scoring and only 6 players suited up, fatigue began to show late, especially as Rasta pushed the tempo in the closing minutes.
Despite the valiant efforts from Nelson and Abdullah, their partnership was still too ripe in only their second game together -- to overtake the seasoned core-duo of de Jong and Reardon. Especially during de Jong’s birthday week. He was locked in. Rasta 67, Bandits 60

In a showdown that lived up to its billing, Rasta took control early and never let go, pulling away from Jumpmen for a 65–49 victory Tuesday evening at Bay Club – CV. Fueled by balance, rebounding dominance, and strong guard play, Rasta started its regular with a relentless attack on both ends.
🔥 Rasta: Cohesion, Control, and Crashing the Glass
The story of the night was Rasta’s work on the boards — 62 total rebounds to be exact — led by a monster performance from Mike Reardon, who hauled in 19 rebounds (game-high), dished out 6 assists, and dropped 15 points on 6 made field goals including a pair of triples. Reardon’s Total Stats Produced (TSP) of 40 led all players and set the tone for the squad’s efficiency and unselfish play.
Daniel Carey followed up on his standout sophomore campaign with a powerful offensive performance of his own, dropping 19 points on 8 made field goals, including two from beyond the arc. He chipped in 9 rebounds and 3 assists with a strong TSP of 31, consistently punishing defenders in transition and halfcourt sets.
Rookie Point Guard Ryan Asaro played with poise and confidence, knocking down 3 threes en route to 16 points, while adding 8 rebounds and 4 assists. His steady perimeter shooting stretched the Jumpmen defense and opened up lanes for his teammates.
Stijn de Jong quietly put together a strong line with 11 points, 11 rebounds, and a game-high 7 assists, commanding the tempo and making the extra pass look routine. He may not have hit his usual plethora of three pointers, but his all-around contribution — reflected in a TSP of 29 — was indispensable to Rasta’s flow.
Chris Gardinier added valuable minutes with 4 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, embodying the team’s commitment to sharing the ball and winning the hustle plays.
🏀 Jumpmen: Tough Start, Flashes of Firepower
The Jumpmen showed promise but struggled to contain Rasta on the glass and at the rim. Still, there were bright spots, starting with Justin Crane, who led the team with 14 points on 5 made field goals (3 from deep). He added 7 rebounds and 3 assists, keeping the offense afloat early before the game slipped away. His TSP of 24 reflected solid shot selection in limited opportunities.
Jordan Mole brought the energy with a game-high 14 rebounds and 10 points on 3 three-pointers, contributing across the board with 5 assists and a TSP of 29 — tied for best on the squad. His effort was tireless, though the team couldn’t capitalize on second-chance looks.
Rookie standout Ali Ghafoori chipped in with 8 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists, playing a physical brand of basketball in the paint, while Andy Kirkpatrick added 6 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 assists, continuing his steady, nose-tickling style of play.
Mitchell Steves and Umit Suri combined for 11 points and 15 rebounds, rounding out a frontcourt that battled nicely. Each finished with 3 assists, moving the ball effectively in spurts.
📊 Stat Sheet Highlights
- Rebounds: Rasta 62, Jumpmen 58
- Assists: Rasta 24, Jumpmen 21
- Points Leaders: Carey (19), Reardon (15), Asaro (16), Crane (14)
🧠 Final Takeaway
Rasta’s depth, ball movement, and commitment to crashing the boards wore Jumpmen down. Though Jumpmen showcased resilience and perimeter shooting, they couldn’t overcome Rasta’s defensive pressure. Both teams have the firepower — but Rasta’s chemistry and efficiency may just make them the squad to beat.
6:15 PM GAME: THE VILLE 68, BANDITS 58
In the primetime matchup, The Ville proved too explosive down the stretch, using a massive night from Lance Moore and a tightly orchestrated offense to take down a scrappy Bandits squad, 68–58. With both teams trading fireworks early, it was The Ville’s firepower and facilitation that ultimately swayed the balance.
💥 The Ville: All Gas, No Brakes
You can’t talk about this game without starting with back-to-back League MVP, Lance Moore. The versatile scorer was unstoppable, seemingly already in midseason form, dropping 40 points on 12 made field goals, knocking down 3 threes, and cashing in 13 free throws in a performance that was equal parts power, finesse, and stamina. He also ripped down 16 rebounds (tied game-high), dished 9 assists, and posted a staggering TSP of 65 — one of the most efficient, high-volume outputs of the season. (We are awaiting confirmation from Elias Sports Bureau if this TSP is a league record. Stay tuned.)
Backing him up was Nick Dove, who added 15 points (on 5 made field goals including 3 triples), 8 rebounds, and a crisp 6 assists with a TSP of 29. Dove played with the poise of a seasoned guard, taking smart shots and anchoring The Ville’s perimeter offense. “I’m the Cal NOW!,” Dove didn’t say post-game.
