Finishing the Division 1 League With A Bang/ Gregarious Deserved Champs
The Flameboys (run by the Big Bangs) won their last 5 games of the league to finish 11-3 and in sole possession of 4th place out of 15 teams.  It was a tough journey as they battled through injuries, exams, work, crappy refs, traffic, and humid weather to finish respectably.  They started off slowly going 1-2 in the 1st 3 games, won 5 in a row, lost a tough one, and then finished off strong with another 5 wins in …

In March of this year, the Big Bangs organized an under-17 basketball league.
All the participants were kids who were no older than juniors in high school.  These kids were desperate for a tournament which wasn’t being dominated by seniors, college students and adults (sadly that includes the Big Bangs).  It was no fun for them to register in a tournament just to lose every game by 50 points or more.  These kids wanted fair and even competition and the Big Bangs gave it to them.
8 teams participated in a season, …
