How ’bout them Idiots!!! VI takes the Weekend Hoops Title!!!
By VI Administrator | May 17, 2010
Pat Cassidy put in the game-winning turn-around jumpshot to complete the 8 month journey to a Village Idiots Championship in the Manhattan Weekend Hoops League! They took down the Grizz 40-38!
Cassidy led the offensive efforts along with big shots coming down the stretch from Linc Isetta and Dan Creekmore. Stew and Chris Feeney also pumped in some timely jumpers to get the VI comeback rolling after they fell behind by 7 early in the 2nd-half.
The combination of Bob Bassman, Dan Knipscher, and swarming defensive efforts all around neutralized the Grizz’ 6′8″ Center and provided some huge stops to preserve the lead once it belonged to the VI! In the end, the well-rounded Idiots attack was too much to handle and although nagging injuries to a once 12-man roster allowed only 7 Idiots to suit up on Sunday, they still managed to keep enough gas in the tank to finish strong and earn the Championship Steak Dinner!!!
If the post-game adventures that were spearheaded by Stew Feeney and Knipscher are any indication of what’s to come, lets hope there are no families in the restaurant the night the VI chow down! A special thanks goes out to the folks at Southern Hospitality, Brother Jimmy’s and the Stumble Inn who all managed to keep up with a VI party that raged from high noon until the clock turned over to Monday!
Although this brings to an end the Village Idiots first season in the Weekend Hoops league, all you basketball fans don’t have to worry about getting your fix, because the Spring season of the Urban Pro League is seeing the VI battle their way back into playoff contention, and of course the original VI Hoops squad goes for their 4th title in the Town of Hempstead Summer League down at Baldwin Park!
