PHOBIA CAPTURES 12TH TITLE
PHILADELPHIA--The defending champion Philadelphia Phobia, sparked by its two least heralded players, ran off to a 12-2 start and spent the rest of the game successfully holding off the San Jose Fighting Amigos on the way to a 12th championship. For the second game in a row, second-year center Ama Spikie (23 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks) won game MVP honors to lead the way. He was accompanied by teammate Zingo Mamaluke, who registered 18 points in the win.
Cock A. Doodledoo returned from injury to pace San Jose with 23 points, but the Fighting Amigos could not compete on the boards with the big Phobia front line, nor match the shooting efficiency (63 percent) of the champions.
Hall of Famer Boone Doggle of Philadelphia was named Playoff MVP, the first time he has captured the post season honor and the second MVP of his career.

ROWDY RON CLUTCH GAINS HALL OF FAME ENTRY
It has been announced from on high that former Philadelphia Phobia forward Rowdy Ron Clutch, via the veterans committee, has gained entry into the MBA Hall of Fame.
Clutch, an MBA original who retired after Season 9, was named three times to the All-MBA first team and elected to four all star games. He was a member of the first Phobia championship team way back in Season 5. Clutch's election means that the entire starting lineup of the early Philadelphia quintet have now earned the MBA's highest honor. He joins teammates Uncle Bob Masterson, Oscar Mudcat, Raisin Sport and Alex Pal in the hallowed hall, representing perhaps the greatest team in league history.
Rowdy Ron, at 6-7, was a versatile performer who began his career in Milwaukee and ended with a three-year stint heading the expansion Dallas team. At one time or another he led his team in every single category (points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, free throws and shooting percentage).
