Orchid (Wooden) 75 – Sapphire (Pickett) 52 Sunday, March 8, 2026 | Oneonta Armory
Orchid (Wooden) kicked off the Spring 2026 season with a commanding 75-52 victory over Sapphire (Pickett) in the opening game of the day. The Wooden crew built a 34-28 halftime lead and then poured on 41 second-half points while limiting Sapphire to just 24, turning a tight early battle into a decisive 23-point win.
Game Flow
The first half stayed competitive, with both sides exchanging runs and Orchid holding a slim six-point advantage at the break. After halftime, Orchid took complete control. They ramped up defensive pressure, crashed the glass relentlessly, and converted turnovers into easy transition buckets. The second-half explosion (41-24) showcased their depth and adjustments, pulling away comfortably.
Standout Performances
Kaiden Legree (#10 – Orchid) GAME HIGH: 34 points
13-of-21 FG (62%)
8-of-12 from three (67%)
9 rebounds, 2 steals
Game Score: 23.4 | Efficiency: 33 Legree put on an absolute shooting clinic — his eight threes were the difference-maker and instantly put him at the top of the early B League scoring race. A dominant, MVP-caliber performance.
Camden Hayes (Sapphire) 19 points, 19 rebounds (monster double-double)
8-of-22 FG
5 assists, 2 steals, 1 block
Efficiency: 28 Hayes was Sapphire’s clear alpha and carried the load all game long. He dominated the boards and did everything possible to keep his team competitive.

Roster Notes & Context
Sapphire played shorthanded, missing several regular players for the opener. Cam Hayes (normally with Team Blendos (Black)) subbed in for this game only. Because Team Blendos had no scheduled Week 1 game, Cam was temporarily signed to Sapphire to help fill the roster. He delivered a huge effort in the sub role before being released after the game and officially signed back to Team Blendos (Black) for the rest of the season.
Orchid pulled off the win without Graham Wooden, their perennial Offensive Player of the Year candidate and one of the most explosive scorers in Blendos history (multiple 30+ point games and a 60-point outburst in prior seasons). Graham plays in both the A League and B League this spring. He missed the morning B League slate but showed up later in the day to compete in an A League game. That means Orchid just proved they have championship-level depth even when their biggest star is absent — a scary proposition for the rest of the B League once Graham suits up full-time.
Early Standings Impact
Orchid (Wooden) starts the season 1-0 and immediately looks like a title favorite. Sapphire (Pickett) drops to 0-1 but they’ll be dangerous once they get their full roster back and clean up the shooting.
This was the perfect tone-setter for Spring 2026 B League. Depth, shooting, and second-half adjustments won the day for Orchid. Can’t wait to see what happens when Graham Wooden joins the party and when Sapphire gets healthy.
Orchid (Wooden) 69 – Green 63 Sunday, March 8, 2026 | Oneonta Armory
Orchid (Wooden) completed a perfect opening-day doubleheader, grinding out a 69-63 victory over Green to finish 2-0 on the day. The Wooden squad built a commanding 36-26 halftime lead and held on in the second half despite Green’s 37-point comeback push, securing a hard-fought 6-point win.
Game Flow
Orchid controlled the first half with strong interior play and timely three-point shooting to take a 10-point lead into the break. Green responded aggressively after halftime, outscoring Orchid 37-33 and making it a one-possession game late. But Orchid’s defense tightened when it mattered most, forcing turnovers and converting enough stops into points to seal the victory.
Standout Performances
Matt Serrao – Orchid GAME HIGH: 32 points
12-of-19 FG (63%)
8-of-14 from three (57%)
6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal
Game Score: 24.5 | Efficiency: 32 Serrao caught fire from beyond the arc and attacked efficiently inside — an absolute takeover performance that carried Orchid through the second-half pressure.
Max Eisel (#34 – Green) 24 points, 21 rebounds (monster double-double)
10-of-20 FG (50%)
4-of-7 FT (57%)
Efficiency: 29 Eisel was Green’s alpha all game, dominating the glass and nearly willing his team back from double digits down. One of the strongest individual efforts of the day.
Other Key Contributors Orchid (Wooden)
George Carmody: 13 pts / 5 reb / 2 stl / 1 blk — steady and efficient

Roster Notes & Context
Going 2-0 on opening day without their biggest star proves the incredible depth on this roster — a terrifying sign for the rest of the B League once Graham joins the lineup full-time.
Green dropped to 0-1 in their season opener but showed real fight in the second half. This was the first-ever game in any Blendos league for Devin Baker, Max Eisel and Skylar MacIntyre — and Eisel wasted no time making his presence felt with a 24-point, 21-rebound debut that immediately turned heads.
Early Standings Impact
Orchid (Wooden) sits at 2-0 and looks like the clear early favorite in B League after sweeping their doubleheader. Green falls to 0-1 but has a proven leader in Max Eisel (plus a solid debut from Skylar MacIntyre) — they’ll be competitive once they clean up the turnovers.
This was the perfect tone-setter for Spring 2026 B League. Depth, clutch defense, and big performances from role players won the day for Orchid. Can’t wait to see what happens when Graham Wooden joins the party in Week 2.

