LBL got off to a great start this weekend with 3 close games. The Manor Mavericks took on the Village Vipers, winning 35-34. The Vipers were undermanned, missing three of their best four players, but they managed to keep it tight throughout. With controversy surrounding the league rules around end game situations, the executive board will have to reevaluate some rules.
Week one of LBL was low scoring, and this game was no exception. Aidan Roy led the orioles with 17 points, underperforming his usually standards, but nevertheless a great performance. He would love to get those shooting splits up, but for now the Orioles have to be happy with the result.
The Stuyvesant Slingers did not enter today's game with high expectations from the experts, as they were unanimously last in the preseason power rankings. They put up a good fight today, however, on the back of temporary replacement Dimitris Markopolous' shooting performance. With elite shooting from Ethan Glassman, combined with good performances from Aaron Bard and Julian Epstein the Warriors managed to pull out the win.
