They say defending a title is one of the hardest things to do, no matter the sport.

The Bureaucrats, though, managed to prove that it can be done and they did it in fine fashion.

They are once again your Yk Basketball Association champions after beating the Avery Cooper Nuggets in the best-of-three final series in two straight by scores of 81-77 and 84-65 respectively; the latter score came this past Friday at Sir John Franklin Gymnasium.

Damien Healy, who plays with the champs, said Game 2 was a lot better than Game 1 for one big reason: Simon Markowski.

SA国际影视传媒淪imon played awesome,SA国际影视传媒 he said. SA国际影视传媒淗e hit six three (pointers) and no one else did that for us. He was doing some hard-body karate in that game and heSA国际影视传媒檚 officially replaced Cory Taylor as the greatest player in the league.SA国际影视传媒

Both teams ended up in the final after winning their respective semifinal best-of-threes SA国际影视传媒 the Bureaucrats took down the Ideal Woodworking 76ers in two straight while the Nuggets needed all three Games to beat the Jazz. The semifinals featured some rather exciting finishes along the way and Healy had a front-row seat for two of those contests as an official.

They included something Healy said heSA国际影视传媒檇 never seen before in Yellowknife basketball: two buzzer-beaters to win a game on the same night.

SA国际影视传媒淕ame 1 of the Jazz and the Nuggets had Matt Craig hit one to win and then the game with the 76ers and the (WINMAR) Spartans, the juniors SA国际影视传媒 the 76ers hit a buzzer-beater to win the series,SA国际影视传媒 he said. SA国际影视传媒淚 canSA国际影视传媒檛 ever remember that happening but it provided a bit of March Madness-type of basketball.SA国际影视传媒

And because players like to keep track of what theySA国际影视传媒檝e won, he added, it was the second title in a row for Darren Campbell while some others have hit pay dirt again.

SA国际影视传媒淭his is the ninth title for Simon and Jeremy Bird told me itSA国际影视传媒檚 his 10th,SA国际影视传媒 he said. SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 not sure how many ISA国际影视传媒檝e won but ISA国际影视传媒檇 have to go back to when I was a junior to figure that out.SA国际影视传媒
