Idiots Set to Defend Title After Easy Time in the Semis

The Idiots controlled most of the 1st quarter and were up 9-5 after one.  The offense got more comfortable in the 2nd quarter but division foe Holy Name kept pace.  H.N. hit a big three-pointer at the end of the half to steal some momemtum and cut the Idiot's first half lead to 5.

 

Holy Name came out scoring two straight baskets in the 2nd half to trim the lead to 1. The enthusiastic scorekeeper, (first name Jonathon, last name Davis) and V.I. supafan did not look happy.  Frank the Tank Kelly, who had the 5 prettiest points of the night, hit a big three pointer to spark up the Idiots to build their lead back up to 10 at the end of the 3rd quarter.  Point guard Danny "I talk all game" Dougherty (8 pts, 6 rebs) ran the V.I. inbound play to perfection once again hitting a big three early in the 4th quarter.  More solid V.I. defense and more running help put Holy Name away until they gave up with a minute to play.

The Idiots will take on the Long Beach team, the top seed from the other division, on Wednesday night(8/23) at 7:30pm down at Baldwin Park.  The Village Idiots are hoping its faithful fans will come down and support the team in the finals...  And that you all join us in the post-game celebration!
