Week 5
by Nathan Apolonio/ @NDAx92
We are now passed the midway point of the season, with all teams making the playoffs the big question is “Who lands where?” UKnow V.2 and the Pantera Legends are battling it out for the #1 seed while the eventual loser of the race to the #1 seed will have to battle it out with the Dirty Homies for the #2 seed. The team that is indeed flying under the radar is the Justice League they sit at 3-1 in the #4 spot after a Week 5 bye, and pretty much control their own destiny as to where they will end up after all Week 7 games are played.
Pantera Legends vs. Prospectz
DIVISION 3
With their Week 5 71 – 62 win over the Prospectz, the Pantera Legends move to the #1 spot in the division with UKnow 2.0’s loss. Since their week 3 loss to UKnow 2.0 the Legends have been on a tear. Last Season’s MVP of the Division Dylan Liebelt has finally regained his swagger and is leading the way for this team, Anthony Barajas and Alvin Trinh are holding the front court down, while Richard Hak is leading the division in assists for the 2nd straight season. The Legends problem has and will be the play of their bench.

DIVISION 3
The Dirty Homies take care of Brea Jr. 7:30 with a 52 – 36 Week 5 win. Since the addition of Charlie Hinojosa the Dirty Homies have been the third hottest team in the league with a 3-1 record. Hinojosa is an atheltic big man who can run the floor and makes a perfect target for PG Jesse Jimenez to hit on a fast break.
Charlie Hinojosa led all Dirty Homie scorers with 15 points and 8 rebounds. Hinojosa. Jesse Jimenez finished with 10 points and 8 rebounds. Martin was the third leading scorer with 9 points and 2 rebounds. Jesus “Chuy” Contreras rounded out all scorers with 6 points and a game high 16 rebounds.

Prospectz vs. The Bankers
DIVISION 3
The Prospectz take care of the Bankers 64 – 57, in a heated showdown with in my opinion the Divisions M.I.P Joel Torres garnering POTW honors for Week 5.

UKnow V.2 vs. Young Money
DIVISION 3
Young Money capitalizes on UKnow 2.0’s lethargic effort and come away with a 62 – 50 win. Robel Kevorkian had his best game after jumping ship mid way through the season. Looks like things are finally working out for Young Money.

Bombers vs. Primetime
DIVISION 3
With the return of Kevin Lim to the line-up, Primetime defeats the Bombers by a score of 67 – 54. Kevin Lim is one of the better shooters in the Division, he is pretty much automatic from 3-point range, if the league decides to hold a 3-point contest in the near-future Lim deserves an invite.
Jimmy G. led all Bomber scorers with 19 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist. Blue assisted Jimmy G. and finished with 9 points and 3 rebounds. Dre rounded out the scoring trio with 8 points and 9 rebounds.
Kevin Lim led the way for the Primetime, Lim finished with 22 points, and 4 rebounds, on 7/10 shooting from 3-point range. James assisted Lim with the scoring load and finished with 11 points and 3 rebounds, Jr. Dizon rounded out the scoring load with 9 points and 1 rebound.
