Desert Knights are a shell of themselves in D1. The once dominant side with blowout wins in D2, which led them to clinch the championship is tasting their own medicine.

Desert Knights were known then as a physical side. Their style of play was similar to that of the 90’s Detroit Pistons.
With that regards, expectations were high in their first season. Unfortunately, they crashed in the first round, unable to make the playoffs.
This season is a déjà vu as it stands.
Per the league first round ends today, they would be unable yet again to make the playoffs.
David Hallowangar was the only one who came to work to score in double digit. He dropped 11PTS to go along with six rebounds.
Marshall, Ruben had a rough shooting night. He was guided well and wasn’t able to get open looks. His three attempts from behind the arc yielded nothing.
Reuben is shooting 20.9% this season from long range.
The Invincible Eleven & Majestic Sports Association Basketball Team on the other hand came to do work!
With the victory, I.E. is now 2-4 this season and just made it into playoff contention.
Shaun Eastman and Eugene Fahnbulleh both combined to score 31 points. They were the only players from their team in double figure.
Yorgbo Kromah showed some of his flashing skills and contributed 8PTS, 2REB and a steal, coming off the bench. His trademark celebration always had the fans in attendance jubilating.
Hopefully this victory for the winner might turn the tide in their campaign for supremacy in the division.
