The Show II

The Motion were in Enola on June 2nd and 3rd for "The Show II." It was my first time seeing them play in a few weeks and they really looked like a completely different team, they were much improved. Their first game on Saturday was a good one with the Motion leading most of the way before losing control at the end with a final of 75-68.  Jordan Dockens led the way for the Motion with 27 points and 9 rebounds. Pat Stevens also had a strong game with 17 points. John Ramsey played a great game at point guard and finished the game with 7 rebounds and 7 assists. The Motion were able to bounce back and get a win in their second game on Saturday. It was another tight one with a final score of 63 to 57. Pat Stevens had another good performance with 22 points and 10 boards while Chad Smitz poured in 18 points. The playoff bracket began on Sunday and it was win or go home for the Motion. They were fortunate to get a forfeit win their first game and move on to the next round. However, their next game was against the Central Penn Ballers, whom they had already lost to twice this season. The Motion came out strong in the first half, leading by as many as 12 points a couple different times during the half. The Ballers looked sluggish and lazy and the Motion took advantage. But the Ballers picked up the intensity in the the last 5 minutes of the half and took the lead into halftime. From there, they never looked back. The Motion fought hard, but were simply outmatched by the size of the Ballers. The final score was 91-78 in favor of the Ballers. Chad Smitz had another big scoring game putting in 21 points to go along with 6 assists. Pat Stevens continued his strong play with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Evan Zimmerman had his best game of the tournament with 19 points. Stats for the entire tournament are listed below:

Motion win their first tournament of the summer!

The 17U Mid-Penn Motion boy's team traveled to Bath, PA to take part in the Spring Storm Tournament hosted by the In the Zone aau program. The Motion got off to a hot start Friday night taking care of the ITZ-Roadrunners by 23 points. The Motion's intense pressure defense forced the Roadrunners into many turnovers, which led to numerous fastbreak points. Jordan Dockens came away with the play of game and perhaps the entire tournament when he threw down a massive poster dunk. This was one of the best dunks on somebody that I've seen in person, and I've been dunked on quite a few times myself.  is posted below,  The Motion's second game was against the Perkasie Knights. It looked like the Motion had the game wrapped up but the Knights went on a 16-2 run in the last few minutes to close out the game and the Motion lost a tough one 46-38.

The Motion rose early the next morning to compete in their 8:00 game against the Northeast Sting. It was win or go home, and the Motion were able to grind out a tough 52-41 victory. Their next game was a semi-final match against the ITZ-Roadrunners, whom they beat the night before very handily. This game wasn't so easy as the Roadrunners had figured out the Motion's 1-3-1 trapping zone and were able to keep it fairly close before falling 54-46. For the championship game the Motion got a little chance at revenge. They were to play the Perkasie Knights again and refused to squander another chance to take care of this team. The Motion got off to an early lead and never looked back, winning the game pretty soundly 60-47. New big man Josh Spaulding played a monster of a game, finishing with 17 points and 8 rebounds. This is the first tournament that the Motion have won this season. They will look to build on this success as the competition gets a little tougher in future tournaments. This Saturday, May 12th, the Motion will be participating in the Lower Buck Lightning Spring Fling in Langhorne, PA.

Updated Stats and Results from Pizza Hut Mid Atlantic Tournament

The Mid-Penn Motion had a disappointing weekend of basketball as they lost all three of their tournament games. The Motion struggled to find consistent offense and never really looked comfortable on the court. They will look to turn things around this weekend as they will participate in another local tournament. More information on the schedule and details of that tournament will be posted later.
