CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW):  It was a dramatic night of Basketball at the venue dubbed “The Jungle” on Cherry Avenue.  The Tonsler League has lit up the courts at Tonsler Park all season long in a year to remember.   

On Sunday, playoff action began in front a crowd that packed the park to the limit.  Eight teams took to the concrete looking to advance to the final next week.   

The team of the season, Elite Company, who won all eight regular season contests they played in, took on the #8 seed Mamba Mentality.  Mamba began the game looking strong, catching the Teal and Orange by surprise but it did not take long for the company to get into gear and win a convincing victory.  

 An hour later, a battle of #3 vs #6, Takeover vs Team Lake, took place.  Lake had several veteran stars show their quality all season long, but it would not be enough to knock Takeover off, and they advanced to the next round.   

Supreme Skillz and Ballyworld played next.  They are two squads who have played many tight, contentious games against one another.  This one was no exception, but Ballyworld came out on top. 

  Lastly, Splikak looked to extend its winning streak against Hitlist.  Sadly for Splikak, their streak ended at 6, with Hitlist moving through to the next round.   

  Two games to play this Thursday, Ballyworld vs Elite Company at 6:30, and Takeover vs Hitlist at 7:30.  All games are free and open to the public.
