The first game was played by the Celtics and the Bobcats. Blake Pattillo, the Bobcats main man, was the leading scorer with 32 points. The Bobcats went on to win, 50-35.

Pattillo, a math major from Rockmart, said, "Gotta thank the team for a heck of a game and the awesome shot I got for 32 points."

Dem Boys and the Pacers faced off in the second game. Quantavious Martin of the Pacers had a great game. He started out on the right foot and kept it that way for the remainder of the game. Dem Boys were no match for Dem Pacers Boys from the LBC (Lil' Bitty Cedartown). The ending result was no surprise, Pacers winning, 34-22. Martin led the way for the Pacers with 22 points.
