Caleb Weatherspoon scored 22 with 13 assists while Randal Lyne scored 18 with 8 rebounds.

    The Cloud move on to face the Moles in the semi-finals.

  • Cloud Catastrophe gives Fire Ants win to even series

    The game was basically unwinnable for the Cloud who succumbed to the Fire Ants 105-84. The series is now tied 2-2 as the Cloud go back home to try once again to close the series out.

    The Cloud lost Jared Isaacs in the first half after an incredible 6 fouls in just 12 minutes of play. Then things got worse when Cecil Frueh left with an injury, and probably won't be back until the next round of the playoffs... if the Cloud can hold on to make it there. Luckily the teams bench is deep but they will have to play a phenomenal game to have a chance to move on.

  • Do or Die Game 5 for Fire Ants/Cloud

    The Fire Ants won the first, the Cloud won the next two, then the Fire Ants rounded it out with a game 4 win at home even the series up 2-2. The #3 seeded Cloud were the favorite to take it all, and may still be going back home for the final game, but they are missing a crucial player in Cecil Frueh who dropped 46 points earlier in the series. They are however probably the deepest team in the league including all-star and points leader Jared Isaacs, three point threat Randall Madera, solid center Randal Lyne, Caleb Weatherspoon, assist master at the point and role player Jackie Porcaro who steps in for Frueh at the other forward spot.

    The Fire Ants sport a deep bench as well but heavily rely on all-star center Israel Jacoby to set the tone of the game. A win will come down to wether Evan Wile and Gregory Cushing are able to step up with big games to give the team the boost they will need on the road.

  • Frueh lights it up with a career best 46

    The Cloud came out fast against the Fire Ants on their way to a 123-90 victory and 2-1 series lead. Just one victory away from the semi-finals where they will meet either the Moles or Ice Monkeys.

    Cecil Frueh lit up the scene hitting 16 shots on 26 attempts for a career high 46 points, and just off the pace of 48 set by Jared Isaacs for the franchise record. Isaacs scored 29 in the win. Randall Madera left with an injury after just 7 minutes.

    The Fire Ants will need to dig deep and get Israel Jacoby going as he has been putting up a dismal 5.3 rebounds in the playoffs. Evan Wile did score 30 for the team with 9 boards and 6 assists in the losing effort.
