Maywood Buzz News Release
Honolulu, HI - Magic & Kareem, Batman & Robin, Kobe & Shaq, Laurel & Hardy, Montana & Rice all great dynamic duo's. These duo's either carried their teams, cities or just made you laugh. The Buzz believe that Lamar Gayle & James Williams are that next great combo to carry their team.
"After playing Wednesday at SoCal, Thursday at Tijuana we just knew that we couldn't travel cross the Pacific Ocean and then play and play like we have the last 6 games. Well, the Buzz Duo proved me wrong," stated Buzz Head Coach Burrel Lee III. "These guys have completely just terrorized teams, putting up together 71.4ppg, 31.3rpg and 12.0apg between them, can you argue this" Lee added.
Gayle had 35pts, 13rebs and 7ast, Williams added 25pts, 19rebs, 11blks 4stls, and 3ast in the Buzz (7-14) 121-101 win over the Hawaii Mega Force (0-6), Friday night at Kalaheo High School.
"This was a big win for us, we have now won 2 in a row, we are clicking, we are 4-2 in our last 6 games. We just need to step up our defense and we will go a long way, and coach is letting us play our game and not holding us back" added Gayle. "I think if we can keep playing like this and get a few upsets in there we can go far."
Other numbers for the Buzz Everett Ratleff (14pts, 6ast, 7rebs), Wendell Robinson (13pts & 7rebs), Eric Maye (12pts & 6rebs), Andre Jackson (10pts), AJ Diggs (11pts, 12ast, 6rebs and 4stls) and Josh Jones (2pts).
"This game was huge for us also because we started a new streak, a winning streak. It is only 2 in a row, but after a 12 game losing streak and winning streak is good" stated Ratleff, who along with Robinson and Jackson has been here since day one.
The Buzz will play tonight vs the Hawaii Mega Force at 7pm (9pm PST) with BuzzCast Radio starting prior 30minutes to tip-off on www.ocbuzz.net.
