"Still in search of
their first league
victory, Ballology will
battle team No D this
evening at the American
Sports Center".
Team Ballology have
struggled recently,
losing two straight game
in a row to open their
Summer Season campaign.
The last time Ballology
was on the court, the
team suffered a 47-46
setback to DownTown.
As for No D, they too
opened their season with
a loss. However, last
Thursday No D bounced
back with a fifteen
point win over team
Optimo.
Ballology hasn't had
much success on offense
this season, but they
have thrived on defense,
holding foes to only
45.0 ppg and a
lackluster 34.2 percent
shooting from the field.
In the club's prior
contest against DownTown,
Nam Tran tallied
24 points and 7 rebounds
while Anh-Vu Pham
chipped in 11 points and
ripped down 11 caroms.
On the season Ballology
is paced by Nam
Tran, who account
for half of the team's
scoring average of 41.0
ppg. Tran also
leads the squad both
scoring with 21.0 ppg
and assist (5) and he is
also collecting 7.0 rpg.
Pham produces 6.5
ppg and he is grabbing a
team leading 8.5 rpg. As
a team, Ballology shot
46.6 percent from the
floor while
out-rebounding DownTown,
29-23. With the loss,
Ballology move to 0-2 in
conference play.
Like Ballology, No D
hasn't had all that much
success at the offensive
end of the court this
season either, averaging
a mediocre 31.6 ppg
behind 22.4 percent
shooting from the field.
In the squad's prior
outing against Optimo,
John
Thach
poured a game-high 11
points 4 steals while
Trung Tran
added 9 points, 2 threes
and 3 rebounds as No D
cruise to a 33-18 win.
Both team's shot a
lackluster 22.3 percent
from the field. As a
team No D out-rebounded
Optimo 31-19 while
connecting on 3-of-16 at
the charity line. With
the win No D moved to
1-1 in conference play.
