July 20, 2007 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Cape Cod Frenzy News Release


Boston, Massachusetts: The Cape Cod Frenzy of the American Basketball Association (ABA) took a sixteen point lead into halftime in last night's game against the Meerkats (77-61). But that was before Boston Celtics forward Ryan Gomes arrived. Somehow, the Frenzy were able to withstand the Meerkats' second half rally, and emerged as the winner, 158-155, in overtime.

Gomes put on a second half show that was on a pace for a 76 point game - putting up 38 in the final two quarters. Behind Gomes and Meerkats' point guard Derek Coleman fast paced assault, the Frenzy's lead vanished. Scott Hazelton kept the Frenzy in the game in the third quarter, matching Gomes basket for basket, and Dwight Brewington kept attacking the basket for Cape Cod.

With two minutes remaining in overtime, Eric Downie drilled a three pointer that opened up a five point lead for the Frenzy. They were able to maintain the margin the rest of the way and hold on for the win.

Scott Hazelton led all scorers with 52 points, Dwight Brewington had 41, and Jamaal Wise had 23. Eric Downie contributed 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 13 assists. Derek Coleman scored 40 points and added 18 assists for the Meerkats.

The Frenzy concluded the Boston Premiere Pro Summer League 6-0 and earned the #1 seed going into this weekend's playoffs. Dwight Brewington completed the season as the league's leading scorer with a 46.8 points per game average.

Friday night at 7:45 PM the Frenzy take on undefeated Cambyland from Connecticut in Greater Springfield Pro Am Basketball League. Cambyland features Charles Easterling aka "The Beast".
