Wasaren Sportsnet Player of the Week
Congratulations to Cambridge basketball player Stasia Epler on being named Wasaren Sportsnet Player of the Week.
The freshman guard scored seven points in a 58-33 win over Hoosick Falls on Tuesday but saved her best effort of the week for Friday night, pouring in 21 points, including five from behind the arc to lead the Indians to a come-from-behind 57-53 “W” over the Red Raiders of Mechanicville.
Congratulations to Stasia, this week’s Wasaren Sportsnet Player of the Week.
‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
‘Twas the night before Christmas and in the North Pole
final prep for the big night was taking it’s toll.
Santa and his crew were under the gun
getting gifts ready for holiday fun.
“We need a break”, said Santa, “from the holiday toil and stress
to ensure our package delivery is done with skill and finesse.”
“A game of basketball”, thought Old St. Nick
“Surely a spirited run will do the trick.”
Yes the big man could shoot it and the elves played good “D”
the reindeer rebound and run, it was something to see.
An opponent that’s worthy was next on the list
“I’ve got it”, yelled Santa with a shake of his first.
“A team of all-stars we’ll play from the Wasaren league
their best girls and boys will test us indeed.”
Four quarters of basketball early on Christmas eve
allowed Santa enough time to deliver to those who believe.
The all-stars were stacked with players that could score
Williams, Erickson, Brophy and more.
Zotto, Walsh and Sami D
Germaine and Phillips shooting the three.
The game was intense, spirted, well played throughout
tied with 10 seconds left when Mrs. Claus called timeout.
Mrs. C and Coach Lilac had been dueling all night,
drawing up plays setting things just right.
“We’ll run a down screen for Chris, Dasher you do the honor
if you don’t have a look Dear, go corner to Donor.”
But the Kringle Man was open and he bottomed his “J”
and then he and his reindeer ran to his sleigh.
“Thanks for the game”, called Santa as he drove out of sight
“And Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.”
Jimmer’s China Stats
It’s been more of the same for Jimmer Fredette as the Glens Falls native continues to score at a high level playing for the Shanghai Sharks in the China Basketball Association.
On the season Jimmer has played in 23 games, averaging 38.0 points per contest, good for third best in the league.
The former BYU All-American is shooting .482 from the floor, including .429 from behind the arc and .942 from the foul line. Fredette leads the league in steals at 3.4 per and adds 5.9 rebounds and 6.0 assists nightly.
The Sharks are 14-9 on the year with the league’s regular season just past the midway point.
Jimmer in a recent interview said he will finish his contract with the Sharks and would like to be on an NBA roster for the post season. He went on to say, ” My confidence is at an all-time high. I’m better than I’ve ever been as a basketball player.”
Commenting on the NBA Fredette said, “They’re shooting so many three-pointers and so much of it has to do with space, movement and transition. It’s absolutely my style. I see their offensive systems and everyone can use another shooter, another scorer.”
I couldn’t agree more.
Here’s hoping that an NBA general manager has similar thoughts and maybe one day this spring the “lonely master”, as he’s called in China, will return states side and come off a bench to get buckets for his team, somewhere in The Association.
