Max's All Stars reach 14th Annual Full Court Charity Challenge Corporate Division Semifinals

On the weekend of March 16th, Max's All Stars traveled to Boston and competed in the 14th Annual Full Court Charity Challenge, reaching the Corporate Division semifinals and finishing with a 4-1 record. The team won their pool easily with three double-digit wins against Cross Insurance (46-36), Summit Partners (45-35) and Ernst & Young (33-11). In the quarterfinals, Max's All Stars had to fight for a win against Instinet. Down three points in the final minute, Derrick Stanton hit a clutch game-tying trey to send the game to overtime, but that wasn't enough and a second OT was needed. Due to time constraints, the second overtime was sudden death and Dave Seagers won the game by forcing a turnover and taking it in for the winning bucket. Final score: 42-40. In the semifinals, Max's All Stars fell against the defending Corporate Division champions, Shire (who featured two members of the Villanova Wildcats 2009 Final Four team - Frank Tchuisi and Shane Clark) by a final score of 33-19. Despite falling short of the championship, Beijon Séduisant Warrington, Branden Gibson, Corey Orgias, Super Dave, Derrick, Patrick James, Reed Morgan and Troy Whittington all played hard and represented Max's All Stars well, continuing a tradition started by Hofstra Club Basketball in 2009. They deserve a lot of credit for their efforts.
It should be noted that all funds went to the Nashoba Learning Group and The Lurie Center for Autism, charitable organizations which provide education, therapy and other services to individuals afflicted with autism. Max's All Stars is proud to contribute in some way to such an important cause.
Also, shout out to Kevin Young and Kevin Johnson for making the trip and supporting the team!
