Season Summary:

Grizz Gaming’s 2018 season was a roller coaster ride that displayed serious highs and some disappointing lows. They finished the regular season with a 6-8 record which was good for 10th place in the league. Their offense showed great potential, fueled by AuthenticAfrican who averaged 26.4 PPG and holds the single game scoring record with a ridiculous 84 points scored in Week 10 against 76ers GC. The highs were matched by lows unfortunately, as Grizz Gaming failed to advance passed the 1st round of any tournament.

Returning for Grizz Gaming in 2019 is leading scorer and assist leader, AuthenticAfrican (26.4 PPG & 9.3 APG) as well as rebounds leader UniversalPhenom who averaged 7.0 rebounds per game. Bringing back two of their biggest offensive contributors should provide the Grizz with some consistency as they head into the 2019 season which they will greatly need if they want to establish themselves as playoff contenders.
