Yesterday, Max's All Stars won the Spring Hoops Showdown Championship by winning three games at Peter Minuit Playground on Park Avenue between 108th & 109th Street. This marks a repeat championship for Max's All Stars after they won the Fall Hoops Showdown in October 2013 at Hooperstown. In the first game yesterday, Max's All Stars defeated the Gray Team by a final score of 53-34. Then in the semifinals, they defeated the Blue Team (who featured Nick Smith and some of Upstate NY's finest) by a final score of 37-30 - setting up a championship game rematch against the Black Team. Just like in the Fall though, Max's All Stars dominated in the final game - winning by a score of 52-39 to claim the $1500 prize and repeat as champions. Branden Gibson, Corey Orgias, Doug Herring, Kevin Pegram, Marvin Billups Jr, Rob Thomas, Shaun Diaz and Stefan Bonneau (who was named MVP for his efforts) all played hard and worked together throughout the day to secure the championship for Max's All Stars. Also, thank you to all the friends and family who came to support the team - it was a great day for Max's All Stars and we are grateful that you were all part of it!
