Max's All Stars win Fall 2016 92Y A-Division Championship

Last night, Max's All Stars won the Fall 2016 92Y A-Division Championship over DiVerse by a final score of 67-49. It was total domination from start to finish. Branden Gibson, John Simmons, Marvin Billups Jr, Patrick James, Shereef Taylor, Spencer Smith and Troy Whittington stayed focused, determined and motivated throughout to earn this victory. Corey Orgias also attended to claim this long overdue and well deserved title. This team overcame a lot to win this championship. Doug Herring (who was easily the Fall 2016 regular season MVP) left right before the playoffs to play professional basketball in Uruguay for Defensor Sporting Club. He was a huge part of our success this season and we are extremely grateful. Thank you to Herman Billups and Kevin Major for filling in at times this season as well. Kevin was part of our previous 92Y teams in 2011-12 and this championship is for him and all the guys who played with us during that period of time (Angel Gonzalez, David Seagers, Ronnie Worthen Jr among them). Thank you to all the players this season for making this dream a reality. These guys did not care about individual statistics or accolades - all that mattered was winning. They played hard and worked together with one goal in mind. Different guys stepped up throughout the season and everyone contributed. Thank you to all our supporters, everyone who came to watch our games and cheer us on - you guys are the best! Max's All Stars ended the season on a five-game winning streak and finished with an 8-2 overall record.
