An interesting game in the 5:30 P.M. slot.....The GAC Alumni team looked to be in control early on but their opponent; interestingly named the "Uptown Dunk You Up" did their damage from behind the arc as they quickly closed the gap thanks to some timely three-point shooting that cut the GAC Alumni's advantage to a scant 21-19 count by the halftime break.  Things would be tight in the second half but the GAC Alumni team was able to open up a slight advantage coming down the stretch and appeared to be ready to close things out but a late rally by the Uptown Dunk You Up team knotted things up at 47-all by the end of regulation.  Uptown Dunk You Up's luck ran out in the extra two-minute session, however, as the group of former Gusties went on a 6-0 run to get the "W".  In the 6:25 P.M. game, the GAC Black team was able to run past the younger, less-experienced GAC Gold team by a relatively comfortable 24-point margin.  The 7:20 P.M. game featuring Northern State going up against another group of former Gusties; this team called "GAC Alumni + A Few" figured to be a good one and it was.  Neither team could gain a decisive advantage in the first half and the GAC Alumni + A Few squad held a precarious 25-24 halftime advantage.  In the second half, however, the GAC Alumni + A Few squad gradually opened up a lead; thanks to a barrage of three-pointers and damage in the paint by their strong front line.  Up 41-33 with 10:30 left, the GAC Alumni + A Few team stretched the lead to eleven at 50-39 with 6:15 left and maintained that double-digit edge down the stretch to claim a 61-49 victory.
