Season 55 Rookie game

 


ROOKIES 81, CUT PILE 53 (Slaughter rule enforced)
NEWCOMERS ROMP OVER REJECTS
Season 55's incoming rookies demonstrated their ball-hawking ability on the way to a 28-point win against the over-matched refugees from the cut pile.

The final score of 81-53 included 12 steals by the MBA newbies, which would have tied a league record had this been a regular season game. Every starter on the rookie squad purloined at least one ball.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
30 GVP...Rookie forward BIG "BLUE" BOTTLE was everpresent in this victory, scoring a game-high 19 points, tying for most steals with 3, pulling down 7 rebounds and blocking 1 shot. Bottle was 7 for 14 from the floor (0 for 3 from deep) while going 5 for 7 from the foul line. Scouting reports had him primarily as a fine defender, but he showed a little more than just that in this win.

Other 20-plus GVP performers
29 GVP...6-9 rookie center Poop-Rupiah 3000...18 points...10 rebounds...1 steal.
25 GVP...6-2 rookie guard Donny "Diaper" Dupons...16 points...4 assists...3 rebounds...2 steals.
23 GVP...6-10 rookie forward Nick Kenpoop...12 points...3 rebounds...3 assists...3 steals...2 blocks.
22 GVP...6-5 cut pile forward Ed "Horsehead" Henderson...13 points...6 rebounds...2 steals...1 assist.
