Evenflow boots out Brothers in ‘Gorilla’

Evenflow is now the king of “Gorilla Games” in the World Organized Rocball Community League after beating Ghasias Brothers in overtime, 109-101, Saturday at the Marianas High School Gymnasium.

The Evenflow-Ghasias Brothers tiff was the second match in the “Gorilla Games,” which is a unique side event for the Rocball league and is played every two weeks

“Gorilla” started early this month with league champion Ghasias Brothers earning the right to play in the first game against a picked challenger.

The Okies took the challenge, but came short losing to the Brothers in double overtime, 84-108.

The victory allowed Ghasias Brothers to keep the “Gorilla,” win the $50 cash prize for the day, and meet the next challenger.

The second game in the “Gorilla” went into overtime, but this time Ghasias Brothers were on the losing end.

Thanks to Mariano Lisua, who canned a goal off a serve giving Evenflow a 10-2 victory in the first set o-kon.

The Evenflow-Ghasias Brothers match went into overtime after the regulation ended at 99-all.

With neither team having the lead after four sets, Rocball rules state only one set overtime will decide the match. Had the game not ended in a tie, the trailing team must win two sets overtime, while the leading squad needs only one set.

The first team to score 10 points or a goal wins a set in overtime.

In Evenflow’s case, Lisua did both, as his team was ahead, 7-2, when he knocked down the winning goal.

Evenflow was off to a hot start taking a 26-16 win in the opening set.

Ghasias Brothers regrouped in the second set and found their rhythm en route to a close 26-25 triumph to cut Evenflow’s lead to single digit, 42-51.

The defending Rocball league champions moved within five, 71-76, going into the fourth set after a come-from-behind 29-25 triumph in the third set.

Ghasias Brothers cruised to their third straight set victory after a 28-23 win in the fourth set. But their five-point winning margin was not enough to allow them to juice out Evenflow and retain the “Gorilla.”

In Rocball, a juiced-out win is only handed to a team, which wins the fourth set and at the same time holds the lead after the regulation.

Ghasias Brothers’ five-point win over Evenflow in the fourth set only tied the game at 99-all, and the former failed to pick up where it left off losing in the first set o-kon.

The third game in the “Gorilla” will be played next Saturday with Evenflow as host.

Ghasias Brothers will join Okies for a month-long vacation before they are allowed to become challengers in the “Gorilla Games.”