Nate Martinez quietly played a crucial role with 15 rebounds, and 5 assists, controlling the paint and making sharp passes from the high post. His TSP of 21 solidified his first-round status and showcased just how effective he was without forcing the issue.
Eric Marlin had an excellent night, collecting a TSP of 21 on 7 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists — a crucial stat line that helped tilt possession and pace in The Ville’s favor.
Tracy Rees added 6 points on two triples, giving The Ville a nice spacing boost before leaving with an injury.
With five players registering 5+ assists, The Ville’s offense clicked all night — smart cuts, fluid ball movement, and relentless rebounding pushed them into the win column.
💪 Bandits: Big Efforts, Not Quite Enough
The Bandits came to play, and two of their stars showed up in a big way. Abdullah Ahamed poured in 20 points on 7 made field goals, adding 5 free throws, 12 rebounds, and a team-high 7 assists. His all-around play and TSP of 39 kept the Bandits alive deep into the second half. Whether slashing, kicking out, or battling inside, Ahamed was at the center of everything.
Matching him bucket for bucket was rookie of the year candidate, Ben Nelson, who also scored 20 points, with 3 made threes and 3 free throws. He pulled down 9 rebounds and dished 6 assists, finishing with an impressive TSP of 35 and playing a pivotal role in keeping the game tight until the final few minutes.
Itai Hirsch and Billy Lafortune combined for 14 points and 18 rebounds, holding their own in the paint despite The Ville’s size and volume. Hirsch in particular was key defensively, altering shots and grabbing crucial boards.
Adrian Doty rounded out the lineup with 4 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, doing all the intangibles to keep the offense moving.
Despite the loss, the Bandits showed heart — totaling 58 team rebounds and 22 assists — but couldn’t overcome the Lance Moore avalanche.
📊 Stat Sheet Highlights
- Points Leaders: Moore (40), Ahamed (20), Nelson (20), Dove (15)
- Rebounds Leaders: Moore (16), Martinez (15), Ahamed (12), Hirsch (12)
- Assists Leaders: Moore (9), Ahamed (7), Dove (6), Nelson (6)
- Team Assists: The Ville 30, Bandits 22
🔍 Final Takeaway
Lance Moore stole the show, but The Ville’s win was built on teamwork — five players with at least five assists is rare at any level. The Bandits brought intensity and grit, and with Ahamed and Nelson locked in, they’ll be a threat if they can get a few more stops down the stretch. Still, this night belonged to Moore and The Ville.
7:15 PM GAME: STUDS 67, BALLERS 57
Game 3 of Tuesday night delivered a methodical, high-IQ performance from the Studs, who executed with poise and precision to take down the Ballers, 67–57. Behind a dominant showing from Hayden Lescault and steady contributions across the board, the Studs outlasted a scrappy Ballers squad that kept it close with gritty rebounding and determined guard play.
🧱 Studs: Smooth Execution, Balanced Attack
Hayden Lescault was the engine, architect, and finisher for the Studs. The veteran guard put on a clinic, scoring 25 points on 9 made field goals, including 3 threes, and knocking down 4 free throws. He also dominated the glass with 15 rebounds and added 4 assists, posting a monster TSP of 44 — the highest in the game. Lescault’s calm decision-making and confident shooting lifted the Studs in crucial moments.
Trent Cady followed suit with 14 points on 6 makes, including two from deep. He added 10 rebounds and 3 assists, carving out space inside and stretching the floor when needed. His TSP of 27 underscored his role as one of the Studs’ reliable scoring options.
Matt Weinberg gave the team a spark, finishing with 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, while knocking down a three and pushing the pace in transition.
The backcourt tandem of Marc Mueseler and Ben Stoodley did the dirty work — combining for 17 points, 20 rebounds, and 15 assists. Mueseler’s 9 assists and 13 rebounds made him the glue guy of the evening, while Stoodley poured in 10 points and grabbed 7 boards, dishing out 6 assists of his own. Their combined court vision and hustle kept the Studs’ offense flowing from start to finish.
🔨 Ballers: Heart, Hustle, and Heavy Lifting
Despite the loss, the Ballers refused to back down — and Tony Johnson led the charge. The dynamic guard roped in 22 points, hitting 8 field goals with 2 threes, grabbing 11 rebounds, and handing out 7 assists. His TSP of 40 matched his energy on both ends of the floor, and he repeatedly challenged Studs defenders in the lane and from deep.
Reis Rosenbledt added 17 points and 10 rebounds, finishing with a tremendous TSP of 30 and anchoring much of the Ballers’ scoring in the second half. His physical drives and tough finishes inside gave the Studs fits at times.