Game Flow
Carolina Blue controlled the game from the opening tip. They established a double-digit lead by halftime through strong interior scoring and transition play, then kept the pressure on after the break. Defensive stops and efficient ball movement turned into easy baskets, never allowing Poolbrook to mount a serious comeback.
Standout Performances
Trevor Huntsman – Carolina Blue GAME HIGH: 30 points
12-of-27 FG (44%)
3-of-9 from three (33%)
10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks

Jonathan Codrington – Carolina Blue 18 points, 21 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks
9-of-16 FG (56%)
Efficiency: 42 Codrington delivered one of the most complete stat lines of the entire opening day, dominating the glass and anchoring the defense on both ends, and he was late to the start of the game.

Purple opened their Spring 2026 season with a commanding 83-55 victory over Oneonta Job Corps Academy (White), cruising to a decisive 28-point win. The Purple squad jumped out early and never looked back, controlling the game from start to finish with elite efficiency and team play.
Game Flow
Purple set the tone right from the opening tip with sharp ball movement and physical defense.

Roster Notes & Context
Jo Annan (who suited up for Orange and posted 12 pts / 8 reb / 7 ast) is the Head Coach of the SUNY Delhi Men’s basketball team. A majority of the J & D Wagon Wheel roster are his current college players — creating a unique “coach vs. his own players” matchup.
Orange was led by Team Captain Jesse Woodard, a longtime Blendos veteran and one of the oldest players in the league, who has taken on a full player/coach/general manager role in his quest to secure multiple league championships. On the opposing side, Xavier Beers (J & D Wagon Wheel) is also making a strong push for GM of the Year after personally recruiting the SUNY Delhi players to build their roster. Orange countered with serious firepower of their own, featuring several players with semi-pro experience including Blendos newcomer Jonny Marsh and veterans Xavier Hill & Jo Annan. The Bangel Brothers also recently played at Hartwick College, adding even more college-level talent to the mix. The SUNY Delhi athletes flashed their pedigree early but couldn’t sustain it against Orange’s depth and adjustments.
Early Standings Impact
Orange starts the A League season 1-0 and looks like a legitimate contender after this controlled win. J & D Wagon Wheel falls to 0-1 but has the talent to bounce back quickly once they find their rhythm.
This matchup wrapped up Week 1 A League action on a high note — college talent vs. veteran Blendos experience with added coaching and GM storylines — and sets up an exciting spring for both squads.
Pink 90 – Royal Blue (Decker) 44 Sunday, March 8, 2026 | Oneonta Armory
Pink delivered one of the most dominant performances of opening day, blowing out Royal Blue (Decker) 90-44 in a 46-point rout. This game came after a break for two A League matchups and served as the second-to-last game of the night. Pink jumped out to a commanding 42-20 halftime lead and continued the onslaught in the second half, outscoring Royal Blue 48-24 to cruise to an easy victory.
Game Flow
Pink controlled every aspect of the game from the opening tip. They established dominance inside, from beyond the arc, and on the glass, creating easy transition opportunities and forcing Royal Blue into tough shots. The second half was even more lopsided as Pink continued to push the pace and smother Royal Blue defensively.
Standout Performances
Alex Woeppel – Pink GAME HIGH: 36 points
15-of-23 FG (65%)
5-of-10 from three (50%)
17 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks

Roster Notes & Context
Quan Robinson subbed in for Royal Blue (Decker) in their second game of the day and is not normally on the roster. He delivered a massive 17 & 16 & 4 performance in the sub role. Royal Blue battled through two full games in one day and showed fight in the second half of this finale, but the early deficit proved costly. Red looked sharp in their lone Week 1 matchup and finished the night strong.
Early Standings Impact
Red starts the season 1-0 and looks like a well-balanced squad ready to compete. Royal Blue drops to 0-2 after a tough opening-day doubleheader but has pieces that can build on.
This hard-fought closer wrapped up a full and exciting Week 1 slate at the Armory and sets the stage for an action-packed Spring 2026 B League.

