Cape Cod Frenzy News Release


Boston, MA. In a league where the first game was a shootout to the tune of 263 points and in the second game the teams combined to shoot a combined 101-143 (70% FG), the Cape Cod Frenzy showed they can lock down on defense. The Frenzy emerged victorious 87-81 from their second game in the Mass Arts Premiere Pro Exposure Summer League. Their record now stands 2-0.

In the first half, the Frenzy used a decided height advantage to block shot after shot and out-rebound their opponent GGIE (Got Get It Entertainment). Cape Cod started a frontcourt of Modibo Diarra 6'10, Ife Anosike 6'10 and Randell Jackson 7'0.

With 1:31 left in the game, The Frenzy had extended a close game to an 83-76 lead. And then the drama began. A barrage of no-calls and then technical fouls resulted in GGIE scoring 5 points on free throws in a matter of seconds to make the game 83-81 and GGIE ball. But BABC (Boston Amatuer Basketball Club) Hall of Fame guard Eggie Mcrae ripped the ball from guard Darryl Green and made, essentially the game winning layup under pressure to push the lead to four points at 85-81 with seconds left. Mcrae also knocked down 2 free throws with 5 seconds remaining. The veteran guard was 10-11 from the free throw line for the game and finished with 17 points.
