CAPE COD'S FEEDING FRENZY DEVOURS NIGHTHAWKS

February 18 , 2007 (Box Score)

Hyannis, MA -- On a night when the townsfolk came out to see the 7'9" Sun Ming Ming, it was the Cape Cod Frenzy's A-game that loomed the largest. The Frenzy soundly defeated the Maryland Nighthawks, 168-140.

The Frenzy's high flying All Star forward Rob Sanders wowed the crowd with acrobatic assaults on the rim. Sanders went over the top for two emphatic alleyoop slams, one a one-handed grab.

The Frenzy attacked early and often. In a first quarter sequence, they scored three straight 3D baskets, nine points in about 20 seconds. The high octane offense was fueled by Sanders, and the outside shooting of Scott Hazelton and Rashid Al-Kaleem. The Frenzy led 81-60 at the half.

Ming struggled to score on the interior but left open from fifteen feet, he swished a jumper to the delight of the crowd and finished with seven points. In the second half, Maryland's streetball sensation, Randy "White Chocolate" Gill and ABA All Star Drew "Spongebob" Washington provided offense for the Nighthawks, but were unable to contain the Frenzy attack. The lead eventually burgeoned to nearly forty points before Coach Corcoran emptied his bench. Fan favorite and walk on, Charlie Large, scored a layup over Ming which brought raucous applause from the audience.

The Frenzy were led in scoring by Hazelton with 35, Sanders added 33 while Flavin and Al-Kaleem scored 19 apiece. Drew Washington, who sat out over a quarter due to a sprained ankle, still managed 45 for the Nighthawks, Randy Gill added 33. The Frenzy hit the road for Rochester to face the Rochester RazorSharks for the third time this season at the Blue Cross Arena and hope the third time is a charm as they attempt to break Rochester's home court winning streak.
