Curtis J Phillips (3-3) overwhelms Shibby (0-6) 69-40

With three players missing for Curtis J. Phillips, one would've expected a slower pace but that wasn't the case Tuesday night as team CJP's fast break was out in full force in their rout over Shibby 69 to 40. Other than the first few minutes where the ball seemed to bounce the wrong way, CJP's five of Charles Morris, Daniel Sondreal, James Lawrence, Matt Donnelly, and Brett Goedeke put on quite the passing demonstration as almost every made basket came courtesy of an assist. Whether it was Shibby playing a man to man, 2-3 zone, or full court press defense team CJP had the simple and deadly response of team basketball. For CJP found themselves up by twenty at half and wouldn't find themselves up by no less than sixteen points in the second half. 

Game Quotes

"Got off to a slow start but once we started pushing the ball we really got in probably the best fundamental fast break, drive and dish basketball CJP has played in a long while. Even without subs it was probably the  most fun I've had playing in a while!" - CJP forward James Lawrence on the team's victory over Shibby

"Oh the game. Better without any subs especially Jim. No, I'm just kidding. We moved the ball really good. Started knocking down shots more in the end of the first half. Got a lot of post ups, inside and out. That is all." - CJP guard Matt Donnelly on the team's victory of Shibby
