 MOST SPORTSMANLIKE PLAYER - MATTHEW GARNICK

Gotta show love to the Eagles who lost a heart breaker in the Final. They were the team to beat all year and for the majority of the Final they were in the driver’s seat.

MORAL HAZARDS

Moral Hazards capped off an impressive undefeated season  with a convincing 84-48 win over Fast Break.  Congratulations

*** JUS FLY PUTS ON A SHOW***

Justin ‘Jus Fly’ Darlington showed to all those in attendance at the TBC Fall ‘08 Finals why he is an honoured member of Team Flight
Brothers and is considered one of the world’s top dunkers.  Helping ring in the launch of K1X into Canada, Jus Fly got the gym rowdy with a collection of some of his signature dunks!
Stay tuned we have the whole showcase along with Jonathans ridiculous championship winning shot on film. Video coming soon…

SHOUTS TO CADDY ROLLIN’ THRU

This week marks the final week of the Toronto Ballers Club Fall ‘08 Season.  We have a big week planned for the Finals with Justin ‘Jus Fly’ Darlington rollin’ through after doing the Raptors halftime show on Sunday to come and show the TBC what all the hype is about.  As for the game, we have a matchup between two of the hottest teams at the moment.

MEN’s COMPETITIVE

Ever since Jonathan hit that game winning 3 pointer against Angiel basketball, the Young Gunnz have been turning heads with their deadly 3 point shooting and their unwavering grit and determination.  The Eagles, summer league champs are back where they are confortable, as favourites to take it all again.  It should be a great game, and for all those that come down to check it out, it’s sure to be an exciting final!

 MEN’s REC

As anticipated, the undefeated Moral Hazards are set to meet Fast Break in the Final. These have been the two strongest teams all year, with Fast Break really taking it up a notch with the addition of Evan mid season.  We expect this game to be intense and it should go down to the wire.

There’s always Next Year!

The Toronto Ballers Club is proud to be partnered with K1X as they enter the Canadian market.  Look out for the K1X H1KE All Access available exclusively from Athlete’s World. Also keep an eye out for upcoming events including the much anticipated slam dunk showcase by Toronto’s own Justin ‘Jus Fly’ Darlington. Some are saying he is the highest jumper they have ever seen.  Be sure to make your way down to the gym on Sunday December 14th, to witness Jus Fly do his thing in person!

It’s been a roller coaster ride so far this TBC Fall ‘08 Season.  The main things to look for going into the final week are teams trying to move into the championship round and avoid the consolation bracket.

On the Men’s Competitive side Angiel Basketball and Smokin’ Aces go into the final week both tied with 3-5 records but Angiel holds the tie breaker on head to head +/- to hold the final Championship Round spot.  With the winless Scarboro Redout on deck for Angiel and Smokin’ Aces going up against the first place Eagles it will definitely take a miracle. But after seeing the Young Gunnz’ Jonathan hit the game winning 3 at the buzzer over Angiel two weeks ago, anything can happen.

JONATHAN & MARVIN FROM THE YOUNG GUNNZ

Rec league has been incredibly competitive.  Moral Hazards goes into the final week still undefeated.  They have been tested though, and we expect to see some of these other tough teams like Fast Break and Risky Business take them to the limit.

So things were a little unorganized and I have to accept the blame for that. But other than missing one game completely, and possibly playing the wrong team on the wrong court, it was a pretty successful day overall! The Eagles represented for the Toronto Ballers Club with 3 big wins, and if only I had my shit together, we would probably have won all 4 and be the team to beat in the standings. Anyways, the day ended with a crazy thunderstorm, so overall it was definitely a day I won’t be forgetting anytime soon!

Let’s see what happens on DAY 2! Stay tuned!
