Idiots Convincing Again and Move to 4-0

July 16, 2007

With the Monday Night Division of the Town of Hempstead Summer League only having 4 teams this summer, the Village Idiots will be facing each member of the division twice. The first rematch was against Team Rack'em, who the V.I. crushed back on June 18th, 59-21.

Rack'em came into the game looking like the month of experience paid off a bit, as they managed to move the ball against the Idiots' zone and toss in some short jumpers to keep the game close in the first quarter, with the edge going to the V.I. by the relatively small margin of 18-11 after one. However, once the duo of Tim Byrnes and Fred Paul joined Tom Weber on the court, the defensive intensity was turned up a notch and the Idiots only gave up a single 3-point basket in the 2nd. Meanwhile, on the other end of the court, Tom Casal and Greg Harrison took advantage of some size mismatches and kept the offense on track to stretch the halftime lead to 13 points, 27-14.

In the second half, Rack'em attempted to adjust for the mismatches, but the Village Idiots just have too many weapons. This time it was Greg Gormsen knocking down shot after shot to push the game into the blow-out phase. Combining with a continued attack from Harrison and Casal, the V.I. put 20 on the board in the 3rd quarter to open up the game at 47-20.

With the 4th quarter becoming a formality, the Idiots cleaned things up and cashed in their 4th straight win of the season with a final tally of 60-25!

Tommy "Real Estate" Casal marked his territory with 18 points and 7 rebounds, with Harrison adding 14 and 13, and the Gormpah totalled 14 points and 11 rebounds of his own.  For the second straight week, Weber led the team in distribution with 5 assists.