Purple is the most efficient overall (53% FG, 19 AST, 104 EFF).
Rebounding & Defense
Carolina Blue dominated the glass with 51 rebounds in one game (league-high single-game mark).
Orchid leads in total steals (17) and steals per game (8.5).
Pink leads in blocks (7) and blocks per game (7.0).
Shooting Efficiency
Best FG%: Purple (53%), Carolina Blue (46%), Green (42%).
Best 3PT volume: Orchid (10.5 3PM per game on 30% shooting).
Worst shooting: Poolbrook (26% FG), Sapphire (26% FG), Royal Blue (32% FG).
Turnover & Pace Issues
Royal Blue committed a brutal 37 turnovers across two games — the biggest early red flag.
Red also turned it over 22 times in their lone game.
Early-Season Tier Breakdown
Tier 1 – Championship Contenders Orchid (Wooden), Pink, Carolina Blue, Purple — already pulling away statistically. Orchid’s 2-0 start without Graham Wooden is the biggest story of the week.
Tier 2 – Playoff Locks / Dangerous Red, MAMCO (Grey), Green — solid showings and ready to climb.
Tier 3 – Must Improve Quickly All 0-1 and 0-2 teams (especially Royal Blue, Poolbrook, and Sapphire). Shooting and turnovers are the common killers.
Tier 4 – Waiting to Debut Team Blendos (Black) at 0-0 — will shake up the standings once they play.
Week 1 proved exactly what we expect from B League: star-driven offense (Pink, Orchid), rebounding wars (Carolina Blue), and early separation. The top four teams are already operating at a different level, while the bottom half must tighten up fast before Week 2 (March 15) brings full-strength lineups and more doubleheaders.
Biggest Surprises: Orchid going 2-0 shorthanded + Pink’s 90-point explosion. Biggest Concern: Royal Blue’s 0-2 collapse and high turnover rate.
Ready for Week 2 — Graham Wooden joins Orchid, Team Blendos debuts, and several 0-1 teams hunt their first win. The race is on!

Early MVP Candidates & Storylines
Alex Woeppel (Pink) – Clear frontrunner after a 36-17 masterpiece in a 46-point blowout.
Kaiden Legree (Orchid) – 34 points on elite efficiency in Game 1; Orchid went 2-0 without Graham Wooden — Legree is the early star.
Matt Serrao (Orchid) – Back-to-back strong games; 32-point explosion in Game 2.
Jonathan Codrington (Carolina Blue) – 18-21-6-3-3 line = most complete performance.
Biggest Surprises
Pink’s 90-point explosion and defensive dominance (9 STL + 7 BLK).
Orchid’s 2-0 start and league-leading rebounding/steals without Graham Wooden.
Max Eisel strong debut for Green
Areas of Concern
Royal Blue (Decker) players: high turnovers and low efficiency across two games.
Several 0-1 teams (Poolbrook, Sapphire, Bello/Richfield) shot under 37% from the field.
Week 1 player stats paint a clear picture: depth + efficiency wins in B League. Pink and Orchid are operating at an elite level already, while the bottom half must improve shooting and ball security immediately. A League Standings Context (6 teams total)
Only four teams played in Week 1. The Red Team and White Team both sat out entirely and sit at 0-0. Both rosters are split with current SUNY Oneonta Men’s Basketball players, bringing legitimate college talent that will shake up the standings once they debut.
Current Records
1-0: Gold, Orange
0-1: Bello Electric (Navy), J & D Wagon Wheel (Blue)
0-0: Red Team, White Team (SUNY Oneonta players)

