Division 1:
Earlier in the week I predicted SoCal Sonics would beat Beast Tribe “fairly easy” and on Sunday my prediction became a reality. SoCal Sonics demolished Beast Tribe 93-65 led by Kyle Sears’ 26pts, 8reb and 6ast. Beast Tribe was not at full strength with Jason Harris out with a back injury and Chet Johnson MIA. SoCal Sonics definitely look like the team to beat right about now.

Division 2:
My prediction of Arrowhead GOAT beating GrandStand with “unselfishness and efficiency” has me looking like an ancient prophet. While GOAT routed GrandStand 52-31 they were beyond efficient shooting 66% from the field and 73% from 3 point range. I counted 6 straight trips up the floor with over 5 passes, until they hit an open shooter for a high percentage shot. GrandStand on the other hand looked like the junior varsity team. Gary McNellys led the team with 14pts and 5rebs but if you take away his 4-10 shooting, the team shot 22% (6-27) for the game. GrandStand’s two big men, Justin Jerry and Charles “Mr. Floater” Grays were nursing injuries but toughed it out to go a dismal 3-14 from the field. GOAT is looking like the favorite in Division 2 while GrandStand is struggling BIG TIME. I’d like to take this moment to remind everyone that GrandStand was 2-4 last season before rattling off 4 straight wins and a Championship last season, DON’T COUNT THEM OUT!

Training Camp:
I was wrong again…..AND1 did not beat SWERVE. SWERVE was able to AND1 49-39 with a stellar defensive performance. AND1 added a few new pieces that still haven’t yet meshed together. Wait until the playoffs this team will make a deep run.