Anton Moskalenko was a force on the glass, collecting 13 rebounds while adding 8 points and 7 assists. He hit 2 threes, and his TSP of 28 reflected his smart shot selection and impact in the paint.
Big man Igor Nesterenko added 6 points and 11 rebounds, and James Renner chipped in 2 points and 7 boards in limited minutes.
📊 Stat Sheet Highlights
- Points Leaders: Lescault (25), Johnson (22), Rosenbledt (17), Cady (14)
- Rebounds Leaders: Lescault (15), Moskalenko (13), Mueseler (13), Johnson (11)
- Assists Leaders: Mueseler (9), Johnson (7), Moskalenko (7), Nesterenko (7), Stoodley (6)
- TSP Leaders: Lescault (44), Johnson (40), Rosenbledt (30), Moskalenko (28)
🧠 Final Takeaway
The Studs didn’t overwhelm with unconscious shooting — they just played smart, shared the ball, and executed. Five players finished with 4+ assists, and their 67 points came mostly within the flow of the offense. The Ballers showed flashes of brilliance behind Johnson and Rosenbledt but couldn’t quite close the gap late. Still, with that kind of rebounding and assist production, the Ballers are one breakout game or player away from flipping the script.
8:15 PM GAME: RUN DMC 68, USA 50
June 3, 2025 • Bay Club – CV • Run DMC 68, USA 50
In the final matchup of a loaded Tuesday night slate at Bay Club – CV, Run DMC closed things out with a statement win, using relentless ball movement, balanced scoring, and hard-nosed rebounding to topple USA, 68–50. Six different players chipped in for DMC, all contributing in multiple categories, while USA leaned heavily on a pair of scorers but couldn’t find the offensive rhythm to keep pace.
🎯 Run DMC: Surgical Offense, Locked-In Defense
Danny Reilly delivered a standout performance, exploding for 21 points on 10 made field goals, crashing the glass with 9 rebounds, and adding 4 assists. His TSP of 34 backed up his impact on both ends of the court — high energy, high efficiency, and relentless pressure.
Conrad Tucker wasn’t far behind, pouring in 17 points, including 3 made threes, with 9 rebounds and 5 assists. He found his groove from deep and stayed aggressive on the boards, finishing with a strong TSP of 31.
Benji Phillips and Mason Tucker each brought two-way balance. Phillips notched 10 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists with a solid TSP of 26, while Mason added 8 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists, all while spacing the floor with 2 made threes.
Bo Cicak might not have lit up the scoreboard, but his 10 rebounds and 6 assists told the real story — pure glue-guy energy. He did all the little things, finishing with an elite TSP of 21.
Jamie Arnold rounded out the rotation with 7 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, playing the connector role in DMC’s free-flowing offense. His TSP of 17 made him one of six DMC players to post double-digits for the category.
With 28 total assists and every player tallying at least 4 boards, Run DMC played smart, unselfish, winning basketball.
⚡️ USA: Fogel and Zalkin Show Flashes
It was a tough outing for USA, but Avi Fogel came to play. The do-it-all shooting guard dropped 23 points, hitting 5 field goals, including 2 threes, and a near-perfect 11 made free throws. He led all players with 12 rebounds, dished 9 assists, and notched a game-high TSP of 44 — one of the most complete stat lines of the night. His combination of strength, vision, and patience kept USA within striking distance for stretches.
Alex Zalkin backed him up with 20 points, 2 made threes, 6 free throws, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists. His TSP of 30 highlighted how efficient and aggressive he was, especially when Fogel drew double teams.
Unfortunately, the rest of the roster struggled to get into rhythm.
- Trevor Roe added 4 points and 7 rebounds, providing a spark on the glass but didn’t cash in with his offensive looks.
- Matt Dart and Kieran Betts combined for 3 points and 8 rebounds and 3 assists, while Jamie Smith was held scoreless in limited action.
USA tallied just 14 team assists compared to DMC’s 28 — a reflection of how stagnant the offense became outside of Fogel and Zalkin’s touches.
📊 Stat Sheet Highlights
- Points Leaders: Fogel (23), Reilly (21), Zalkin (20), C. Tucker (17)
- Rebounds Leaders: Fogel (12), Phillips (11), Cicak (10), C. Tucker (9), Reilly (9)
- Assists Leaders: Fogel (9), Cicak (6), Phillips (5), C. Tucker (5), M. Tucker & Arnold (4)
- TSP Leaders: Fogel (44), Zalkin (30), C. Tucker (31), Reilly (34), Phillips (26)
🔍 Final Takeaway
Run DMC is emerging as one of the most complete teams in the league — unselfish, balanced, and disciplined. Every player contributed across multiple categories, and their 68-point performance came without a single player forcing shots. For USA, the duo of Fogel and Zalkin looked dangerous — but they’ll need more help from the supporting cast to compete with the league’s top-tier units.
