Turnovers: Grey 22 | Catskill 17
Steals: Grey 11 | Catskill 7
Advanced Metrics Analysis
Grey won this game primarily through rebounding and defensive pressure. They outrebounded Catskill by 12 and forced 17 turnovers while recording 11 steals. The most glaring issue for Catskill was their three-point shooting — they went just 1-for-24 from beyond the arc (4%), which severely limited their ability to generate offense and close the gap created in the first half.
The made 3 pointer also came in the final minutes of the game.
Despite shooting a modest 37% from the field, Grey’s ability to control the glass and create second-chance opportunities proved decisive. Danny Lapin’s all-around production and Jonah Burness’s rebounding presence gave Grey a physical edge that Catskill could not match. Colby Fancher’s perfect shooting night was a bright spot for Catskill, but the team as a whole was held back by inefficient perimeter shooting and a significant rebounding disadvantage.
Grey’s first-half dominance and control of the boards allowed them to withstand Catskill’s second-half push and secure a solid 8-point win.
Catskill Region Surveying Services (Maroon) 70, Hughson & Benson Insurance (Teal) 47

Hughson & Benson responded better in the second half, outscoring Catskill 31-25, but the deficit was far too large to overcome. Catskill maintained control throughout and closed out a decisive 23-point victory.

Hughson & Benson struggled offensively for most of the game, shooting just 25% from the field and 14% from three. Even though they competed better in the second half and got solid production from Pat Terk and Bisskit Robinson, they were simply outmatched by Catskill’s speed, physicality, and unselfish play.
Ivan Richardson’s scoring and defensive presence, combined with Ty Southard and Colby Fancher’s rebounding, gave Catskill too many weapons for Hughson & Benson to contain.
Catskill’s dominant first half and control of the glass proved decisive in a convincing 23-point win.
Dante's Pizzeria + Team Blendos (Black) 84, Otsego Bicycles + Table Rock Fitness (Grey) 73
Dante’s Pizzeria + Team Blendos defeated Otsego Bicycles + Table Rock Fitness 84-73 behind elite ball movement and strong individual performances from Jared Conklin and Cam Hayes. Despite being significantly out-rebounded, Dante’s took care of the ball and generated high-quality looks throughout the game.
Game Flow
Dante’s built a 44-34 halftime lead behind balanced scoring and excellent playmaking. Grey responded in the second half, outscoring Dante’s 39-40, and made a strong push behind Alex Little’s dominant rebounding. However, Dante’s maintained just enough separation with better shooting efficiency and unselfish play to close out an 11-point victory.

Advanced Metrics Analysis
This was a fascinating game of contrasting strengths. Grey completely dominated the glass, outrebounding Dante’s by an enormous 24 boards (65-41).
However, Dante’s won the game through superior ball movement and care of the basketball. They recorded 24 assists on 35 made field goals and committed only 6 turnovers — an outstanding 4.0 AST/TO ratio.
Dante’s also shot the ball more efficiently, finishing with a 47.67% eFG% compared to Grey’s 37.24%. Their ability to share the ball and generate open looks, particularly from three, offset the massive rebounding disadvantage. Cam Hayes’ 17-point, 15-rebound, 13-assist performance was the ultimate connector for Dante’s, while Jared Conklin’s 33-point outburst provided the scoring punch they needed.
Grey competed hard and controlled the paint, but their higher turnover rate and inability to match Dante’s playmaking ultimately cost them. Dante’s unselfish, efficient offense proved to be the difference in an 11-point win.

Advanced Metrics Analysis
This was a high-efficiency offensive game on both sides. Dante’s finished with a solid 53.41% eFG%, while Hughson & Benson posted a respectable 48.86% eFG%. The biggest difference came in ball security and individual scoring explosions. Dante’s committed only 3 turnovers the entire game, while Hughson & Benson turned it over 8 times.
Despite being significantly out-rebounded (26-45) and out-assisted (18-25), Dante’s won because of the historic scoring from Jared Conklin (46 points) and Ty Kopp (35 points, 11 threes). Cam Hayes’ 14 assists helped facilitate the offense and keep Dante’s efficient even when the shot volume was high.
Hughson & Benson competed hard and got strong production from Pat Terk, Jared Hawkins, and Bisskit Robinson, but they simply could not match the scoring punch of Conklin and Kopp. Dante’s ability to generate and convert high-volume three-point attempts, combined with elite ball security, proved decisive in an 11-point win.
Vibbard Electrical Contracting (Orange) 51, Tino's Pizzeria + Philthy's Laundromat (Carolina) 43
Vibbard Electrical Contracting defeated Tino’s Pizzeria + Philthy’s Laundromat 51-43 in a physical, low-scoring defensive battle. The game was defined by poor three-point shooting from both sides and a strong second-half push from Vibbard.
Game Flow
The first half was tightly contested, with Vibbard holding a slim 18-17 lead at the break. Vibbard then took control in the second half, outscoring Tino’s 33-26. Tino’s struggled significantly from beyond the arc and committed a high number of turnovers, which allowed Vibbard to pull away and secure an 8-point victory.

