GK Warriors blows out Elkton Blazers to pieces, 100 -62


On the heels of two successive losses, the Elkton Blazers paraded a new face on the court to spark their offensive line. Mario Lancioni (4), who saw action for the first time in three games, unleashed an almost unstopable 22-point arsenal in his debut. While the flash of brilliance by Lancioni was commendable, the effort failed to give the Blazers their first win in 3 outings.

Simply said: the GK Warriors overpowered the Blazers in every department and ran rings around a dazed Elkton squad by finishing with a 38-point winning margin.

5 players of the 11 who scored off the bench on the GKW team, finished with double-digit numbers totalling to 73% of their final score. The GK twin towers, bannered by Yogi "The Stallion" Veranga and Leo "The Bull" Yanogacio, contributed 19 and 13 points apiece, with "The Stallion" leading in player scores. The Clemente's also had a hayday, as all four contributed to GK's victory with their respective box scores: Ian (23), 18 pts.; Chris (22), 12 pts.; Curtis (13) 11 pts. and Coco (41) 2 pts. With the exception of one player in GK's lineup (who probably was not playing), all players fielded in the game burned the hoops for GK's 3rd win in 3 outings.

GK's 3-0 win loss card solidifies their lead in the over-all and division rankings, while Elkton Blazers retain their bottom spot and the only team without a win, thus far.

Will the Blazers pull a win on their next assignment?

Happy 4th of July everyone!

I don't want to dampen anyone's holiday celebration but since my tag name was dragged by coach mike, here's my take on this disgusting blowout of GK Warriors.

If GK believes that their team is A-League, well and good. But it doesn't give you or any team the right to demean this Palaro League by branding it as a "D-League"...whatever that means. I've seen other Fil-am community leagues and by far, this league organized by PAAD is above par, if not better managed than the leagues i've been to. The quality and standards they have showed so far in managing this league is one of the best, if not "the best". (No offense meant to other neighboring leagues.) This free and open forum alone is a testament of PALARO's great standards. And I address this comment directly and squarely to GKCaliforniaLover and the GK Team.

It also doesn't make GK team a more respectable one by purposely embarassing a fellow league competitor by blowing them out like this. If you're comfortably ahead by 20 points with less than 5minutes of play, will it hurt to give your opponent a graceful exit? Or is it just your egos are so insatiable that going for a kill is the "one high" that consumes these so-called "Warriors". My view... GK Team is more pathetic than the team they beat. Ego maniacs is the best term!

Coach Herb's sorry apology.. is just another S0RRY mask of cowardice, more words and less character.

Grow up kids!! You don't get my respect at all, not one bit!

just my take on things..1st off we all know talk is cheap and with that internet trash talking is even cheaper. coach mike is obviously excited and hyped for the july 11 heavyweight bout and he should be. gk will be his teams 1st real test in where dynamic is not the clear cut favorite. this should be a great game. it is funny because on this blog it seems like a lot of animosity but on saturdays i see a lot of respect between the players. next is one for mr. past and purious..did you know that there are more blowouts than close games and that is why fans and players alike get so excited when a close game is played. teams and players are taught to compete to the end so i dont think anyone will stop playing if up by 20..ive seen my share of games lost by team who were up by 20 or so points. also i dont think anyone referred to paad as a D league in any posts..paad is obviously great if the can bring these so called big names such as Barnes, Yanogacio, Emperial, Santos, Clemente, Lancioni and so on every summer. Well thats it for now..see you at the pound for pound title game next weekend..Happy 4th