With this win, Run DMC makes a clear statement: they’re not just deep — they’re dangerous.

Avi Fogel’s Clutch Heroics Propel Team America to Thrilling Victory Over Team Rasta
SAN DIEGO, CA -- In a game that epitomized the razor-thin margins of competitive basketball, Avi Fogel etched his name into the annals of Team ‘Merica lore with a moment of pure brilliance. With the game hanging in the balance, Fogel rose to the occasion, draining a deep three-pointer that sealed a hard-fought 62-56 victory over a tenacious Team Rasta squad. Fogel was nothing short of spectacular, pouring in a game-high 25 points while showcasing his lethal shooting touch from beyond the arc, where he connected on three triples. His ability to deliver in the clutch underscored his status as the team’s offensive linchpin.
Fogel’s heroics were complemented by a well-rounded effort from his teammates. Abdullah Ahamed proved to be a dynamic scorer, finishing with 15 points thanks to his aggressive drives and reliable outside shooting. Garrett Pagon was a force of nature on both ends of the floor, dominating the paint with a monstrous double-double of 17 points and 17 rebounds defying the odds that a man showing the shades of a silver fox would typically suggest. In fact, the silver fox’s defensive presence was a game-changer, stifling Team Rasta’s interior attack and securing critical possessions. James Poet was a demon on the glass pulling in several mind boggling rebounds that at first seemed out of reach. Poet was also a force on defense matching up with the league’s tallest player without much issue. Andy Kirkpatrick and Trevor Roe provided timely contributions and subterfuge to keep the offense humming and helped with several defensive stops down the stretch to seal the win.
Rasta Remains Top Shelf, Even While Missing Superstar
Team Rasta, to their credit, gave ‘Merica a run for their money even while missing their superstar guard, Alex Wade, but ultimately, they couldn’t match USA’s execution in the game’s decisive moments. Mike Reardon led the charge with a team-high 20 points, including three three-pointers, while battling tirelessly on the boards. Stijn de Jong was a model of efficiency, finishing with 13 points and showcasing his polished post moves and scoring touch. Matt Weinberg added another 13 points, displaying a smooth long stroke that kept defenders guessing. Itai Hirsch and Anton Moskalenko rounded out the scoring, with Hirsch providing relentless energy on the glass and Moskalenko attacking the rim with purpose. Despite their collective effort, Team Rasta fell just short in crunch time but if at full strength this one likely goes their way. USA 62, Rasta 56.
6:15 PM GAME: Team Nimo 82, Team Jolly 80
Team Nimo’s Surgical Precision Outlasts Team Jolly in Instant Classic
In a game that felt more like a high-stakes chess match than a basketball contest, Team Nimo’s trademark ball movement and unselfish play proved to be the difference in an 82-80 thriller against Team Jolly. Nick Diciaula was nothing short of sensational, dropping a game-high 26 points while connecting on six three-pointers, each one more demoralizing than the last. His ability to stretch the floor opened driving lanes for his teammates, and his poise under pressure was instrumental in securing the win.
Benji Phillips was a revelation in the paint, finishing with a dominant 16 points and 10 rebounds, including several crucial putbacks that kept Team Nimo’s offense afloat. Jordan Mole added 18 points, consistently finding seams in the defense and capitalizing in transition. Arley Gonzalez orchestrated the offense with precision, chipping in eight points, seven rebounds and three assists. Elliot Adler, though not his normal 40-point night, the Matzah Baller still finished with a solid six-point output and set the tone defensively with his relentless energy and timely stops.
Nayab Breaks Single-Game Record for Total Stats Produced
For Team Jolly, Ali Nayab delivered a performance for the ages, torching the defense for a jaw-dropping 42 points contributing to a league record 60 TSP. Nayab was a one-man wrecking crew, sinking seven three-pointers and slicing through defenders with surgical precision. Tony Johnson was equally spectacular, racking up 31 points with a lethal mid-range game that kept Team Jolly within striking distance. John Fusca and James Renner contributed in spurts, but the night belonged to Nayab and Johnson, whose combined brilliance nearly willed their team to an improbable victory. Despite the heartbreaking loss, Nayab and Johnson’s performances will be remembered as some of the most electrifying in league history.
