Player of the week:
This goes to Peter McGuire not a night league player that is on a roster, and does not go to New Trier but dropped 35 points against the second best team in the League. Hes a player that can shoot and also post you up down low if he wants.

Week 2 Results
#14 Milk was a Bad Choice 30 vs. #10 No sympathy 42
No sympathy improved their record to one and one with a win over Milk Was a Bad Choice. No sympathy, while lacking size inside made up for it tenfold with impressive perimeter shooting. Dan Hill, guarded by Michael Liberman, coming off a solid 18 point game last week was No Sympathy's main focus on D. They succeeded in shutting him down as the game never got to within ten after the half.
Standout:
The Lanky one himself Stu Haley shot the ball well and dropped 18 in a smooth win over a stuggling O-2 team (last weeks loss to #1 Bella Mafia)

#7 Magical Forest of Gluckman 24 vs. #6 Big Trouble in Little China 37
In the lone 7:45 game this week, Big Trouble in little China took advantage of the big gym with very solid 3-point shooting. BTLC focused on shutting down Chris Gluckman down low and then guarding Reifenberg around the perimeter. Big Trouble in Little China attributed this smooth victory to scooping up loose balls and rebounding the ball well. Another solid performance from Matt Reifenberg with 12 pts, staying in contention for a spot somewhere in the MVP rankings.
Standout:
Graham Wanders with a good game of 14 pts, nine of them coming from 3-point territory.

#9 TWAT 23 vs. #15 Code Green Lights INC. 30
Turnovers were the deciding factor in this battle in the main gym. CGL showed up blasting their pump up music and it seemed to have worked. They showed up big bringing talent from last year's sophomore team in Michael Quirke. He dropped dimes the whole game and contributed six points of his own. TWAT turned over the ball too many times to come out with the W. CGL was up 18-4 at half and TWAT started a comeback with 8 second half points from Nathan Seeley (ten in the game).
Standout:
Michael Quirke brought significant experience to the court this monday and we definitely seek to see more of this is future weeks. He had six points and seven assists.
#4 Night In the Bear Cage 33 vs. #16 Semaca 27
This game had the largest spread because we thought that they would play with Tilson their best play and have five men on the court. But this was not the case Bear Cage didnt have Tilson and only had 4 guys but still won the game. This shows that their team is one of the most athletic teams in the league by still winning games with only 4 players.
Standout:
Alex Johnson-Bice and Laackman both share the game ball. Both scoring 12 points and as proven by their 4v5 play that they can both hustle back and play great D
#23 Nuclear Octopi 26 vs. #21 Team Fujji 29
Team Fujji sneaking by the worst team in night league with a 3 point victory. Fujii also establishing themselves as one of the worst teams in the league. If either team is hoping to make the playoffs (which they wont) they need to start playing harder and as a team.
#1 Bella Mafia 30 vs. #3 How Much Jam Ya Got Man? 27
The best match-up of the year so far consisted of two championship caliber teams. A tight game through out with the largest lead of only 6 by How Much Jam. Going into the half Jam was up by four playing solid on defense, but the experience and clutch play capability of Tommy Blanchard led Bella Mafia to huge victory. If we see these match-up in the post season we will be in for a dandy.
Standout:
Tommy Blanchard was held to only a single basket in the first half, with solid D from How Much Jam Ya Got Man? Putting up ten points in the second half, and with no turnovers in that half as well that gets him the game ball. Not only driving on his opponents but showing the league that he is a shooter as well.
#11 Sacson Five 25 vs. #12 Off in the Woods 27
Sacson 5 came onto the court confident as always dawning their traditional short shorts. The Sacson 5 would have loved to beat Off in Woods so badly but it just wouldn't come. Off in the Woods' center Sam Adler kept Sacson 5 busy on D, leaving a strong supporting cast to rack up uncontested shots. The game was close though, coming down two a one point margin. Zach Mandell was thrown out before the end of regulation for abusive language to the ref. Jacob Laser made two free throws to put it into OT, but consistent shooting got the W for Off in the Woods.
Standout:
A player whos name isnt heard around the league, Lucas Pluta get the player of the game award. Putting up 14 points accounting for about half of his teams points and was always the teams leading scorer in the first game.
#22 Big D Legends 44 vs. #2 Blazers Era 46
How is Blazers Era #2 and only beat one of the worst teams in Night League by 2? Well a Loyola student Peter McGuire played for Big D and had over 35 points this game using his size and strength to over power the opposing team. But the depth of Blazers Era helped them get their first win of the season with a bye the first week. Allen Beyer making a buzzer beater to win the game has gotten some talk around the league this week.
Standout:
Allen and Peter share this weeks player of the game award. Yes Allen had 18 points and the winning shot, but Peter did score 30+ points and is Big Ds only decent player. Allen showed promise by taking it to the hoop while mainaining a good stroke from the outside.
#18 John Scheyer's Cousins Friends 32 vs. #5 the KEG 44
The KEG did not cover the spread but however they were in control majority of the game. JSCFs may be a little under rated this year but the KEG proving themselves as an elite team. With a tough game next week against #2 Blazers era is their only tough game on the schedule this season. If they pull off a win it will prove to the league that the KEG is here to win.
Standout:
Scott Schoder gets the player of the game award leading the team with 18 points and for sure getting a double double. Scotts got the inside game, but he will need to earn some respect with his mid range and outside shot in order to take home a MVP award this season.
#13 Big G All Day 33 vs. #8 Buffucers 32
A hardfought game, one of two to come down to a one point margin. Both teams stuck to a very aggressive game plan, not settling for outside shots. In what was possibly this weeks biggest upset, Big G All Day rebounded the ball well against an athletic Buffucers squad. Big G all Day guard Michael Phillips made a tough drive to the rack on the last play to score the final two points, followed by a last ditch half courter from Patick Callahan. Solid performance from Mick Parks with 18 points, making him a very legitimate contender for Night League's MVP rankings.
Standout:
Michael Phillips with 15 points, and most notably the game winning shot to put them up by two.
