Terry-less Thunder Buddies falls to a hot BOOM squad.
Thunder Buddies 4 Life 51 Boom Shakalaka 52
Sorry for the late write-ups guys, I had food poisoning last week and am just now getting caught up. On another administrative note, for those of you who haven’t heard, this is my last season keeping score in the coed ranks. I’ve got a new job that takes up quite a bit more of my time and it leaves very little free time to work on CAC stuff so I had to give it up. I’ll still be around, probably playing in various leagues I just won’t be sitting behind the scorer’s table any more.
These 2 teams met once before and it was a battle, with BOOM ultimately pulling out a solid victory over the Bouvier-less Thunder Buddies squad. This time TB would be without one of their best players with Terry out nursing a leg injury. You could tell TB was looking to get Bouvier going early and often, Burke found him for the opening bucket. They would pull out to a 5-2 lead before Ian answered with a triple. The game would be a close battle early on, Thunder Buddies grab a 9-7 lead 5 minutes into the game before rattling off back to back buckets to go up 13-7. BOOM was struggling to get their open looks to fall.
BOOM would answer with a quick 4-point run of their own, getting the game to within 2 with 13 minutes to go. BOOM was starting to control their tempo offensively but still couldn’t secure the lead. Cody made it a 20-18 game in favor of Thunder Buddies with a strong move down low but Amy did what she does best and drilled a three-ball right when her team needed a big bucket. Thunder Buddies would hold onto a 25-23 lead with 5 minutes to go in the half. BOOM was only able to score one more bucket in the final 5 minutes but luckily they were stepping up the defense and only let Thunder Buddies go into the half up 5, 30-25. Bouvier had 17 points and Ian lead all BOOM players with 10.
Immediately out of the halftime break Tristan hit his first shot from beyond the arc to bring his squad within 2 then they tied it on a Cody lay-up. And this is when I started to focus a bit more on the score and less on the notes. This was an old fashioned barn burner and a hard fought game. BOOM would go on a 6-0 run to take a 48-38 lead over Thunder Buddies with under 7 minutes to play. Yet again Amy hit a big deep ball in transition on a great feed from LJ to bring it back to a 7-point game. Thunder Buddies climbed back in it to make it 50-49 with under 2 minutes to go.
Thunder Buddies then took their first lead since early in the 2nd half, up 51-50 after a Bouvier jumper finds paydirt. Then a failure to convert at the line and it’s BOOM ball. Burke grabs a big steal with 45 seconds to go but Thunder Buddies can’t add to their slim 1-point lead and BOOM is able to get a bucket to take a 1 point lead, 52-51. That would be our final score with BOOM upsetting Thunder Buddies again. There was some confusion at the end with the clock/score due to the broken board so I would like to apologize on behalf of the CAC and hopefully we don’t run into this again.
