Ryan Logan

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

An interesting game for Boras (8-0) which hosted in Boras their biggest opponent Koping Stars (6-3). Top-ranked Boras managed to get a 14-point victory 84-70. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Koping Stars. Boras dominated down low during the game scoring 52 of its points in the paint compared to Koping Stars’ 28. American players dominated the game. Worth to mention a great performance of forward Ryan Logan (200-1994, college: Stonehill) who helped to win the game recording 23 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Guard Anton Cook (189-1995, college: SE Oklahoma) contributed with 26 points and 5 assists for the winners. Power forward Quatarrius Wilson (203-1996, college: SEMO) replied with 14 points and 7 rebounds for Koping Stars. Undefeated Boras have an impressive eight-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 8-0 record. Koping Stars at the other side dropped to the third place with three games lost. Boras are looking forward to face league’s second-placed BC Lulea on the road in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Koping Stars will play against Norrkoping and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Bottom-ranked Fryshuset is still unable to win any game. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their fifth consecutive match to ninth ranked Uppsala (2-6) 95-77. The former international forward Viktor Gaddefors (201-1992, agency: 011 Sports) scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) to lead the charge for the winners and Jordan Shepherd chipped in 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists during the contest. At the losing side Jamaican-Canadian point guard Jahmal Jones (185-1991, college: Ryerson) responded with 28 points (made all of his seven free throws). Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Newly promoted Uppsala maintains ninth position with 2-6 record. Fryshuset at the other side still closes the standings with five games lost. Uppsala will play against higher ranked Umea (#4) at home in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Fryshuset will play against Kalmar (#11) and hopes to get finally their first victory.
Bottom-ranked Kalmar is still unable to win any game. This time they lost on the road their eighth consecutive match to eighth ranked Jamtland (3-4) 85-60 on Saturday evening. Phil Carr notched 21 points and 7 rebounds (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field) to lead the effort. Even a double-double of 13 points and 12 rebounds by Jamaure Gregg did not help to save the game for Kalmar. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Jamtland moved-up to seventh place. Newly promoted Kalmar still closes the standings with eight games lost. Jamtland will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Kalmar will play against Fryshuset (#10) and looks forward to get finally their first victory.
