east vs west

The much anticipated East vs West all star game did not live up to its hype as the Western all stars easily defeated the East. With most of the Eastern All Stars not making an appearance, Ken Ngarayawongse was traded from the West to the Eastern All Stars. Ken finished with a game high 38 points but the East could not overcome the many weapons of the West. With the Franchise players not showing up, 626'er GM Rodney Ching took over as all star GM. At the half, the East was down by 12 points but with no subs fatigue set in and the West was able to route the East.

The Western All Stars were led by 626'ers Kevin Valmonte. He finished the day with 35 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. After being snubbed of another regular season MVP he settled for all star MVP. Fellow teammate Josh Fry contributed on the defensive end with 2 emphatic blocks. Adrian Eddington of Regulators displayed his leaping ability by throwing down a few dunks while being a force on the glass, finishing with 19 points and 20 rebounds. He has made it known that he is looking to play in the platinum division and with a stellar performance in all star weekend, platinum teams should be lining up to get the services of Adrian. Ryan Trainor of 626'ers came off the bench to post 17 points showing off his shooting touch. The reigning three point champ, Ron Bentley showcased his range and ball handling abilities connecting for 7 points and 2 assists. Jason of High Five led the team defensively with 2 steals and 7 rebounds. Rodney Ching and Ryan Mangos combined for 5 points, providing major contributions via the sideline, coaching their team to a victory.

The Eastern All Stars were led by former west all star, Ken Ngarayawongse. He finished with a game high 38 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 assists. Kendra Caraway of Abstract showcased her ability to finish around the rim, finishing with 23 points and 6 rebounds. Alvin Queribin of Underdawgs rounded out the top three while also leading the team defensively. He finished with 13 points and 6 steals. First time all star, Daniel Hasibuan decided to take on a pass first mentality considering it was his first appearance. He finished with a team high 3 assists to go along with 2 points. John Paras managed the eastern all stars but decided not to make an appearance.
