Cincinnati vs.
Stanford - This game was closer than the
score indicates. Stanford, a new team to the league this year had
several players score in double figures. A couple of players
scoring 3 point shots. Stanford had a slow start with
scoring only 9 points for the half, however there must have been a very
good half-time pep talk because Stanford came back in the second half
to score 23 points.
Cincinnati - a team with players, having played together for 2 or 3
years, experience showed up. Very evenly paced with a 22 point
1st half and a 26 point second half. Having 6 players score with
two in double figures and two players scoring three
point shots. Cincinnati came out with the win 48 to 34.
Higher Scorer (Cinn. - T. Thomas, 15 pts) (Stanford

Wake Forest vs.
Syracuse - Wooooo, looks like a tight one. Wake Forest
picks up from where they left off last year with a win over a very good
Syracuse team. Two very close halves with a 18 to 16 first half
wake forest lead and a 22 to 23 strong finish by syracuse.
However, syracuse comes up one point short.

North Carolina
vs. Georgetown - a very close game in the 1st halve with a
score of North Carolina 11 and Georgetown 13. North Carolina
coming off a slow year last year, appears to have rebuild and are
looking to have a lot more fun this year - not to say a few more wins.
However, today was not their day as Georgetown out scored NC 19 to 11
in
the second half.

Kentucky vs.
St. Joseph's - Being coach Aronhalt's first year in the league
and even with the addition of his son Derrick (who moved from Wake
Forest to play with his DAD), St. Joseph's was unable to get their
first
win as a new team to the league. Kentucky, a strong team in the
past and runner-ups from the 2003 season put together two good halves
of 14 pts and 17 pts to go on to a 31 to 19 win.

Virginia vs.
Maryland - An uphill challenge for Virginia, the 2003
Junior
Division Champions, being a completely rebuilding team, losing many of
their last year players to the senior division. Having only 2
players return, Virginia will get better as the year progresses.
However, Maryland has rebuild from previous years and come back with
what looks like a good team. Having 11 players score, it appears
maryland may be the team everyone is going to want to beat.

St. Johns vs.
Uconn - very good match up with two seasoned teams coming
together on opening day to showcase their stuff. St. Johns,
veteran coach Hill may have had a slight advantage with the experience
of 5 year player Little Kenny and returning player Sam Lavela.
Both scored 10 pts each to lead St. Johns over Uconn.
However, Uconn put up a good challenge with a very close halve time
score of 19 to 23. Down only 5 pts., DJ. Whiten scored 11 of his
game high 18 but was unable to help pull his team out with the
win.

(J. Bowie vs. S. Morris) turned out to be a all around team effort by
Maryland where 9 players scored to a combined 52 team points as
Maryland defeats Kentucky 52 to 18. Maryland was just too strong
with too many players on the scoreboard. However, Kentucky played
without the services of their big man S. Morris.

first half only scoring 9 points to St. Johns 22 points. However,
Stanford has a much better second half scoring 25 points to St. Johns
16 points. This stanford team may just be turning the
corner. If they can continue the type effort they game in the
second half of this game, they are going to give a lot of team some
trouble. However, St. Johns increase their record to 2 wins and 0
losses. Big game by Khana Ma.

Albert Bastian to make a charge in the second halve. Kentucky put
up a good fight but was unable to overcome the first halve lead by Wake
Forest. Wake Forest's Tailon Thomas served up 11 first halve and
15 second halve points to lead Wake Forest over Kentucky 45 to
44. Wake Forest wins this one by 1 point and becomes the only

vs. Stanford - a slow first halve did the damage to North
Carolina. Having to try to come back from a 18 pt. to 7 pt
Stanford halve time lead. North Carolina had various
opportunities but the basket just seem to have a lid on it.
Nothing would seem to go in. While Stanford gets a good game from
Jaron Ivey with a game high 14 points. Stanford gets their
first win of the year with a 33 to 21 win over North
Carolina. Look out, Stanford just may be making a playoff
run !!!!!!!

