Max's All Stars fall in Gun Hill semifinals

Max's All Stars fell to Tilden in the Gun Hill Classic Open Division semifinals by a final score of 72-66. Branden Gibson, Carlos Valdez, Corey Orgias, Kirk Williams, Marvin Billups Jr, Patrick James and Stefan Bonneau battled all game long, but could not overcome some atrocious officiating. The team settled for a few too many jumpshots, did not attack the basket enough at times and missed quite a few layups. Also, rebounding was an issue for most of the game. However, the team played hard all season long and deserves a lot of credit for their efforts and contributions. Even though Derrick Stanton, David Seagers, Kevin Young and Tim Morris missed this playoff game, they were very valuable members of the team this summer. Also, it is important to recognize guys like Darryl "Truck" Bryant and Kevin Major who came through to make guest appearances during the season. All of these men have represented Max's All Stars the right way and earned respect around the NYC basketball community.
Also, shout out to Carl Gibson for all his support on the sidelines this summer. He was a great deal of help as a coach and mentor. His guidance and leadership was invaluable.