7:15 PM GAME: TEAM SHOWTIME 81, TEAM DOOD 69
Calvin Fowler & Lance Moore Karate Kid their Opponents -- Hiya! past Team Dood
Mr. Mayagi would be proud as Team Showtime once again lived up to their name in emphatic fashion, delivering an 81-69 victory over Team Dood Tuesday night. Their win was equal parts artistry and dominance which must be the two staples The Showtime Dojo were founded on. Calvin Fowler was nothing short of unstoppable, putting on a scoring clinic that would make any opponent sick to their stomachs -- with a game-high 37 points. “Kiai!” Whether operating in isolation from beyond the arc or navigating through double teams, Fowler’s ability to create his own shot was on full display, leaving defenders in the dust; sayonara! Fellow Sensei, Lance Moore’s night was equally sensational, finishing with 30 points, including four three-pointers, blending finesse with brute force on his relentless drives to the hoop as he went for Team Dood’s nodo. (neck
Bo Cicak anchored the interior with a commanding presence, pulling down 12 rebounds and giving Team Showtime critical second-chance opportunities. Daniel Carey and Marc Mueseler provided steady support with a combined 12 points, while Travon Brown’s playmaking and seven rebounds were instrumental in keeping the offense flowing. Mueseler also assisted on several highlight real passes that led to easy buckets for his team and appeared like a true difference maker for Showtime in his return from what this commissioner calls a dream vacation.
Team Dood had their moments but ultimately couldn’t contain the offensive firepower of Team Showtime. Hayden Lescault led the way with 25 points, using his size and footwork to create tough shots in the lane. Nick Dove added 18 points, including four three-pointers, to keep his team within striking distance. Ben Stoodley was a force on the glass, finishing with 10 points and nine rebounds, while Jamie Smith and Michael Carey contributed on both ends of the floor.

8:15 PM GAME: Team Kong 70, Team Sonic 56
Umit Suri Carries Over Momentum from Player of the Week Honors, has 30-Point Explosion, Fuels Kong Past Sonic
Team Kong delivered a commanding performance, seizing control early and never relinquishing it en route to a decisive 70-56 victory over Team Sonic. The story of the night was Umit Suri, who erupted for a career-high 33 points in a breakout performance that left the defense scrambling. Suri was in complete control, showcasing his versatility by knocking down shots from mid-range and beyond the arc, where he connected on four three-pointers. His ability to create his own shot and capitalize on open looks was the driving force behind Team Kong’s offensive dominance.
While Suri stole the spotlight, Danny Reilly was the unsung hero, anchoring the defense with a monstrous 13-rebound performance while adding 12 points after setting the tone early on a hard block attempt against the ferocious Sergey Volkov. “I can be ferocious too,” Reilly didn’t say after the game. Reilly’s physicality and relentless effort in the paint stifled Team Sonic’s interior attack and secured several critical possessions for Team Kong. Reilly is a superstar and one of the most feared defensive players in the league and single-handedly, he makes any team a title contender. But to his pleasure, he’s not single handed at all. Keith Singery whose just as frightening as Reilly defensively also brought an aggressive mindset to the floor helping Kong hold their opponent to only 56 points. Singery also scored 12 points, grabbed seven rebounds and even dished five assists completing his well-rounded effort. Billy Lafortune and Thair Daoud make Team Kong arguably the best defensive unit in the league – and the newly coined Bruise Brothers each provided timely stops, key buckets and clutch passes to help Team Kong bruise their way to victory. Ouch!
Dynamic Duo of Tucker and Volkov Offer Hope, Hamidi to Get Involved Soon?
Team Sonic, despite their best efforts, struggled to find their rhythm on offense. Sergey Volkov was a bright spot, pouring in a team-high 27 points in a tremendous effort to keep his team afloat. Conrad Tucker also flashed his brilliance, knocking down four three-pointers on his way to 16 points. Brother, Mason Tucker added six points and facilitated the offense with his unselfish play, while Moe Hamidi and James Cox battled tirelessly on the boards. Eric Marlin chipped in with a TSP of 10, but the lack of offensive cohesion and Team Kong’s stifling defense proved too much to overcome. For Team Sonic, the search for consistency continues, but the individual brilliance of Volkov and Tucker offers a glimmer of hope for the games ahead. Kong 70, Sonic 56.

Team Jimmy Time Takes Control, Downs Team AA 67-56
The primetime matchup between Team AA and Team Jimmy Time started as a tightly contested affair but ended with Jimmy Time proving why they’re a force to be reckoned with.
Ryan Ostrom has exploded onto the scene that is Bay Club Hoops and was the clear star of the night, pouring in an electrifying 34 points, including five three-pointers and multiple fade-away jumpers along with being a straight bully in the paint with well over 10 rebounds. Trevor Roe felt like a decent basketball player for once, adding 14 points, countless rebounds and assists along with 5 blocks, while Keith Devore and Mike Neil chipped in 8 apiece and played electric team ball. Steve Yudenfreund was the glue for the team and played facilitator hitting the open man with every opportunity. Ostrom may have stolen the show with his overwhelming display of athleticism defying the odds on contested three-point shots – but it was truly Yudenfreund who played the most key role for Team Jimmy Time with his selfless play that spelled into a dynamic offensive attack for the team.
