MBL Champs Crowned, Gibbs & Smith Lead the Rooferees to Victory

MBL Finals: Rooferees 70, Winning Mentality 61

Former Creighton Bluejay Grant Gibbs scored 14 points, Andre Smith had 14 points, and Derek Fletcher had 13 points including a couple dagger 3-pointers down the stretch as the Rooferees took home the Metro Basketball League summer league title, 71-60, over Winning Mentality at the Omaha Sports Academy on Thursday night.

The game started off in a flash as both teams went back and forth early. After sinking free-throws to get things going, Winning Mentality’s Deverell Biggs scored the first 8 points for his squad and eventually 11 of their first 16 points, but were down to the Rooferees with 20-16 with 12:30 left in the first half.