St. Joesphs - two teams battling for their first win of
the season turned out to be just the battle each expected with Virginia
and St. Joesphs taking this one to the wire in a 1 pt victory for
Virginia. In a low scoring game both teams played real good
defense. This game could have went either way. St. Joesphs
gets a balance scoring effort with ranges of score from 2 to 6 pts for
the teams players. While Virginia Carrington Jones leads all
scorers with a game high 10 points in Virginia's 23 to 22 win.

by Timothy Thomas and Lamont Wims to dump in a total three - three
points shots between the two players. Cinn increases their record
to 2 wins and 2 losses with a big game from Timothy Thomas - game high
15 pts. St. Johns came out slow scoring only 8 pts in the first
halve but put together a good second halve scoring 15 pts. to
Cinn. 13 pts. If I am correct about this Timmy Wims coached
team, Cinn is putting together a charge for their playoff run.

Maryland vs.
Syracuse - in what proved to be one of the most exciting games
thus far, these two teams needed to go double overtime to decide a
winner. Some real smart playing, hustle, drive and determination
came through as a no quit attitude from two very good teams.
Syracuse overcomes a strong attach by Maryland to come out with the one
point, double overtime 54 to 53 victory over Maryland. Maryland
drops from the undefeated rank with a 3 wins and 1 loss record, while
Syracuse increase their record to 2 wins and 2 losses. A flip
flop game where Syracuse was down at the halve 29 to 9 but came back
strong in the second halve 31 to 11, to tie it up in regulation
at 40 to 40. Followed by two more heated battles in overtime
number 1 and overtime number 2. A key 3 pt. shot by T. Bonheyo
and some strong inside play by K. Berrigan put together the 1 pt.
win. Look for these two team to meet again. If so,
its going to be the match of "Win or Go Home" !!!!!!!!!!!

halve. However, St. Johns put up a good fight scoring 18 pts. in
the first halve and 13 points in the second halve. Georgetown
gets another double figure game from J. Thomas - his forth this
year. While, St. Johns had an even scoring attack
with D. Jenkins

Syracuse vs.
St. Joseph's - St. Joseph, with an 0 wins and 4 loss record,
showed how much they have improved by giving a very good Syracuse team
(2 wins and 2 losses) a battle to the end. However, Syracuse wins
32 to 23. The final score does not reflect the battle Syracuse
had to over come as the St. Joseph's team kept coming at
them. St. Joseph's held Syracuse to only 12 pt. in the first
halve
with all 12 pts being made by one player (B. McMillan). However,
St. Joseph was unable to match them only scoring 8 pts. in the
first halve. Some real good defense kept St. Joseph's in
this game for the first halve. However, St. Joseph ran out of
steam in the second halve failing to match Syracuse in a 20 pt. to 15
pts. Syracuse advantage.

Kentucky vs.
Virginia - Kentucky wins 44 to 34. Virginia's Carrington
Jones put up a team high 18 points. Scoring on three - 3 pointers
in the first halve, Carrington was hot with a 13 first halve
points. However, Kentucky's Stephon Morris was not going to
have any of that, Stephon did Mr. Jones one better, with a 14 point
first halve and a game high 24 points. Kentucky got off to a 10
point first halve lead and needed all 10 points to kept off the
Virginia attack. Virginia played Kentucky even in the second
halve with a tie, second halve score of 14 points each.
Higher Scorer (Kentucky - S. Morris 24pts) (Virginia - C.

Next week game: Kentucky vs. Cinn

Cinn. vs North
Carolina - North Carolina gets their first win of the
season with an impressive 41 to 25 win over a good Cinn team.
North Carolina
got an game high 17 points from Jerry Smith. Jerry scored 13 of
this 17 points in the first halve. Cinn, looking to increase
their record to 3 wins and 2 losses, were given a set back and are now
faced with a 2 win and 3 loss record going into the last game of the
regular season. Cinn is going to have to pull out all the stops
because they face a very good Kentucky team next week. While,
North Carolina will look to keep the steam rolling as they face
Virginia
next week and the chance to get their second win of the season.
Good luck to both teams.

Wake Forest vs.
Maryland - Wake Forest remains undefeated with a close 40 to 37
win over Maryland. Wake Forest is now the only undefeated team in
both the Senior and Junior Divisions. A really good game, with
Wake Forest having to come from behind from a 18 to 14 pts Maryland
halve time lead. However, Wake Forest out scored Maryland 26 to
19 in the second halve. Thanks to some slick three point shooting
by Donald Dawson (2 three's), Jordan Dawson (1 three's) Tryon Hoy (2
three's) and Tailon Thomas (1 three) all in the second halve gave Wake
Forest the push they needed to defeat a very good Maryland
team. Maryland coming off last weeks double overtime 1 pts
loss to Syracuse had a 20 pt. effort by Jeffrey Bowie. This was
a very good game between two teams with one loss between them.
However, Maryland falls to 3 wins and 2 loss.

