Playoffs Championship Final – Winter/Spring 2010
SWAT 115 – Heart, Hustle & Soul 98
Congratulations to SWAT Team for winning the Vancouver Metro League Championship Thursday night, their first in four years of their Metro League existence with a 115-98 win over Heart, Hustle & Soul.
In what was a close game throughout the first thirty minutes of action, soon turned into a lopsided affair with SWAT’s defense setting the tone for SWAT’s vaunted offense to take control. H.H.S.’s Jason Birring’s 44 points kept his squad in throughout, but SWAT’s efficiency on the glass helped break the game wide open in SWAT’s favor late in the second half. Up 85-79 with 8:58 remaining, SWAT’s top-scorer Clayton Crellin dropped a tough and-one drive to the bucket which opened the flood gates for SWAT. SWAT went on 13-4 run from there on and never looked back, securing their first ever Metro League title.
Crellin’s 34 points led SWAT to the victory earning him his second Metro League chip after earning his first as a member of Canada One last season. Crellin also earned MVP honors after yet another brilliant season for the young 20 year-old.
SWAT’s perfect season stays in tack at 12-0 while Heart, Hustle & Soul are still searching for their first Metro League title.
Top Scorers:
SWAT – Clayton Crellin (34 points), Clint Lomax (20 points) & Chris Peerless (18 points).
Heart, Hustle & Soul – Jason Birring (44 points), Mark Tasic (21 points) & Karlo Villaneuva (12 points).
