There is no love lost between the Acme Redmen and the DVSS Dynos and last Monday night the battle played out again.
The Dynos topped the Redmen just a couple of weeks ago at their home tournament. On Monday, January 30 they met in Acme for league play.
“The game was a repeat of the two teams’ first match up, going back and forth with either team unable to pull away,” said coach Jeff Messom.
Down the stretch, Acme had a five-point advantage, and looked like they were pulling away. That was until Kyle Smith stepped up with some big shots, and even bigger free throws, to tie the game at 69 each.
With three seconds left, the Dynos made a key defensive stop and gained possession for a chance to win. Acme’s tight defense didn’t let that happen, forcing overtime.
In the extra minutes, the Redmen were able to put together some key offense while the Dynos struggled, and Acme went on to win 82-73.
Smith had 26 points on 11 for 16 shooting, Jordan Britton had 15 points and Alex Cliche had 14 points and seven rebounds.
League play for the Dynos continued Wednesday night as they hosted Trochu. It was a one sided affair as it took until the second quarter before Trochu made it on to the scoreboard. Jordan Britton led the way with 24 points on 66 per cent shooting the dynos defeated Trochu 91-20.
