B League – Week 4 New Green (Wooden) 52, Vibbard Electrical Contracting (Orange) 47
New Green (Wooden) defeated Vibbard Electrical Contracting 52-47 in a low-scoring, defensive battle to open Week 4. Both teams struggled offensively, but New Green’s ability to get to the free-throw line and make plays in the second half proved to be the difference.
Game Flow
New Green led 26-21 at halftime after a sluggish first half from both teams. The second half remained physical and low-possession. Vibbard fought back to tie the game late, but New Green responded with timely stops and converted enough free throws to secure the five-point victory.

Turnovers: New Green 16 | Vibbard 15
Free Throws: New Green 10-17 (59%) | Vibbard 5-10 (50%)
Advanced Metrics Analysis
This was a low-efficiency offensive game on both sides. New Green finished with a 38.89% eFG%, while Vibbard posted a poor 31.34% eFG%. Despite the ugly shooting numbers, New Green found a way to win by getting to the free-throw line more often and converting at a higher rate.
Vibbard’s offense struggled throughout the second half, managing just 26 points. Gavin Zinger carried a heavy load (17 points on 20 shots), but the lack of complementary scoring and very poor three-point shooting (1-8) made it difficult for them to sustain any momentum. New Green’s ability to limit second-chance opportunities and convert at the free-throw line in the closing minutes was the deciding factor.
B League – Week 4 IRR Supply (Navy) 63, Tino's Pizzeria + Philthy's Laundromat (Carolina) 61
IRR Supply edged out Tino’s Pizzeria + Philthy’s Laundromat 63-61 in a tight, competitive game. Despite Zyeir Lawrence’s dominant 40-point performance, IRR Supply’s superior ball movement and balanced attack allowed them to secure the narrow two-point victory.
Game Flow
Tino’s led 27-34 at halftime behind strong play from Zyeir Lawrence. IRR Supply responded in the second half with better execution and ball movement, slowly chipping away at the deficit. The game remained close throughout the final minutes, with IRR Supply making just enough plays on both ends to pull out the win.
Standout Performances
IRR Supply (Navy)
Devon Chabot: 22 points (11-15 FG), 6 rebounds, 1 assist
Ryan Ashline: 11 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists Tim Kamina: 10 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists
Tino's Pizzeria + Philthy's Laundromat (Carolina)
Zyeir Lawrence: 40 points (17-24 FG, 2-4 3PT), 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, 4 blocks
Team Stat Comparison Final Score: IRR Supply 63 | Tino’s 61
Field Goal %: IRR Supply 45% | Tino’s 50%
3PT %: IRR Supply 24% | Tino’s 19%
Rebounds: IRR Supply 32 | Tino’s 23
Assists: IRR Supply 24 | Tino’s 8
Turnovers: IRR Supply 11 | Tino’s 13
Advanced Metrics Analysis
This was a classic example of team efficiency versus individual dominance. Although Tino’s shot better from the field (50% vs 45%) and got a historic performance from Zyeir Lawrence, IRR Supply won the game with dramatically better ball movement. Their 24 assists compared to Tino’s 8 was the biggest statistical gap of the game and directly translated into higher-quality shots.
IRR Supply also controlled the glass (+9 rebounding margin), which helped them limit Tino’s second-chance opportunities. Despite Zyeir Lawrence’s 40-point outburst, the rest of Tino’s roster combined for just 21 points, making it difficult for them to sustain offensive pressure once Lawrence was heavily defended or fatigued.
IRR Supply’s ability to share the ball and generate assists at a high rate allowed them to overcome Tino’s superior individual talent and secure a hard-fought two-point win.
IRR Supply (Navy) 62, Dante's Pizzeria + Team Blendos (Black) 52
IRR Supply defeated Dante’s Pizzeria + Team Blendos 62-52 behind a dominant rebounding performance and strong team play. Despite Blendos getting solid contributions from Hobson Herlihy and Cam Hayes, IRR Supply’s control of the glass and superior ball movement proved to be the difference.
Game Flow
Both teams were tied at 34 at halftime in a physical first half. IRR Supply pulled away in the second half, outscoring Blendos 28-18. Blendos struggled to find consistent offense after the break, while IRR Supply capitalized on second-chance opportunities and moved the ball well to create better looks.
Standout Performances
IRR Supply (Navy)
Devon Chabot: 27 points (12-17 FG), 13 rebounds
Tim Kamina: 9 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist
Ryan Ashline: 6 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists
Dante's Pizzeria + Team Blendos (Black)
Hobson Herlihy: 26 points (10-23 FG), 12 rebounds, 2 assists
Cam Hayes: 15 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists
Team Stat Comparison Final Score: IRR Supply 62 | Blendos 52
Field Goal %: IRR Supply 34% | Blendos 30%
3PT %: IRR Supply 14% | Blendos 17%
Rebounds: IRR Supply 54 | Blendos 47
Assists: IRR Supply 17 | Blendos 8
Turnovers: IRR Supply 10 | Blendos 14
Advanced Metrics Analysis
IRR Supply won this game with superior rebounding and ball movement. They held a significant advantage on the glass (+7) and recorded more than double the assists (17 vs 8). This allowed them to generate higher-quality shots and limit Blendos’ second-chance opportunities.
Although Blendos stayed competitive thanks to strong individual efforts from Hobson Herlihy (26 points) and Cam Hayes (15 points, 16 rebounds), the rest of the roster struggled to contribute offensively. IRR Supply’s ability to share the ball and crash the boards consistently gave them the edge in a game that was decided more by execution and physicality than by shooting efficiency.
Devon Chabot’s 27-point, 13-rebound performance was the standout individual effort, but IRR Supply’s team-oriented approach and rebounding dominance were the real keys to the victory.
Otsego Bicycles + Table Rock Fitness (Grey) 59, Poolbrook Contracting (Green) 58 (OT)
Otsego Bicycles + Table Rock Fitness defeated Poolbrook Contracting 59-58 in overtime in one of the closest and most competitive games of Week 4. The game came down to the final seconds of regulation, thanks to a clutch three-pointer from Jonah Burness.
Game Flow
Grey built a 27-17 halftime lead, but Poolbrook mounted a strong comeback in the second half, outscoring Grey 30-20 to erase the deficit. With the game tied late in the fourth quarter, Jonah Burness hit a huge three-pointer to tie the score and force overtime. The extra period remained tight, with both teams trading baskets until Grey made the final plays needed to secure the one-point victory.

Turnovers: Grey 34 | Poolbrook 26
Steals: Grey 11 | Poolbrook 8
Advanced Metrics Analysis
This was a high-intensity, back-and-forth game that went to overtime. Poolbrook actually shot more efficiently from the field (43% vs 35%) and from three (41% vs 20%), but Grey’s overwhelming rebounding advantage (+15) and defensive pressure (11 steals) kept them in the game.
Jonah Burness’ clutch three-pointer in the final minute of regulation was a pivotal moment, forcing overtime and giving Grey new life. Although Poolbrook had better ball movement and more efficient scoring, their inability to match Grey on the boards and their higher turnover total prevented them from closing out the win.

While Jesse Chase tried to keep Poolbrook competitive, the rest of the roster struggled mightily with shooting and decision-making. Hughson & Benson’s combination of efficient scoring, unselfish play, and elite defense made this one of the most lopsided games of the season.
Catskill Region Surveying Services (Maroon) 70, Five Star Subaru (Purple) 50