Uconn - Stanford had two even halves scoring 9 pts in the first
halve and 10 points in the second halve. However, it was not
enough to out score Uconn's 18 pts. in the first halve and 19 pts. in
the second halve. Uconn wins this one - 37 to 19. Two very
even scoring halve by both teams, yet not good enough to keep the game
close. Dwayne Whiten gets his second double figure game in a roll
and lead all scorers with 12 points. Jaron Ivey lead Stanford
with a team high 8 points.

vs. Cleveland - the T-wolves picked up with their intense
defense from last year and put the clamps on the new team in the league
- Cleveland. With several returning 4 and 5 year players in the
league, the T-wolves were just too strong for Cleveland. However,
Cleveland (former 2003 Junior Division Champs, Virginia team) moves up
this
year to the Senior Division. It's going to be a challenge for
this
young team but look out, don't count them out, they have some very good
young players.

Both team having a evan distribution of player scoring, the Knicks out
scored Dallas to go on to a 46 to 31 win. Two very good team who
always have a lot of fun when they meet. Maybe we will see them
again in the playoffs. But, look out for Dallas, by the end of

vs. Maryland - Georgetown gets off to a real slow start with
scoring only 6 points in the first halve. No good, because
Maryland scored 32 points and added another 34 points in the second
halve to beat Georgetown 66 to 21. Maryland ties Georgetown with
a season record of 4 wins and 2 losses. Big win for Maryland
because it pushes them up in the final standings because Maryland has
beat both Georgetown and Kentucky (who has a 4 win and 2 loss
record as well). Maryland completes the season in 3rd place.

with DJ Whiten scoring double figures in the last 3 out of four
games. Uconn beats Syracuse 39 to 19. Uconn captures second
place in the overall season standing with a 5 win and 1 loss
record. Syracuse was unable to get their high scoring attack from
the usual suspects (B. McMillian, Ryan, B. and Kevin B.) and come
away without a player scoring double figures. However, DJ Whiten
put in a game high 15 points. It's going to get very interesting
as we get into round two and three of the playoff. These two team
could meet again.

Kentucky - Cinn seem to slow down toward the end of the regular
season, losing to a good Kentucky team 43 to 33. This brings
Kentucky regular season record to 4 wins and 2 losses. A three
way tie with Georgetown and Maryland. However, Maryland beat both
Kentucky and Georgetown in the regulars season and Kentucky's loss to
Wake Forest (number 1 rank team) with Georgetown' s loss to Uconn
(number 2 rank team) - brings the final season standing to Maryland
(3), Kentucky (4) and Georgetown (5). Big win for Kentucky who
positions themselves for a playoff run and possible match with number 1

regular season with an
impressive 21 to 11 win over Stanford. This match between the
two new teams for the league in 2004 brought both regular season
records to 1 win and 5 losses. I've talked to the coaches and
they are very excited about this years performance and looking forward
to next year. With only one win on the season, look out because
they will get top pick in the draft next year. BCWB would like to
thank both these first year coaches and wish them well in the playoff

to
Wake Forest
(number 1 rank team) 50 to 25. St. Johns ends the regular season
with 3 wins and 3 losses, tied in 4th place with Syracuse with 3 wins
and 3 losses. However, St. Johns drops all the way to 6th place
due to the three-way tie at third between Maryland, Kentucky and
Georgetown. St. Johns does maintain a step above Syracuse due to
St. John's strength of schedule having beat 2nd rank Uconn while
Syracuse did beat 3rd rank Maryland, Syracuse loss to 2nd rank
Uconn. That's the way the ball bounces sometime. We wish
St. Johns success in their first round action against a good Maryland
team.

