On saturday, Feb. 6 night, the Elmira Bulldogs had to hand the first loss of the season, by the New York Wizards, 108-110. In what was billed to be a premier battle between two of the leagues top and unbeaten teams lived up to the hype and then some as the battled right to the end. Home team NY Wizards jumped out of the gates early led by the hot hands of Jerome Richardson (6'4''-G/F-83, college: Louisiana Tech) (28 points), Mike McDuffie (6'4''-F-86, college: Adelphi) (29 points), Anthony Cox (6'9''-C-83, college: Farmingdale St.) (18 points, 15 rebounds) and Nick Carter (6'1''-F-86, college: C.W. Post) (16 points) and took a 18 point lead midway through the first quarter. The Bulldogs stormed back, cutting the lead to 10 points by the end of the first quarter and dominating the second quarter to take a 54-51 lead into the locker room at half time. The Bulldogs run was headed by Brandon Lawley (6'6''-F-85, college: Mansfield (PA)) who had a team and personal career best 21 points to go along with 12 rebounds. Last seasons EBA MVP Aubin Scott (6'2''-G-83, college: LIU Brooklyn) scored 18 points while Kirk Stewart (6'5''-F, college: NYIT) finished with 17 points 13 rebounds and 4 blocked shots. The two teams battled dead even in the 3rd quarter as the Bulldogs kept a 3 point lead going into the 4th quarter, when the Wizards got red hot again to come back and take a 2 point lead 108-106 with 9 seconds left in the game. The Bulldogs took a time-out to advance the ball to mid court with a chance to tie or take the lead. The Bulldogs in bounded the basketball to Sherod Harris (5'10''-G-83, college: Brockport St.) who looked to be run into by a Wizards player sending him 3 steps backwards with the ball in his hands, the ref instead went with a travel call. It was a crucial call in the game as if it was called a foul the Bulldogs were in the bonus and Sherod Harris would have gone to the line for 2 foul shots with a chance to tie the game and send it into overtime. After the travel call the Wizards in bounded and Bulldogs were forced to foul with the Wizards knocking down both free throws for a 110-106 lead. Aubin Scott quickly went the length of the court for a 2 point layup with 1.9 seconds remaining to cut the Wizards lead to 110-108 but the home twam was able to inbound the ball and run out the clock before the Bulldogs could commit a foul to stop the clock. With the win the New York Wizards (6-0) take over sole possession of 1st place in the Eastern Basketball Alliance Northern Conference Empire Division while the Elmira Bulldogs (5-1) drop to second place. The Elmira Bulldogs will not have to wait long for a chance at revenge as the Wizards and Bulldogs will meet again this Saturday February 13th @ First Arena in Elmira, NY with NBA legend Dennis Rodman as head coach of the hometown Bulldogs. The night before on Friday February 12th Dennis Rodman will be leading the Elmira Bulldogs in a showdown with the Garden State Rebels from First Arena.
