Who's House? Brandon Triche's House.

Meanwhile...back at the King of Kings Basketball League...

The summer season is underway and as we know various incoming, current and former Syracuse players are plying their wares therein. We're only a couple games into the season but if early goings are any indication, Brandon Triche is already establishing himself as cock of the walk.

Playing for Prestige Elite, Triche led the team to victory over Da Bombers in the first game of the season with a 76-58 win. Brandon scored 16 points and added 7 assists. Fellow Orangeman Scoop Jardine added 12 and James Sutherland added 6 points and 6 boards. Elite held off the one-man-wrecking-crew that is Josh Wright, who led Da Bombers with 27 points. Where did THAT come from???

n the second game of the season, Jardine and Sutherland were MIA so Triche picked up the pace, scoring 25, dishing 5 and rebounding 5 to lead the team to a 79-62 win over Streetz Officials (which I assume were different than the actual officials officiating the game).

The Elite sit alone atop the League Standings and will try to keep that going with a win over Greater Grace tomorrow. If you're in the area, an SU fan and you AREN'T checking these games out, I hereby deem you a crazy person.

just wondering

if “cock of the walk” is the best term to use in that situation.

Team stats should be up by Sunday

Brandon has been doing great, and Scoop had a really good game. Brandon really took over that team.

Also, watch out for guys such as Scott Knapp (Sienna) on Greater Grace, Edwin Ubiles (played for Sienna in NCAA tournament this past season) on 518, Latavia Escho (was supposed to play on Syracuse Raging Bullz before they disbanded) on Prestige Elite, Michael Plonisch (Utica College) on Shorty’s AKA Maintain Swagger, and Sean Burton (Ithaca) on Shorty’s AKA Maintain Swagger. They’re all some of the top talents in the tournament, and some pretty well-known local guys who have gone to college around here.

Weekly Leaders report is here:
http://www.kingofkingsutica.com/news_3.html

Brandon’s 4th in ppg, 3rd in apg;
Josh Wright is 2nd in ppg, 1st in steals;
and Deandre Preaster is 5th in ppg, 10th in rpg.

Edelin has not yet shown, but may be expected sooner or later during the season.

Tiki may not come back for 518. With them in the bottom of the standings, I’m sure he’s welcome.

btw

That “Weekly Leaders report” is for the end of week 2 – through 16 games; 2 played by each team.

Week 3 report should be done by the end of the week and posted once I’ve received them.

A couple good games last night

Brandon had technically his worst game so far – he had so many turnovers, I was surprised, because up until last night he had been solid so far.

Could be the change of scenery, because we switched from Utica College to Mohawk Valley Community College.

Either way, he was still great. He had 17 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, and a steal. He stretched the defense and shot and made multiple shots from beyond NBA 3 point range.

His team blew out Greater Grace, despite Scott Knapp having a great game and really burning Triche on a couple of plays.

Boxscore: http://kingofkingsutica.com/070109-1.html

Former Raging Bullz player Latavia Escho had a great game, and was arguably the best player of the night – 23 points, 12 rebounds, and overall dominance.

I’ll update on the second game, and specifically Edwin Ubiles (draft express profile: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Edwin-Ubiles-5316/) and Tiki Mayben (who made a great comeback!) once the boxscore has been fixed.