On the other side, Kion Gould kept Team AA in the game with a scorching 30-point performance, displaying deep-range accuracy with five three-pointers. Stephen Hatt added 19 points, but the duo’s heroics weren’t enough to overcome Jimmy Time’s balanced attack.
6:30 PM – Renner Bros 52, J-Mo 42
Renner Bros Outlast Team J-Mo in Gritty Defensive Battle, 52-42
A defensive slugfest turned into a statement victory for Team Renner Bros as they outlasted Team J-Mo in a game that hinged on efficiency and free-throw shooting.
James Renner led the way with a 14-point effort, showcasing his inside-out game, while Phil Vacheron (8 points) and Shaun Lucas (6 points) provided crucial buckets and rebounds down the stretch. The Renner Bros' depth proved too much, as they hit five three-pointers and capitalized at the line. Kion Gould subbed in for Mike Renner admirably and dropped an easy 15 points.
For Team J-Mo, Jeff Morris was the lone bright spot, scoring 14 points with a pair of deep bombs. Scottie Wheeler (10 points), Pat Rost (9 points) and KP Popovic (6 points) tried to keep pace, but the squad struggled to generate consistent offense against a stingy Renner Bros defense. Without rookie sensation, Brent Zambon and even bigger sensations Alexander Wu & Rob Sharp, Team J-Mo did not have their usual star power to compete in this one, RBros 52, J-Mo 42.
7:30 PM – Team Silverman 36, Team Schuster 27
Silverman Shines in Defensive Showdown, Edges Schuster 36-27
In a battle of will and determination, Team Silverman emerged victorious against Team Schuster in a low-scoring affair. Andy Silverman led his squad with a game-high 13 points, including clutch free throws and a strong inside presence showing he’s still one of the strongest players in the league – and more than just a handsome face, he’s a leader and bulldog in the paint. Ken Hayes added 9 points and tons of rizz for Team Silverman, while Bo Reed’s sharpshooting from beyond the arc contributed 6.
Team Schuster struggled to find rhythm offensively, with Fred Schuster (9 points) and Yohan Collure (6 points) leading the charge. Despite a solid defensive effort, Schuster's squad couldn’t keep up with Silverman’s timely execution and mighty defensive effort.

Moore’s Masterclass Leads Showtime to Victory

Neema Mohseni caught fire from beyond the arc, hitting three triples and finishing with 15 points.
Team Captain, Ali Nayab provided a spark with 13 points and 9 rebounds, but Jolly’s lack of consistent scoring runs prevented them from making a serious push in the second half. Bo Mazhar worked hard in the paint, adding 12 points and 10 rebounds, but 'Merica’s depth proved too much to handle.
Key Takeaways:
- Fogel’s Shooting Spree: Avi Fogel’s five threes helped 'Merica build separation and keep the momentum throughout.
- Rebounding Edge: 'Merica controlled the glass, outrebounding Jolly 48-32, leading to second-chance opportunities.
- Jolly’s Missed Chances: Despite some strong individual performances, Jolly struggled to string together enough runs to keep pace.

5:15 PM Game – Kong 65, Nimo 45
Team Kong Overpowers Team Nimo in Week 4 Showdown
SAN DIEGO -- Bay Club Basketball action heated up Tuesday night as Team Kong flexed their muscle in a dominant 65-45 victory over Team Nimo. In a battle of brute force and finesse, it was Team Kong’s relentless rebounding and efficient playmaking that stole the show.
Kong’s Kingdom: Bakhit and Reilly Reign Supreme
James Bakhit and Danny Reilly turned the court into their personal playground, imposing their will on both ends of the floor. Bakhit torched the scoreboard with a game-high 27 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists, finishing with a monstrous 46 TSP. Meanwhile, Reilly played the perfect partner-in-crime, controlling the glass with a staggering 21 rebounds, 7 assists, and 17 points for an equally impressive 45 TSP. With these two leading the charge, Team Kong was simply unstoppable.
Shimizu’s Steady Hand & The Supporting Cast
Jordan Shimizu provided a much-needed scoring punch, contributing 13 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists. Keith Singery and Umit Suri rounded out the effort with gritty performances, combining for 17 rebounds, 8 assists, and 8 points, proving that Team Kong’s strength lies in its depth.
Team Nimo’s Uphill Battle
Despite the lopsided score, Team Nimo had its bright spots. Arley Gonzalez was the offensive spark plug, dropping 19 points, 10 rebounds, and a 30 TSP performance to keep his team in the fight. Jordan Mole orchestrated the offense with a well-rounded stat line of 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists (25 TSP), showcasing his ability to facilitate and attack. However, Team Nimo struggled to match Team Kong’s physicality on the boards, leading to a rebounding disparity that proved costly.