Early MVP Candidates & Storylines
Graham Wooden (Gold) – Instant frontrunner. 36 points with perfect free-throw shooting and 39 EFF in his only A League game of the day (after missing both B League games). Perennial POY candidate is already in MVP form.
Danny Njoku (Bello Electric) – 32 points in a near-upset. The other half of the elite scoring duo.
Xavier Hill (Orange) – 25 points on ridiculous 83% shooting. Veteran semi-pro talent set the tone for Orange’s win.
Evan Lane (Gold) – Double-double (22 & 14) and high efficiency.
Roster Notes The Red Team and White Team (both 0-0) are split with current SUNY Oneonta Men’s Basketball players — college talent that will immediately impact the league once they debut. This mirrors the SUNY Delhi-heavy J&D Wagon Wheel roster we already saw in action.
Biggest Surprises
Graham Wooden’s 36-point explosion on perfect free throws.
Xavier Hill’s 83% shooting efficiency.
The unique “coach vs. players” dynamic with Jo Annan (SUNY Delhi Head Coach) suiting up for Orange against many of his own college athletes.
Areas to Watch
J&D Wagon Wheel (mostly current SUNY Delhi players) shot only 38% as a team with just 4 assists — early adjustment needed.
Official Record-Based Standings (Week 1)
Gold — 1-0 (86 total pts, 86.0 PPG, 106 EFF, 34.0 RPG)
Orange — 1-0 (62 total pts, 62.0 PPG, 54 EFF, 28.0 RPG)
Bello Electric (Navy) — 0-1 (79 total pts, 79.0 PPG, 85 EFF, 33.0 RPG)
4. J & D Wagon Wheel (Blue) — 0-1 (53 total pts, 53.0 PPG, 42 EFF, 25.0 RPG)
5. Red Team
6. White Team
Both rosters are split with current SUNY Oneonta Men’s Basketball players — college talent that will immediately impact the league once they play.
League Averages (across the 2 games played): 70.0 PPG | 43% FG | 33% 3PT | 30.0 RPG | 3.8 SPG | 1.0 BPG | 51.46% eFG% | 53.80% TS%
Key Team Statistical Leaders & Breakdowns
Offensive Firepower
Gold leads the league in nearly every major category: 86.0 PPG, 106 EFF, 45% FG, 36% 3PT, 22.0 APG, and 80% FT.
Bello Electric was the only other high-scoring team (79.0 PPG) but shot just 42% FG and committed 10 turnovers.
Rebounding & Defense
Gold dominated the glass (34.0 RPG) and forced 10 turnovers in their lone game.
Orange controlled the second quarter (33-20) and led in steals (2.0 SPG) while holding J&D to just 4 assists.
Shooting Efficiency
Best FG%: Gold (45%), Orange (44%)
Best 3PT%: Gold (36% on 39 attempts)
Worst shooting: J&D Wagon Wheel (38% FG, 29% 3PT) —
Turnover & Pace Issues
Orange committed a league-high 15 turnovers in one game.
J&D Wagon Wheel had only 4 assists as a team — a major red flag for ball movement.
Early-Season Tier Breakdown
Tier 1 – Championship Contenders Gold & Orange — both 1-0 with strong efficiency and depth. Gold’s 86-point explosion and Orange’s second-quarter dominance set them apart early.
Tier 2 – Competitive but Need Adjustments Bello Electric (near-upset loss with Danny Njoku dropping 32) and J&D Wagon Wheel (SUNY Delhi-heavy roster that flashed potential but shot poorly).
Tier 3 – The Wild Cards (0-0) Red Team & White Team — both split with current SUNY Oneonta Men’s Basketball players. These two squads have not played yet but carry legitimate college talent that could immediately challenge the top teams once they debut.
Week 1 Storylines & Takeaways
Gold looked like the most complete team statistically (highest EFF, assists, rebounding, and shooting splits) — Graham Wooden’s 36-point masterclass anchored everything.
Orange showed veteran poise in the second half and depth with semi-pro talent (Xavier Hill, Jonny Marsh, Jo Annan).
Bello Electric proved they belong with a high-scoring loss — Danny Njoku and Zyeir Lawrence (21-11-7) nearly stole the game.
J&D Wagon Wheel brought college athleticism (mostly SUNY Delhi players) but struggled with assists and efficiency.
The two unplayed teams (Red & White with SUNY Oneonta players) are the biggest “wait-and-see” factor — their debut in Week 2 will instantly reshape the standings and playoff picture.
Week 1 was a small sample (only two games), but the separation is already clear: Gold and Orange are operating at an elite level, while Bello and J&D need quick improvements in shooting and ball movement. The arrival of the SUNY Oneonta-loaded Red and White teams next week makes A League extremely deep and competitive for the rest of the spring.
Blendos Spring 2026 – Week 2 Deeper Analysis & Predicted Spreads
Sunday, March 15, 2026 | Oneonta Armory
