HHI BACK & BETTER THAN EVER

After a few weeks without enough players, HHI is BACK & BETTER THAN EVER judging by Mighty Kerr's Report below:

Just got my power back on at the house.  So here's my belated HHI report. 

On a snowy morning, we had 11 players at Grace for HHI.  Considering the weather forecast, that was a great showing.  Iron Mike and Alan Vath selected the following teams:

Vath's Vandals - Vath, Marsch, Scholesy, Phil Weller and Mighty
IronMen - Swoop, Iron, Bails, Dr. Todd, Gary, and Quick

It was good to see knee-scab Phil return to action.  His boxing out was in mid-season form, just ask Dr. Todd.

Quick remained as sub for the Ironmen as he was dealing with a stiff back.  However he did receive some between game back-stretching from Dr. Vinnie Boom-Bah (aka Swoop).  We really could have used former HHI chiropractor, Vinny the Body, today as Mighty's back was also bothering him.

Game 1 went to the Vandals 15-12.  Game 2 also went the Vandal's way.  A combination of hot shooting by Scholesy along with the usual stellar play of Marsch and hustle of Vath lead to the first 2 wins.  But the Ironmen came back to take Game 3.


Then we looked at the clock and it was only 9:30 so for the first time in weeks we played an ironman game.  Led by some 3-point shooting by Swoop, Quick and Gary, the Ironmen also took Game 4.  With the series tied at 2-2, and with the snow piling up outside, everyone decided to go for a winner take all championship game.

The competitive juices were definitely flowing and it was a hard-fought game with some good, tough defense being played (unlike the Harlem Wizards according to Marsch, who he burned for 6 points).  It was 14-13 for several series up and down the court.  Finally Vath buried the game winner to take the DC.

So everyone went home tired and ready to shovel this freak snowstorm.

Looking forward to better weather next weekend and some more hoops action.

Say "HI" to your "KNEES"

By Your Mighty Kerr,


{Note below report was from 2 weeks ago since not enough HHI players this past Saturday}


Due to the weather forecast of rain overnight and cool/windy conditions for Sat AM, the decision was made to play at Grace Church. We had 8 players turn out at the church.


Bad KNEES: Mighty, Doctor Todd, Iron, Marsh
Good KNEES: Swoop, Gary US Bonds, Bails, Kenny

The bad knees had the good knees outnumbered 4 knee braces to 0 at the start. But by the end, Swoop was in need of a brace. He aggravated his knee in game 2 and hobbled his way through the rest of the way. To his credit he was able to hit some critical 2 balls and still swoop to the basket and lead his squad to a 3-0 sweep. They were all close fought games.

Note that HHI's indoor season at Grace has officially begun as announced this past Friday by Iron Mike.
