Back to Winning Ways

The Price is Right got back to winning this past Monday against Shawn Kemps Kids, winning 61-56.

The offense came from many different areas.  The team shot 33% from deep, with Brandon Hunter (4/11), Jason Hunter (3/8), and Kyle Komer (2/5) all hit from three point range.  All three scorers also had double figures when it came to total points, 16, 11, and 22, respectively.

Overall the team shot 37% from the field.  Kerry Hunter (8 points, 10 rebounds) and Andy Kempf (4 points, 7 rebounds) did their job underneath and found open backdoor cuts and layups.  Kempf opened the game with one.

Coach and captain Jason Hunter was finally back to his old self and was able to play his full amount of minutes.  He also found hit shooting stroke again. shooting 40% from the field, looking better with his open looks.

"It was good to get back out there and help the guys, especially in a close win," Hunter said afterward, "The knee felt great.  But it will take some time to get used to playing with another new brace.  Whatever keeps me on the floor."

The injury bug crawled over Mike Petrilli early in the second half.  After twisting his ankle early in the second half, he remained in the game only to twist it within the next minute.  He did not play the rest of the game.

The PiR were at full-force however this past game, suiting up the full 7 members of their roster.  When Petrilli was lost for the second half, there were able bodies to step in.

The team expects Petrilli's injury to be completely healed by this Sunday's game.

Fines Brought Down on Club

As expected, the league fined not only Brandon Hunter and Andy Kempf $2,500 a piece for their comments after the game last week, but the team was also fined an unspecified amount for being repeat offenders.

A league official stated that even though this "particular team" has not been sighted for this type of behavior but, "the organization has been sighted on a previous occasions less than one year ago."

The PiR will play Powerstrokes this coming Sunday at 7:20
