VI Hoops Steamrolls Their Way to a Championship!
By VI Administrator | February 11, 2010
The Blue and White VI Hoops Jerseys formed a long and imposing line on the sidelines of the Julia Richman Complex last Saturday… and the depth of the Village Idiots made a big difference as they made easy work of two opponents in 3 hours to claim the 2010 Fall/Winter Championship in the Weekend Hoops League!
Stacked with two full squads of talent on one team, the Idiots were able to stay fresh all afternoon long and had too many weapons for the Hawks, in the Semi-Finals, and the Grizz, in the Finals, to handle. Shedding the uncertainty of 8 fruitless seasons under the Dime Hoops moniker, the same old players were finally afforded the taste of victory that often comes with wearing the Village Idiots jersey! Ironically, it was the founder of the original Dime Hoops squad, Pat Cassidy, who came through for the VI down the stretch and hit many big shots to put each game out of reach.
In no way was this a one man show for the Idiots, as all 10 players scored in the final game and the constant rotation of fresh legs onto the court forced many turnovers and controlled the boards. By the time Cassidy put the final nail in the Grizz’s coffin, they were completely out of gas.
Even more impressive was the post-game showing at Southern Hospitality, with 14 pitchers and a few rounds of shots going down before the group broke for Saturday night’s activities!
With the upcoming holiday weekend, the Idiots are in jeopardy of opening the Spring season with a forfeit as many players will be out of town… if they can gather a team, they face a Grizz team eager for revenge on Saturday at 1pm at Julia Richman.
