TWO FOR SIXTY SIX

santa horst — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:00:47 +0000

The last regular season weekend of H.I.T.S was on this past weekend with playoff spots at stake. P.R. Pride/K1X needed a win and another great scoring outburst from the the starting back court. the past few weeks have included NBA players Marcus Williams, Andre Barret and of course Kenny “Sirius Sattelite” Satterfield. What the combo be this week? …..

Kenny Sat and ………. (drumroll please) C-Viz?? Who the !? Thats right, due to game conflicts, the team was short of players and got help from the k1x corporate division, cesar vizcarrondo, who had to step in and start with K-Sat until the cavlary got there. Much to the surprise of the crowd C-Viz aka “The Sponsor” started the game with a two handed tip dunk and never stopped getting buckets. It must have been the shoes, K-Sat rockin the PR Edition Strictly Bizzness and C-Viz with the CG 2′s, that led the duo to finish with a combined 66 points! C-viz finished with 36 points 11 boards, while K-Sat had 30. despite the crazy performances, PR Pride came up short a and will now have a play-in game to determine if they will make it to the playoffs at the beach this weekend.

RON RON AT HITS

tseitz — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:38:35 +0000

NEW HOUSTON ROCKET RON ARTEST MAKES HITS DEBUT WITH BINGOS ALL-STARS.

Saturday was a rainy day at Sun Stadium. That didn’t stop “True Warrior” Ron Artest, the newly acquired Houston Rocket, from stepping onto the courts at Hoops in the Sun Sunday afternoon and making his HITS debut vs Team 914, in which both teams were battling for playoff positioning.

Bingo’s All-Stars, who already had MVP candidate Mike Glover on the low box, brought in Artest to create an amazing front court tandem. Glover, who posted up 51 points vs R2K Saturday afternoon, was looking for another monster game, and he didn’t disappoint.

Artest checked into the game with roughly six minutes remaining in the first quarter,looking to find his rhythm in his first game at HITS. Just like Marcus Williams of PR Pride/K1X and now the Golden State Warriors, it took Artest a while to get accustomed to the beach setting. Team 914, not worrying about Artest, had Will Cadiz making everything he threw up at the rim, even scoring on Artest on one defensive possession. Team 914 had the lead going into halftime 50-45, but the second half is where everything started to heat up.

Glover took his game to another level in the second half, hearing from the announcers that he was a MVP candidate. He had 51 the day before and almost repeated that mark Sunday afternoon by racking up 49 points and 22 rebounds. At least six to seven consecutive possessions the ball was in Glover’s hands, either drawing a foul on Team 914 or making the basket for a three-point play. Both teams were tied at 102-102 with two seconds remaining. Bingo’s All-Stars threw the ball away on the inbounds pass, which never touched anyone’s hands. Still with two seconds remaining, Team 914 was called for a five second violation. STILL, with two seconds remaining in regulation, Bingo’s All-Stars tried to win the game on a three-pointer but was unsuccessful. The game was sent into overtime.

Both teams knew this was a very important game for playoff possibilities and neither team wanted to go down in defeat. With Glover fouling out early in the overtime session, many were turning for Artest to take over in the extra session. But it was Curtis Stinson and Keydren Clark who came up big for Bingo’s All-Stars, hitting key three-point shots to put Bingo up for good and eventually knocking off Team 914 in overtime 116-110.

Ron Artest finished the game with 26pts, 16rbs 6asts and 2 stls. Not bad for a day at the beach.

K1X WINS HITS ALL STAR GAME

tseitz — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:53:16 +0000

The 2008 HITS All-Star Game more than lived up to the billing – it was the number one spot to be this Sunday, July 20. With the weather in the upper 90′ies, crowds galore and the best players in the city, there was no choice but to put on a spectacular showcase for the fans.

K1X All-Stars were loaded with Darren Phillip, Rick Apodaca, Special EFX, Cory Underwood, A-Money, Kason Mims, Jiggy Josh Watkins, Panama Kirkland and Stixx Williams, while the HITS All-Stars included Antwan Dobie, Kenny Satterfield, Smush Parker and Justin Burrell.

K1X All-Stars, led by Hoops in the Sun Hall of Famer Darren “Primal Fear” Phillip, defeated the HITS All-Stars 110-106. The Fear led the way with 25 points and 12 rebounds, taking home All-Star Game MVP honors for the second time in his career. HITS All-Stars started off strong in the first quarter, going up 30-20, with eventually leading 51-44 at the half. (Watch the attached clip to see Coach Bernard Bowen’s flaming half time speach!) DP took over in the third, as he scored 16 points in the quarter for the K1X All-Stars.