Charlotte vs.
Knicks - In a game which the outcome would determine a potential
first place slot for the Knicks, the Knicks came out looking very
offensive minded but without any defense. That adds up to a 30 to
2 run in the first halve by Charlotte and a 68 to 43 win.
Charlotte came out "hooootttttttttt", I mean three point crazy.
C. Thomson (Charlotte) was a current version of "dead eye washington" -
where he ran off 4 three pointers and 3 inside the arch. All
within the first 10 mins. of the game. By the time the knicks
where able to realize Charlotte was about to run them off the court,
they picked it up with some tough inside play by K. Calhoun and T.
Kennedy. However it was too late. The knick did make a
charge to make it a respectable 25 point loss. Charlotte moves to
5 wins and 1 loss on the season and ties with the Bulls for first
place. However, the Bulls take the first place slot due to a
previous meeting between them (Charlotte vs. Bull Opening Day),
Charlotte forfeit the game due to a coaches challenge. Two very

Dallas vs.
Bulls - tight game in the first halve a 20 to 14 lead by the
Bulls. However, the Bulls pull away in the second halve to go on
to win 41 to 24. Two very good teams. Dallas was my
pre-season pick for the run for the gold. However, they have not
faired as well ending the season with a 1 win and 5 loss record.
I still believe they are a much better team than the record
states. The Bulls increase their record to 5 wins and 1
loss. Taking the 1st place position for the regular season.

Timberwolves
vs. Lakers - another tough game for the lakers, who came out hot
with a 28 to 23 halve time lead. However, "40", "40", "40" -
caught up with the lakers and the pressure was too much to stand.
The Timberwolves win this one 55 to 44. The Timberwolves are hard
to beat when the "40" (not the drink, but the press) is on.
Expect to see it in the playoffs as the Timberwolves return with a
mission to "Bring it on" and "Take it all". Believe it or not -
their first round playoff action is a repeat !!!!!!

Portland vs.
Cleveland - Cleveland will go down this year win-less.
However, if you talk to most Senior coaches, they all give the
Cleveland coaches and players high respect. Every game,
Cleveland, came to play and despite the score they kept on
coming. A good group of kids, still young (all current 8th
graders), will be back next year with more experience and ready to make
a run at the championship. Cleveland is a better team with the
aid of, missing and on vacation player, CJ. Thomas. Portland,
however, had nine players scoring on the day. Portland put on
some tough defense and a strong offensive attack to the bucket.
Portland wins 58 to 13.
High Scorer (Portland - S. Osigbeme13 pts.) (Cleveland - C.

Knicks vs.
Cleveland - the knicks were just too strong with a balance
scoring attach by guards Malik Simmons and Mo Martin with 20 and 18
pts. While their big man, Kevon Calhoun scored a game high 20
points. Mokie chipped in 15 points. Cleveland falls
to 0 wins and 2 losses. Missing their high scorer from last week,
CJ. Thomas, they had 8 players score evenly - but in single
digits. The knicks win 82 to 32.

Lakers vs.
Dallas - the was a defensive battle between two very good
teams. It came down to the wire as the Lakers pulled of the 34 to
33 win over Dallas. The Lakers came back from a 22 to 18 half
time deficit. This game came down to a jab step, power dribble to
the middle, by N. Josiah, who dropped it up over the rim and in for a
one point Laker lead with about 3 seconds left on the clock..
Dallas attempted a long, end of the court pass which was
deflected by a Laker player, right into the hands of another Dallas
player who go the last second shot off which just missed -bouncing off
the rim as the buzzer went off.
High Scorer (Lakers N. Josiah 10 Dallas

Charlotte vs.
Portland - what I thought was going to be a much closer game
than the score indicated, Portland was never able to recover from the
strong Charlotte run in both halves. Charlotte had a balanced
scoring attack with 6 out of 7 players scoring and 4 scoring
double figures. Portland had a strong attach by G. Obeinqony and
W. Bryant but not enough to overcome the various runs made by this good
Charlotte team.
High Scorer ( Charlotte L. Ellis 21 pts.
Portland W. Bryant 21 pts)

Timberswolves
vs. Bulls - the first overtime game of the season. This
was a great battle between two very good teams. It was a battle
of the big men. Inside play was strong on both sides.
However, the T-wolves was unable to stop the bulls inside attack by g.
Johnson. When it came down to who to foul, for the Timberwolves,
it turned out they fouled the wrong guy - Deke G. Everyone
in the crowd said together - "no not him" - Deke scored 7 of this 16
game points at the foul line. He also added a 3 pt.
shot. A few strong moves to the hoop by E. Means and DJ.
Hill added the key play and motivation to go the distance.
Portland wins 71 to 67 in overtime.