Chris Gardinier and Benji Phillips did their best to hold down the paint, both hauling in 13 rebounds each, but Team Kong’s relentless second-chance opportunities proved to be the dagger. Mo Correia chipped in with 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists, but the offensive consistency just wasn’t there for Team Nimo.
Final Thoughts
This was a statement win for Team Kong, proving they have the depth and dominance to be serious contenders moving forward. Team Nimo, on the other hand, will need to regroup, focus on their shot selection, and find a way to combat the glass-eating monsters that roam Bay Club’s court.
6:15 PM Game – Rasta 77, ‘Merica 53
Rasta Rolls Over Team America in Bay Club Blowout
From the opening tip, it was clear that Team Rasta came ready to run, gun, and dominate. By the final buzzer, their high-energy attack overwhelmed ‘Merica securing a commanding 77-53 victory in Tuesday night’s matchup.
Rasta Rains Buckets
Team Rasta spread the wealth offensively, with Alex Wade leading all scorers with 23 points, including four three-pointers that left the net smoldering. Wade’s seven assists and relentless pace in transition kept Team America on their heels all game.
Big man Itai Hirsch owned the glass, pulling down a game-high 16 rebounds while chipping in 9 points. Meanwhile, Stijn de Jong (17 points, 3 assists) and Mike Reardon (7 points, 9 rebounds) provided a steady inside-out presence that left Team America scrambling to contain the onslaught.
Every Rasta player made their mark, with Matt Weinberg’s 8 assists carving up the defense and Anton Moskalenko adding solid production off the bench. By the time the dust settled, Team Rasta had stacked up 77 total points — a testament to their efficient, selfless play.
Fogel Catches Fire, But It’s Not Enough
For Team ‘Merica, Avi Fogel put on a show, lighting it up from deep with five three-pointers en route to a team-high 21 points. His backcourt mate, Garrett Pagon, added 14 points and 12 rebounds, grinding on both ends of the floor to keep his squad in contention.
But beyond Fogel’s hot hand, Team America struggled to find consistent offense. Abdullah Ahamed (8 pts, 4 ast) and Andy Kirkpatrick (5 pts, 3 reb) chipped in, but Roe-Satkowski and Zalkin were held in check as Team Rasta’s defensive intensity wore them down.
Too Much Rasta, Too Late for America
Despite flashes of fight, Team America couldn’t withstand the depth and firepower of their opponents. The rebounding battle tilted heavily in Rasta’s favor (52-34), and the difference in assists (28-20) highlighted the disparity in ball movement and shot creation.
With another dominant win in the books, Team Rasta is making it clear—they’re the team to beat this season.
7:15 Game – Showtime 92, Dood 65
Showtime Whacks Dood on the Head, Rolls to 92-65 Victory
If there was ever a doubt about Team Showtime’s firepower, they erased it in emphatic fashion Tuesday night. Behind a scorching 92-point explosion, Lance & Cal’s squad ran circles around Team Dood securing a dominant 92-65 victory.
Calvin Fowler Torches the Net
They don’t call them “Showtime” for nothing. Calvin Fowler put on an absolute clinic showing us why he’s a legitimate contender for this season’s League MVP. The sharp-shooting lefty drilled 9 three-pointers and tallied a game-high 36 points. His lights out shooting had defenders shaking their heads, and Fowler himself smiling, as he rained buckets from all over the court, finishing with an impressive league leading TSP of 49 earning him well-deserved Player of the Week honors.
In an equally impressive performance, Lance Moore orchestrated the offense with the precision of a basketball savant, overloading the stat sheet with 23 points, 12 assists, and 13 rebounds for his seemingly routine triple-double showcasing his all-around dominance. Moore looked fully healthy -- and as quick as ever -- with what seemed like endless coast to coast buckets and levitating leaps for rebounds. Our scouts here on the Bay Club Basketball News Team believe we have the EYE, and it appears to us that the reigning league MVP is finding his form.
Marc Mueseler had an all-around stellar performance scoring 13 pts and grabbing 10 rebounds despite being bonked on the head by an opponent. Daniel Carey (13 pts, 7 reb) anchored the supporting cast, while Rob Sharp’s gritty 7-point, 5-rebound effort helped keep Team Showtime in control from start to finish.
Team Dood Fights, But Can't Keep Pace
Despite the lopsided final score, Ben Stoodley battled hard, leading his squad with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Hayden Lescault added 18 points, flashing his signature inside-out scoring, while Nick Dove (10 pts, 3 reb) and Adrian Doty (7 pts, 5 reb) chipped in valiantly to round out the scoring.
