Notes: The Midland Athletic League does a fine job of publishing team and individual statistics during the season. Unfortunately for the Tigers, those statistics show a difficult picture – last place in team offense (35.0 points/game), next to last in both team defense (67.0 ppg allowed) and rebounding (-7.2 rpg average deficit). Through six games, North Baltimore’s leading scorer is their Senior big man Evan North, averaging 13/game (that’s 37% of the Tigers output for you stats geeks.). North is also fifth in MAL rebounding, averaging 7.2 boards per game.

MV lost its last outing at NB 57-53. For those who were there, it was an unforgettable game in terms of officiating.

And that’s all I’m going to say about that.
