 They've done it again! Dane Styles and teammates have defeated another opponent on the court.
Styles, a physical therapy major, said, �There is no one that can guard my teammates, or myself. They are just out there for exercise.�
Styles led with 25 points for the Dream Team Part II in the Feb. 3 game, while Neal Ragsdale led for the Sloppy Joes with 20 points as the Dream Team Part II came out on top 52-43.
Stepping fresh out of the box this season were the Pacers. Their first game was played Feb. 3 against the Sloppy Joes. Brandon Buford put in 24 points for the Pacers, while Mack Rolling scored 19 for the Sloppy Joes. But when the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, it was the Sloppy Joes on top, 48-42.
During the Jan. 27 pre-season games, Style's 24 points, along with teammate Charles Hill's 19 points, helped the Dream Team Part II clinch their first victory of the semester. Both are key players for the team and play a major role on the court.
Hill, a computer science major, said, �I really don't see much competition and I really don't think that anyone can guard me.�
As for their opponents, the Sloppy Joes were led by Neal Ragsdale, who had 17 points, while Ric Osbourne contributed 11 points.
Although the Dream Team Part II came out on top in the end, 62-52, the Sloppy Joes showed no signs of giving up. According to Osbourne, a business administration major, �5-on-5 is better than 3-on-3. We plan to take the championship from the Dream Team Part II.�
The standings as of Feb. 3 are Dream Team Part II 1-0, Sloppy Joes 1-1 and Pacers 0-1.
