Oakland, CA - In a thrilling matchup, the Fresno Mad Dogs (1-6) clinched their inaugural victory, triumphing over the Oakland Renegades (3-4) in a 93-85 win at the packed Oakland Arena. The game featured a historic performance from Oakland's Alonzo Reece, who set a new Cali Championship Hoops single-game scoring record with an astounding 43 points.

Reece was in the zone throughout the game, shooting 60% from the field, including 67% from beyond the arc. His 43-point outburst surpassed the previous record of 41 points set by Dorell Kabal of the Sacramento Stallions. Despite his remarkable display, Reece remained humble, stating, "I'd trade all 43 points for a win, but this is a night I'll never forget."

However, the Mad Dogs' victory was a team effort, with three players scoring in double figures. Lamar Anderson led the charge with 30 points on an efficient 57% shooting. Dell Nelson contributed 11 points and 6 rebounds, while Melvin Cassell added 13 points and nine boards. Fresno dominated the rebounding battle, outmuscling Oakland 32-20 and capitalizing with a 34-26 advantage in points in the paint.

The Renegades displayed solid teamwork with 17 assists, but it wasn't enough to counter Fresno's balanced attack. Dakoulas Alexandris provided support with 15 points and six rebounds.

"This win means everything to our franchise and fans," expressed an emotional Anderson postgame. "We've been working so hard, so to finally break through with this first victory is incredible. Hopefully, this is just the start of something special."

While Alonzo Reece left his mark on the record books, the night belonged to the Mad Dogs. Fresno's collective effort proved decisive, overcoming Reece's exceptional performance and securing a milestone win for the franchise.

In a move that is sending shockwaves through Cali Championship Hoops, the San Diego Strykers have agreed to trade the disgruntled Coby Spencer to the Long Beach Vipers in exchange for power forward Earl Jenkins and an unprotected second-round draft pick.

This deal represents the first player trade in the history of the league. But it's the circumstances surrounding Spencer's departure from San Diego that is garnering even more attention.

Tensions had been rising with the 19-year-old Spencer, who sources say had grown unhappy with his situation and role under Strykers head coach Jake Thomas. Insider Molly Qerim was the first to drop the bombshell news on Twitter, stating: "San Diego might have to move Coby Spencer who sources say isn't happy. Last thing you need is a cancer in the locker room. #CutYourLosses"



Despite putting up 8.3 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, Spencer's production was overshadowed by reports of his discontent and disruptive behavior behind the scenes. Rather than let the situation potentially become an even bigger distraction and divide the locker room, San Diego made the difficult decision to cut ties via trade.

The Long Beach Vipers are taking a calculated gamble that a change of scenery could be Spencer's wake-up call to regain his motivation and harness his immense talent on the court. But if the attitude issues persist, they surrendered very little asset-wise to acquire the young forward.

This historic first trade has rocked the Cali Championship Hoops world and could have long-lasting ripple effects across the league. Both franchises are banking that this deal will improve their respective chemistry and trajectories moving forward.

All eyes will be on Spencer and how he responds after this wake-up call trade. One thing is certain - this unprecedented deal has added a compelling new layer of drama to the inaugural season.

Jenkins head to San Diego averaging 6.0 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. The Stykers and Vipers are scheduled to face off on December 23rd (franchise date).

In response to recent rumors, Cali Championship Hoops Commissioner Ray Lenearl has come forward to support young star Coby Spencer, stating, "A heated situation got blown out of proportion, he's not a cancer." The commissioner's comments follow a trade that sent Spencer from the San Diego Strykers to the Long Beach Vipers for power forward Earl Jenkins.

The trade, the first of its kind in the league's history, was surrounded by speculation about Spencer's attitude and behavior. However, after the story broke, Spencer immediately reached out to Lenearl looking to clear his name and set the record straight.

"Coby is a talented player with a bright future ahead of him," Lenearl continued. "We believe that a change of scenery could benefit him, and we're confident that he will continue to grow and develop in Long Beach."



During their brief conversation, Spencer expressed his desire to focus on his game. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to play in Long Beach," Spencer said. "I want to show everyone I'm here to contribute and be a positive presence on and off the court."

While the former Stryker also admitted to a heated discussion with head coach Jake Thomas over issues with his coaching system and the number of minutes played, he claims he never intended to make the issue public.

"Someone in the office overheard our argument from outside and leaked our conversation to the media," explained Spencer. "Despite all that, I wish San Diego the best. They gave me the opportunity to play pro ball and I will forever be grateful. I look forward to this fresh start and leaving all the drama in the past.”

As the league continues to evolve, Commissioner Lenearl's support sends a clear message that Cali Championship Hoops is committed to supporting its players and fostering a positive and competitive environment for all.

Jenkins played his final game for Long Beach last night, recording 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists in the Vipers' 88-75 loss to the California Reds.
