Another Defeat at Pearl Harbor and Forte helps Certified Bank on Black Wall Street

The first men’s game had team BMF taking on Pearl Harbor. Both teams were stacked with lots of talent making it an exciting game for the fans to enjoy. BMF’s Gary Irving and Reggie were a force to be reckoned with using no-look passes to deep threes finding the bottom of the nylon. BMF used tight defense and good team work to get them ahead by 10 early in the first half. Rich Soil Monstars’ star Daryl “Showtime” Hill, was in the stands supporting BMF player Eugene Lawrence who plays with Hill at St. John’s University. Corey Fischer, the high school junior from Brooklyn, did a great job keeping Pearl Harbor alive driving to the basket and shooting missiles. Despite his strong effort and 18 points it wasn’t enough to catch up to BMF who took the win 77 to 68. Gary Irving ended the game with 18 points and 4 assists and teammate Tommie Eddie has 22 points.
As game two kicked off, Lil Cease of Junior Mafia was in the stands to watch Black Wall Street take on Certified. New to the Certified team is Joseph Forte, former UNC star. He joins Will Power and Genesis to make a strong squad for Certified who were 2-0 before their embarrassing loss to Terror Squad just yesterday. Black Wall Street isn’t short on talent either, with General Electric, Corey O and the “Original” Showtime shaking things up. Certified came out strong, utilizing all of their talent by using almost all their bench players in the first half. But Black Wall Street retaliated with a nice dunk by General Electric and the game was tied at the half. As the second half began Black Wall Street pulled away early but they didn’t keep the lead for long as it was Forte – all night all day. Black Wall Street tried to catch up but couldn’t shut down Forte who had a crazy finger roll that gave Certified to win 64 to 60.
