Cory Pitts dribbles the ball up court for the Tru Ballas. The Tru Ballas kicked off round three of intramural 5-on-5 action Feb. 22 with a win over Dem Boyz 54-34 in the 1:30 p.m. contest.

Led by Maddrick Long with 15 points, the Tru Ballas extended their undefeated record by dishing Dem Boyz their third straight loss of the season. Dem Boyz were led by Brandon Brown with 14 points.

At the 2:30 p.m. game between the All-Stars and C-Town, Jonathan Little took center stage for the All-Stars and made the game a clinic on how to drain three-pointers. Finishing the game with 17 total points, Little dropped five three-pointers within minutes near the end of the first half.

Cyril Young dunks the ball for the All-Stars. Because of his touch from behind the arch, he was given the nickname �The Truth� by teammate Dayne Styles. Styles also had two three-pointers in the contest. Little�s fellow leading scorer for the game was Terry Albert, who also served up five three-pointers.

The All-Stars had a commanding 38-15 lead at the half, and maintained dominance for the remainder of the contest. Leading by more than 20 points with less than five minutes left in the game results in a �called-contest.� This was the case in this battle, and the All-Stars recorded the win with a score of 56-30.

Leading scorers for C-Town included Drew Martin, Ryan Covington, DJ Little and Blake Landrum, all with six points.

After the third round of action, the Tru Ballas ranked number one with an undefeated record of 3-0.

The All-Stars were a close second, having been handed only one loss, and with a record of 2-1.

In third was C-Town, 1-2, and ranked fourth and still hungry for their first win was Dem Boyz, 0-3.

All 5-on-5 basketball games are held on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m in the gymnasium on the Floyd Campus. For information on any intramural activity, contact David Mathis at [email protected].
