| Alex Marshall, Sean Shuler, Steven
Verovich, Andrew Moore, and Zach Hilko of Medina, Nate Washburn,
Cory Ward, and John Kordeleski of David J. Nye and Dan Shady of Lakewood
make op the "MISFITZ" team. The boys got off to a rocky start and
were crushed their first game against Denbrook. They
pulled together the second game against Selynma and evened their record at
1-1.
The Misfitz' third game had them opposing the
undefeated team from Lakewood Chapter. The game was intense.
Everyone played well, but Lakewood's talented team ran away with the game
setting the Misfitz back to a 1-2 record and a tie for third place.
With only one more game before the playoffs begin the Misfitz must regroup
and play hard against Painesville this week.
Painesville walked onto the court and never looked
back as they gave our boys a lesson in basketball, enough said!
Our first playoff game was against Selynma.
Medina/Nye pulled together and played well defeating Selynma chapter.
No last place this year! Having won our
first playoff game we had to square off against Lakewood the next week.
Everyone played hard and kept the game to a couple of points through the
first half. Then, the wheels fell off and Lakewood ran away
with a big win. With one more loss and out for Medina/Nye, we would
have to make a come back and beat Denbrook.
Medina/Nye took off with an early lead against
Denbrook The second quarter belonged to Denbrook as they went up by
16 at one point. We had to re-group at the half. Medina/Nye
came together as a team and pulled the score to within 1 point with just
21 seconds remaining, but Denbrook held on to force us out of the
playoffs. I am so proud of each member of
our team. Week after week, win or lose, all the other teams
had to respect us. For your hard work, team spirit, and
sportsmanship I thank you. Dad Douglas
