Zee's Round Up: 2nd of June

A spirited second half performance almost gave Homenetmen Antranig their first win of the season. Down by more than 20 points with less than 6 minutes to play, coach Zarigian realized that the Knights were struggling with fatigue at the back end of the game so Antranig pushed the ball up the court faster and tightened up defensively. The three big men of the team, Zac Boyadjian, Paul Boghossian and rookie, Shant Hekimian all played strong with Antranig dominating the boards.

The controversial 10 point penalty cost Antranig 3 competition points, but considering they would’ve won without the penalty, I think the coaching staff and the players see this as the turning point of the season. Coach Zarigian said at the after match press conference that the team still had a long way to go but the performance against the Knights was a good stepping stone to a winning season.

Boggo Bogged By Opposition Odor

In what can only be described as a dark day for basketball, the opposition was reduced to using bad body odor to close down Boggo and the Antranig offence. The Antranig team was visibly disturbed as the odor seemed to be passed on throughout the opposition. The smell can be best decribed as the opposite to the 'Lynx Effect'.

Tong Po: Above The Rim

Tong 'the human highlight reel' Po is making quite a habit of doing something out of the ordinary at the three throw line. This time it included Tong shooting the three throw over the board with the shot hitting the cables which hold up the ring. On a positive, Tong is shooting 50% from the line which tells us if it hits the ring then its going in.

Troy out for 4 months: shoulder reconstruction

The team has been rocked with news that Troy will be sidelined for up to 4 months following reports that he will be having an operation to fix his shoulder.

In what had been previously thought of as an excuse not to play, recent tests confirmed the seriousness of the injury.

In other more lifting news, the return of Steve Ferhad may be sooner rather than later with recovery from his injury going well.

Tong Po claims on debut 'You can take that to the bank'

Tong Po's debut was a non event with the highlight being the bank free throw he shot. Not surprisingly, he followed the bank shot with an airball.

Tong Po seems to be getting carried away with his new name as he came to training with no shoes. Teammates hope that this does not mean that Tong Po will be coming to next weeks training with broken glass wrapped around his hands.

New Recruit: Tong Po

On Saturday the 9th of May, Tong Po officially joined Homenetmen Antranig Senior Mens'. Tong Po, otherwise known as 'Teletubby', 'Po', 'Kung Fu Panda' & Shant Hekimian was quick to impress his fellow teammates with his lack of speed and skills.

In other news, Paul Boghossian has made his ninth comeback, with a debut to be made in the coming weeks.
