Jacob Peterson Is A Dream League Glass Cleaner
Each week, we search through our 360 media coverage to highlight the week that was in Ultimate Hoops Leagues.
Jacob Peterson trying to secure a rebound
Our player spotlight this week comes from the Dream League, where a record was tied this week. Jacob Peterson recorded 21 rebounds for the Yellow Jackets in a 91-81 loss to the Griffins. It ties him with John Hoven and Walter Ford, who each had 21 in a game in the 2017 season. It's the second week in a row where a Dream League record has been tied/broken. Last week, Travis Johnson had eight steals for the Polars in an 82-78 win over the Yellow Jackets, a new Dream League record.
Milestones
Bryant Marmol
A quick update on a milestone race that was brought up on this week's Ultimate Hoops Podcast. Bryan Munsell and Bryant Marmol, two players in Minnesota, each had 993 threes as of Thursday. Marmol hit three three-pointers in Fridley on Thursday night, putting him at 996. Munsell has a game on Monday in the Dream League. If he doesn't hit seven threes on Monday, then it will come down to Wednesday night in Bloomington South, when they both play.
There were a couple milestones set in Las Vegas this week regarding games played, and one about to be set this week.
Kenny McNeil and William Holvoet both played in their 250th game this week in Vegas. McNeil's 250th game was in the Green Valley Vet league, while Holvoet's came in the Summerlin Rec league.
Bryan Munsell
Kerry Knoll is about to have 200 games on both McNeil and Holvoet when he plays in his 450th game on Monday in Summerlin. Knoll has averaged 18.2 points and 6.6. rebounds over the course of his career.
If everything goes according to plan for Brandon Walker, he could win his 250th game in his UH career on Monday in Tempe. He has 249 currently, and he'll have three chances at getting to 250 next week.
