YMCA Capital City League (CCL) Overall MVP Marial Shayok wasn’t present for Sunday night’s Championship game, but his Sparta Waste Services squad earned the 109-107 win.

Although, the victory did not come without controversy.

Doerrfeld Promotions’ Teyontae Jenkins made a three-pointer to trim his team’s deficit to two points with 14 seconds to play in the game.

Doerrfeld immediately fouled Sparta’s Malachi Canada and sent him to the line with 12.6 seconds left.

The scoreboard showed that Doerrfeld trailed 107-104, when it should have said 107-105.

One of the scorers noticed the error and was trying to fix it as Canada hit a free throw which made it a three-point game, with Sparta leading 108-105.

Amid the confusion, Jordan Stotts hit a three-pointer for Doerrfeld Promotions that tied the game, which is what the scoreboard showed. Though, it showed that the game was tied at 107 apiece.

Thinking that his team was down by one, Doerrfeld Promotions Coach Jason Swanson was screaming for his team to foul, and they did.

C.J. Rivers made two free throws with three seconds to go and Doerrfeld was unable to get a shot off on the way back to the hoop.

Sparta Waste Services would officially win their first championship.

Canada lead the way with 42 points, Iowa State’s Cameron Lard had 25, and league veteran Reed Mells shot 5-7 from downtown in route to 19.

Iowa State’s Terrence Lewis looked to have over-extended his knee when he went up for a lay-up with 3:12 to play in the contest.

Lewis tried to run it off, but eventually succumbed to the pressure and went to the ground for a brief amount of time.

After being looked at by a trainer, Lewis would sit out for the remainder of the game.

He walked out of the gym on his own power, with an ice-pack around his knee.

Lewis lead his team with 32 points.

The league just finished its 15th season helping local players get ready for their respective upcoming seasons as Solomon Young did last year.

Young played in the CCL before his freshman season in Ames, where he would bolster his defensive play to earn a spot in the starting lineup.

“[This season] was enjoyable,” Young said. “It’s just fun being out here. All the fans know who I am [this time around]. It gives us a chance to really work on stuff in the summer in competition.”

Young ended the day with 23 points.

Lard and his team left the gym as CCL tournament champions, and Lard had similar goals for this year’s Iowa State season.

“[We want to bring] home that Big 12 Conference Championship again,” Lard said.