HITS All-Stars began to make their run in the fourth but it was little too late. Missed free throws and fumbled key opportunities cost them the win. K1X All-Stars, with the help of James “Stix” Williams (22 points and 10 rebounds) and the timely shooting of Rick Apodaca closed out the deal at another fantastic HITS mid summer classic.

Big shout to Randy & Joe Cruz for making HITS such a success – K1X is proud to be part of the fam!

NBA STARS HIT BEACH

santa horst — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 13:29:45 +0000

here’s a bulletin of this weekend’s happeings at the beach, by h.i.t.s. ceo randy cruz:

As if PR Pride/K1X couldn’t pull out something new out of their bag of tricks, they did it again Saturday afternoon vs Money Train. The 2-1 PR Pride/K1X squad took on the 1-2 Money Train Saturday afternoon in another high scoring affair. a couple of minutes of the first quarter, in came Andre Barrett with former UConn and current New Jersey Nets star Marcus Williams. It didn’t take long for Barrett and Williams to sub into the game and join Satterfield in the three guarded backcourt. Money Train didn’t look worried about the Prides’ NBA triangle offense as Antawn Dobie and Corey “The Undertaker” took matters into their own hands. With Money Train up by five points at the half, 53-48, it looked to everyone in the crowd that the Pride was in for a very serious battle. It does take a while for a player, especially a NBA player to get accustomed to the outdoor environment HITS presents with the heat and wind coming from the beach, and Marcus Williams finally started to settle down in the second half. Trying to find his niche’ in the first half, Williams started looking for his shot and caught an awareness of who he was playing with in the second half. Becoming a playmaker and making some outrageous passes to his teammates Barrett and Satterfield officially introduced Marcus Williams into the Hoops in the Sun fray. Money Train made the game interesting. Keeping the lead until the six minute mark in the fourth quarter, PR Pride/K1X started to make their run and by the time you looked at the scoreboard, they were on pace for a fourth straight 100 plus point scoring game. “The Undertaker” poured in 31 points and a game high 18 rebounds for his Money Train squad, as well as Antawn Dobie pouring in 29 points and 6 assists but the NBA triangle offense became too much for the Train to handle in the fourth quarter as PR Pride/K1X pulled away with a 127-125 victory, going to 3-1 on the season. Kenny Satterfield finished with 36 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds. Andre Barrett finished with 32 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and newcomer to HITS, Marcus Williams finished with 26 points, 11 assists and 4 rebounds. Shagari Alleyne for PR Pride/K1X recorded a triple double with 12 points, 13 rebounds and a new HITS record of 17 blocks.

SATTERFIELD & BARRETT GO FOR 60 PLUS IN 4th OF JULY WEEKEND CLASSIC at Hoops in the sun…

Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks can’t compare to the spectacle displayed Saturday afternoon in a monumental hoops in the sun classic between PR Pride/K1X and Hoop Street.

A week prior to this game, the infamous “The Cab Driver” broke “Serious Satellite” Kenny Satterfield’s scoring record at “The Beach” with 65 points. A first guess would indicate that Satterfield didn’t take the news very well and looked to set things straight quickly…

PR Pride/K1X (incl. K-Sat & L.A. Clipper Andre Barret), after losing in a shootout last week against Bingo’s All-Stars, took the indoor-floor vs. Hoop Street. Both teams came in looking for their first victory of the season and those who stayed in the city for the holiday weekend were rewarded with an all-time classic. it quickly became apparent that this would be a high scoring affair with both teams tied at 44 at the end of the first quarter. PR Pride/K1X led Hoop Street 88-73 at halftime (!!) with Satterfield posting up 36 points while Barrett had 29. Satterfield took the back seat to his teammate in the third quarter letting Barrett go to work. But all hell broke loose in the fourth as both players hit shot after shot after shot. Layups, NBA three-pointers and Joe Dumars-like in-your-face buckets were handed out like business cards. Obviously all players and the buzzing crowd realized they were witnessing history in the making.

With less than a minute remaining, Satterfield (65 points) hit a three point bomb that sent the crowd into a frenzy giving him 68 points for the game and breaking “The Cab Driver’s” 7 day-old scoring record. Barrett, who had 63 points with two seconds remaining, hit a three point shot from the corner as time expired giving him 66 points for the game and capping the afternoon off with an historical 178-165 victory over Hoop Street.

But there were more records broken besides Satellites new scoring milestone (68 pts): PR Pride/K1X scored the most points by a team in a game (178), both teams combined for the most total points (353), PR Pride/K1X scored the most points by a team in a half (88), Satterfield broke the record for most three-point shots made by a player in a game (11) and PR Pride/K1X now owns the record for the most three-point shots made by a team in a game (23). Not bad for a days work!