However, Team Dood struggled to contain Showtime’s offensive onslaught. Their 38 total rebounds fell short of Showtime’s 44, and their 15 assists paled in comparison to Showtime’s 23, a testament to their opponent’s crisp ball movement and unselfish play.
Showtime Sends a Message
With 92 points Team Showtime made a bold statement: they are a well-oiled scoring machine. As the season unfolds, it’s clear that any team hoping to stop them will need a near-flawless defensive effort.
For Team Dood, this game serves as a wake-up call. They’ll need to regroup, tighten up on defense, and find ways to keep up with elite offenses if they want to make noise in the postseason.
One thing’s for sure—Team Showtime is living up to their name, and the rest of the league better take notice.
8:15 PM Game – Jolly 83, Sonic 70
Team Jolly Outlasts Sonic in Hard-Fought 83-70 Victory
In a battle of contrasting styles, Team Jolly used precision offense and relentless ball movement to outgun Team Sonic in an 83-70 win on Tuesday night.
Tony Johnson Puts on a Show
With the game up for grabs, Tony Johnson took over, pouring in a game-high 27 points, including 4 three-pointers, to lead Team Jolly’s offensive explosion. His ability to score from deep while attacking the hoop left Team Sonic searching for answers.
Meanwhile, Ali Nayab (15 points, 9 assists) orchestrated the offense brilliantly, keeping the ball moving and setting up open looks for teammates. Neema Mohseni (14 points, 8 rebounds) and Bo Mazhar (10 points, 6 rebounds) provided strong inside play, while James Renner (7 rebounds) added hustle on the boards. Anthony Nayab made an appearance and made easy work of what must seem like the old man’s league to him with his 16 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in limited action.
The team’s unselfish approach was evident in their 29 total assists, keeping Sonic’s defense scrambling all game long.
Sergey Volkov's Heroics Not Enough
On the other side, Sergey Volkov did everything in his power to keep Team Sonic in the fight, dropping 25 points while securing 9 rebounds and dishing out 5 assists. James Cox (9 pts, 14 reb) dominated the glass, and Mason Tucker (9 pts, 5 reb) provided a spark from beyond the arc.
Despite out-rebounding Team Jolly (52-43), Sonic struggled to match their opponent’s efficiency. Poor shooting from deep (8 made threes vs. Jolly’s 12) and a lack of ball movement (22 assists vs. Jolly’s 29) proved costly as they tried to close the gap.
Jolly’s Late Surge Seals the Win
Sonic stayed within striking distance for most of the game, but Jolly’s late-game composure proved decisive. Johnson and Nayab controlled the tempo down the stretch, making key shots and limiting turnovers to put the game out of reach.
With the win, Team Jolly continues to showcase their balanced attack and disciplined execution, making them a dangerous team as the season progresses. Team Sonic, meanwhile, will need to tighten their perimeter defense and find more offensive consistency if they want to bounce back next game. Final Score: Team Jolly 83, Team Sonic 70.

Nick Jordan Arley Benji Chris Mo & Baby Gronk
Vs
Danny Keith James Thair Jordan Billy Umit
Shooting and teamwork vs beef and braun. Benji vs the Kajun Killer. The Commissioner loves braun because he has none. Thair minus 8.5
6:15pm
Garrett Avi Abdullah Andy Trevor Alex James
Vs
Stijn Mike Alex Itai Anton Trent Matt
Alex has 47 points last week against a subbing senior citizen commissioner and immediately texted his parents to let them know. That's bad juju. Avi on the other hand is boasting a 2-1 record despite scoring less points that his opponents - odd. The Commissioner thinks Avi might be on his last legs and is depending upon Andy K to carry the team. Bad plan. Anton minus 4.5
7:15pm
Lance Cal Marc Travon Sasha Daniel Rob
Vs
Ben Hayden Matt Nick Adrian Michael Jamie
Lance and Cal have yet to gel, Marc is on a yoga retreat and Sasha has a booboo. Whereas Hayden & Ben's squad put up a good fight last week despite missing big time impact players. The Commissioner is not one to start rumors, but both Matt and Hayden's boo missed their first game last week..... draw your own conclusions.
Nick Dove minus 3.5 in the game of the night.
8:15pm
Ali Tony Neema Bo James Fusca Nate
Vs
Sergey Conrad Mo James Eric Mike Mason
The battle for last place. Ali and Tony are reeling from three straight losses and now are up against an angry Mo who's dealing with 3 straight losses of his own. The Commissioner really likes this Sergey squad long term and thinks they will figure it out. On the other hand, I'm thinking of bringing a trumpet to play taps as Ali and Tony take the floor for these former finalist's 4th loss in a row.
Eric Marlin minus 11.5
