The Steamboats Show and Prove by taking the B2 5v5 East in thriller against Upstate Connection
Upstate Connection 41 Steamboats 48
One thing that has proven true in my experience watching games at CAC, is that depth, not only in talent, but also in numbers always seems to take the cake. The Steamboats had 9 players for this game, and often during the season they had 10 or more players and that has helped significantly. They always seem to have fresh players off the bench, on top of having talent and focus. The Steamboats came into the playoffs as the #1 seed and they proved in this game why they were the best of the division.
Leng Tang was the Steamboats leading scorer with 11 points. That should speak loudly as to how they are the most selfless team in the league and spread the ball the best. Kemp Fleming had a strong game, scoring 8 points and grabbing 8 rebounds. Chris Mackay was limited to only 7 points in this one, but Steamboats were able to prevail despite not having Mackay’s three-point stroke on. Randall Yee also helped out with 7 points. This game went into halftime tied and it was an excellent matchup.
This was an outstanding defensive performance by both teams. The steamboats had 8 steals while Upstate Connection had 7. Both Bill Warren and Trevor Koob each had 2 blocked shots. Koob had a double-double with 10 and 10. Keith Thompson, who has given it all every game this season, once again came through with 13 points and 6 rebounds. Upstate Connection usually can rely on Dan McNamara’s deep shot, and Scott Green’s offensive onslaught. Both Green and McNamara were off big time in this game. The Steamboats were able to push through and take the victory.
Halftime:
Steamboats-20
Upstate-20
Final:
Steamboats-48
Upstate-41
Game MVP- Leng Tang