Dallas - Cleveland falls to a good Dallas team. However
Cleveland is improving each week. Although Cleveland has yet to
win a game, Cleveland's C.J. Thomas keeps working hard to help his
players and team move closer to their first win. Dallas wins 56
to 32.

Charlotte vs.
Lakers
- Charlotte continues a strong showing with a 67 to 25 win over
the Lakers. The Lakers just did not seem to be the team we have
seen over the past few weeks. Turnovers really hurt the Lakers as
Charlotte's two big men had a dunk and several easy lay ups off of back
court steals. Charlotte put on an impressive showing. But
don't count the Lakers out, they always come on strong toward the
payoffs time.
High scorers: (Charlotte - Danzel 16 pts. Lakers -

played game which went down to the wire with the Bulls pulling out a
tight 45 to 42 victory over Portland. An even second halve with
both teams scoring 15 points each. The difference appears to have
happen in the first halve as the Bulls out scored Portland 30 points to
27. However, Portland gave the Bulls all they could take all the
way down to the last second on the clock.

pts. Bulls Martin 11 pts.)

East vs. West Reunion Game -
the second annual E v W Reunion game proved to be the best so
far. With lots of scoring and little defense, the East pulls out
a the win with a 86 to 81 win. This game quickly became the "Can
anybody stick on Craig" game as former Knick and East leading scorer
Craig Spinner shot from 2 pts, 3 pts, lay ups and somebody said he shot
one from the kids play ground area. The West just could not stop
the high power scoring from Craig Spinner. Some one said they
even saw Craig selling popcorn in the stand on a fast break lay
up. Always a great game and lot of fun for the former BCWB
players to come back and entertain the crowd.
High scorer: ( East Craig Spinner 36 pts.
West D. Hawkins 24 pts.)

Portland vs.
Dallas
- another close game where Portland pull out a 3 point win over Dallas
with a 55 to 52 victory. Both teams played very even first
and second
halves with Portland scoring 27 points to Dallas 24 in the first halve
and a even 28 to 28 point score in the second halve. Both
Portland and
Dallas are very good teams that will surprise someone in the
playoffs.
We just may see this game again. Portland gets a team high 15
points
from Hamilton Woodfolk while Dallas gets 15 pts. each from both Shannon
Strange and Eddie Dorsey. Look out - this is the first time
Shannon
and Eddie, both from St. James High School, have played together this
year. Look for Dallas to get stronger as we close in on the
playoffs.

Lakers vs.
Cleveland -
the Lakers come back strong, from a disappointing loss last week to top
rank Charlotte, to hand Cleveland the loss in a 75 to 49 Laker
victory. The Lakers had scoring from 10 players. Cleveland
continues
to get a great effort from CJ. Thomas who scored 21 points to lead all
scorers. However, Cleveland only received additional
scoring from four
other players. But don't count Cleveland out yet, they are young
and
just may be building the team for the future. While the Lakers
showed
their championship effort seen in 2002. When the Lakers play, it
is always a good game to see - the
Lakers coaches put 110% effort in every game they play.

Bulls vs.
Knicks -
when ever you play the Bulls you need to be ready for a hard battle
against a no quit team. This game was no different. The
Bulls battled
and battled and battled - over and over and over - however they just
could not get over the battle back from the knicks in a game which came
down to the last seconds where the Knicks win 59 to 53. The
Knicks
came out strong with a 36 to 28 halve time lead. This proved to
be
just the space needed to hold of the Bulls second halve attack
where
the Bulls out scored the Knicks 28 to 23. Some balance scoring
between
the Knicks Malik (12 pts), Moe (13 pts) and Kavon (12 pts) hold off the
Bulls. Great game with a lot of action.

Lakers vs.
Knicks - over the years, the Knick and Lakers have always been a
good game of intense competition. This game was no
different. The knicks pulled out to a halve time lead of 22 to
19. But it was all the M. (Mokie) Ferguson show in the second
halve. Mokie took over scoring 17 of this game high 21 points in
the second halve. Only matched by the Lakers W. Roberts game high
21 points. The knick kept up the pace in the second halve out
scoring the Lakers 31 to 29. The knicks go on to win this