Steals: Vibbard 10 | Tino’s 5
Blocks: Vibbard 1 | Tino’s 4
Advanced Metrics Analysis
This was a low-efficiency, defensive-minded game. Tino’s actually shot better from the field (42% vs 31%) and got strong interior production from Zyeir Lawrence, but their complete inability to make a three-pointer (0-for-14) severely limited their offensive ceiling. Vibbard, while also inefficient, made just enough shots and forced more turnovers to create the separation they needed.
Vibbard’s defensive pressure was a major factor. They recorded 10 steals and forced 19 turnovers, which helped offset Tino’s better field goal percentage. Braymon Clark and Logan Vibbard combined for 8 steals, creating extra possessions that proved critical in a low-scoring contest.
Tino’s got solid individual efforts from Zyeir Lawrence and Grady Loeffler, but the lack of perimeter shooting and higher turnover rate ultimately cost them. Vibbard’s ability to generate steals and convert enough opportunities in the second half allowed them to pull away for an 8-point win.
IRR Supply (Navy) 95, Poolbrook Contracting (Green) 39
IRR Supply delivered a complete dominant performance, defeating Poolbrook Contracting 95-39 in one of the most lopsided games of the season. The Navy team controlled every facet of the game from start to finish.
Game Flow
IRR Supply jumped out to a 41-21 halftime lead and never looked back. They continued to pour it on in the second half, outscoring Poolbrook 54-18. IRR’s size, athleticism, and ball movement completely overwhelmed Poolbrook, who struggled to generate quality looks and committed a high number of turnovers.

Arie Brunson 20 points and 11 rebounds.
Alex Woeppel 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 steals.
Marc Rivera 18 points, 14 rebounds, and a game-high 12 assists.

Assists: IRR Supply 28 | Poolbrook 9
Turnovers: IRR Supply 20 | Poolbrook 24
Steals: IRR Supply 11 | Poolbrook 8
Advanced Metrics Analysis
This was a total mismatch. IRR Supply dominated the glass by an astonishing 54 rebounds (73-19) and generated 28 assists on 44 made field goals. Their ability to control the paint, force turnovers, and share the ball at a high level created constant scoring opportunities in transition and in the half court.
Poolbrook shot just 23% from the field and 18% from three while committing 24 turnovers. They were simply unable to match IRR’s size, physicality, or pace. Kaiden Legree’s 18-rebound, 9-assist performance and Marc Rivera’s 12-assist night exemplified IRR’s complete control of the game on both ends.
IRR Supply’s overwhelming advantages in rebounding, playmaking, and defensive pressure resulted in a decisive 56-point victory.

New Green (Wooden) 75, Meeker State Farm (Light Orange) 55
New Green defeated Meeker State Farm 75-55 behind a dominant individual performance from Graham Wooden and a significant advantage in ball security. The Wooden team pulled away in the second half after a tied first half.
Game Flow
The first half was evenly matched, with both teams tied at 32-32 at the break. New Green then took control in the second half, outscoring Meeker 43-23.

Despite being out-rebounded 42-30, New Green generated higher-quality looks and converted them efficiently. Graham Wooden’s 38-point, 13-rebound, 4-steal performance was the clear difference-maker. His ability to score at all three levels and create havoc defensively overwhelmed Meeker.
Meeker got solid production from Josh Turner and Rob Scianimanico on the glass, but their inability to take care of the ball and generate any defensive pressure ultimately cost them. New Green’s superior ball security and Graham Wooden’s dominant night led to a comfortable 20-point win.
