Maywood Buzz News Release
Tijuana, Mexico - When the final horn sounded the Orange County Buzz stole one from the Dragons 112-111 in front of 3500 plus fans. "We was not even supposed to be here, but a flight mix-up with our flight to Honolulu, HI and so we decided that we would like to down and face our friends south of the boarder. After losing the night before to social we knew we had to come in and play hard, we played with 7 players and played hard and together" Stated Buzz Head Coach Burrel Lee III.
Lee added "James Williams & Lamar Gayle came up very big tonight, but so did all the others on our well balanced team. Williams finished with 29pts, 24rebs 5blks & 7ast, Gayle finished with 30pts, 15rebs and 10ast. Patrick Binion chipped in 17pts & Wendell Robinson added 16pts. High scorers for Tijuana Matt Valigh with 30 and Harold Arceniux added 27."
The Buzz trailed 27-4 after the first 8:37 passed, but just like the night before the Buzz used a strong defensive played 3rd quarter to get righ tback in the game. But this would maybe be the best game played between the two teams in 2yrs.
With the score 111-109 and 9.9 on the game clock, the Buzz called on Williams and with 4.2 on the clock he hit a 3pt shot with a footer guarding him and in it went for the game winner.
"I just tried to do it all today, score, rebound, get my team involved and it felt good. The game winner felt good from the inbound, to me dribbling to my release, I am happy we came away with the win" added Williams
The Buzz who are now 6-14 head arcoss the Pacific for a back to back with the Hawaii Mega Force. You can listen to both games live via www.ocbuzz.net.
