Mavericks slip by Bomb Squad 36-32
By Eric Gregory 
The intramural basketball season reached its midway point on Oct. 4. Three games were to be played, though only one resulted in activity on the court. The first game, Chargers vs. DSGB, ended in a victory for the DSGB when they learned that the Chargers had forfeited the remainder of the season. The second game resulted in the Bomb Squad playing the Mavericks. During the first half, the Mavericks pulled away for a 22-8 lead. However, the Bomb Squad�s leader, Ammar Abdellatif, arrived near the end of the first half and ignited a comeback. With Abdellatif�s spunk and hard-nosed defense, the Bomb Squad were able to close the lead to four and made a game out of it. But the Mavericks were too much, finishing off the Bomb Squad 36-32. �We play the best when we pace ourselves and don�t rush things. We played relaxed today and that was the reason we won,� said Dexter Guice, who led the Mavericks with 19 points. Sadly, after that exciting second game, the third game was also a forfeit. The Shoe Company did not arrive at the gym in time, and the victory was awarded to the Suns. So far, the Suns and the Mavericks share the record. |