Here is a full pre-game breakdown for every Week 2 matchup, built strictly from Week 1 box scores, efficiency rankings, rebounding margins, shooting splits, turnover rates, and roster context. I’ve removed all direct player-vs-player head-to-heads and focused instead on how each team’s standout performers and statistical strengths from Week 1 will translate into advantages (or weaknesses) in key areas like scoring efficiency, rebounding, playmaking, and defense.
B League Week 2
2:00 PM – Team Blendos (Black) vs Pink
Pink enters with the most explosive Week 1 performance in the league (90 PPG, 121 EFF, 55 REB, 9 STL, 7 BLK). Their interior dominance and transition game were overwhelming. Team Blendos (Black) is debuting cold with no film or rhythm.
Key Edge: Pink’s Week 1 rebounding and defensive intensity (especially blocks and steals) will create constant second-chance and fast-break opportunities. Blendos will struggle to match that physicality early.
Prediction: Pink cruises in a high-scoring affair.
Spread: Pink -18 (Pink 88, Blendos 70)
3:00 PM – Team Blendos (Black) vs Royal Blue (Decker)
Royal Blue is 0-2 with 37 total turnovers and just 49.0 PPG — the weakest statistical output in B League. Their rebounding was decent (63 total REB), but inefficiency and mistakes killed them. Team Blendos is fresh but unproven.
Key Edge: Royal Blue’s experience and ability to clean the glass (even in losses) should give them control of the tempo against a debut squad. Turnovers will still be an issue, but not as fatal against an untested opponent.
Prediction: Royal Blue gets their first win in a low-scoring, sloppy game.
Spread: Royal Blue -4 (Royal Blue 62, Blendos 58)
4:00 PM – Green vs MAMCO (Grey)
Green showed real fight in their debut (63 pts, strong second-half comeback) with excellent rebounding (41 REB) and a standout interior presence. MAMCO won a 56-54 grinder thanks to clutch free-throw shooting and late execution.
Key Edge: Green’s Week 1 rebounding edge and ability to generate extra possessions will wear down MAMCO in the paint. MAMCO’s efficiency was solid but not dominant.
Prediction: Green takes a close, physical contest.
Spread: Green -3 (Green 64, MAMCO 61)
5:00 PM – Carolina Blue vs Red
Carolina Blue dominated Week 1 on the glass (51 REB) and defensively (7 STL + 6 BLK), looking like one of the most complete teams. Red closed the night strong (77 pts) but committed 22 turnovers and struggled to protect the ball.
Key Edge: Carolina Blue’s rebounding and defensive intensity from Week 1 will force Red into difficult shots and limit second-chance opportunities. Red’s scoring punch is real, but their ball-security issues are a major liability.
Prediction: Carolina Blue pulls away comfortably.
Spread: Carolina Blue -11 (Carolina Blue 78, Red 67)
6:00 PM – Oneonta Job Corps Academy (White) vs Orchid (Wooden) Orchid is 2-0 with league-best 164 EFF and 98 total rebounds (49 RPG), winning both games without Graham Wooden. Oneonta Job Corps shot just 33% FG with only 12 assists in their opener.
Key Edge: Orchid’s proven depth, rebounding dominance, and second-half adjustments (plus Graham Wooden now available) will overwhelm Oneonta’s low-efficiency attack.
Prediction: Orchid dominates once full strength is on the floor.
Spread: Orchid (Wooden) -22 (Orchid 82, Oneonta Job Corps 60)
6:55 PM – Bello/Richfield (Midnight Navy) vs Purple Purple was the most efficient team in Week 1 (53% FG, 104 EFF, 19 AST). Bello/Richfield is a high-school-heavy debut squad that pushed MAMCO to the wire but lacked overall balance.
Key Edge: Purple’s shooting efficiency and assist numbers from Week 1 will create easy scoring opportunities against a young, still-learning Bello/Richfield roster.
Prediction: Purple cruises with balanced play.
Spread: Purple -14 (Purple 76, Bello/Richfield 62)
A League Week 2
7:40 PM – Bello Electric (Navy) vs Orange Bello Electric nearly upset Gold with high-volume scoring (79 PPG) and strong rebounding (33 REB). Orange won with elite efficiency (44% FG) and veteran depth, controlling the second quarter decisively.
Key Edge: Orange’s shooting efficiency and playmaking from Week 1 (11 AST) will exploit Bello’s occasional inefficiency and turnovers. Bello’s scoring punch keeps it close, but Orange’s balance prevails.
Prediction: Orange edges a competitive game.
Spread: Orange -6 (Orange 72, Bello Electric 66)
8:40 PM – Gold vs J & D Wagon Wheel (Blue) Gold looked like the most complete A League team (86 PPG, 106 EFF, 45% FG, 22 APG). J&D (SUNY Delhi college roster) shot only 38% FG with just 4 assists and struggled with ball movement.
Key Edge: Gold’s Week 1 efficiency, rebounding, and assist numbers will create constant mismatches against J&D’s low-volume playmaking.
Prediction: Gold rolls with superior balance and depth.
Spread: Gold -17 (Gold 81, J&D Wagon Wheel 64)
