BULLDOGS BRING HOME TITLE IN FIRST SEASON

Bulldogs Run Away With Final 68-49Finals:

Bulldogs 68, Leftover Lasagna 49

Finals MVP Collin London (14) sparked an 11-0 run midway through the first half and the Bulldogs never looked back as they claimed their first BVBL title in their first year of existance. Maurice Horton (13), Zach Valliere (17) and Josh Wells (8) gave the Bulldogs a tough inside out punch and the Leftover Lasagna offense sputtered after playing tremendously in the semis. They should commended for their 4th straight trip to the finals- Zach Valliere claims his 4th ring, the rest of the Bulldogs claim their first in BVBL play. Who will be back to take it in 2020? Only time will tell. Kamahl Walker was named playoff MVP for his efforts throughout the playoff tournament.

Playoffs:
Bedroom Bullies 59, OOSB 56 TRIPLE OVERTIME
WHAT. A. GAME Andrew Carroll (13) and Ryan Hill (16) lead OOSB out of the gate strong. Justin Brilliant helped keep it close in the first half for Bullies. At the end of regulation Chris Hill hit 2 huge free throws to put OOSB up 3, but Mike Aiello (15) drilled a ridiculous constested 27 footer to force OT. After 2 even OT periods, we went to the never before seen triple OT first to 3 walk off overtime. Rudy Mellone (26) hit a wing three to walk off with the victory and head for the semis.

Leftover Lasagna 67, SonsofRickGrady 54
Eddie Capstick (29) and Eric Guglielmello (27) got buckets whenever it got close. Leftover returns to the final 4 for the 6th straight year. Bill Everson had 14 for the Sons.

Bulldogs 77, Rimjobs 75
A classic in the 1-8 game as the Rimjobs almost pulled a historic upset. Josh Wells (21) and Mike Rubin (11) would lead the Bulldogs, but a furious Bulldogs comeback spearheaded by Nate Manz with 24 and Connor Brown with 18 fell just short. A Tyler Miller 25 footer went long as the game ended and the Bulldogs advanced to the finals.
