Pete played on the Wizards during the Winter 2011-12 basketball season of the Farmwell Station Basketball League.
His team went 1-9 in the regular season and then 4-0 in the playoffs, landing them a spot in the Championship game on Saturday March 3, 2012 at 12:30pm. It is difficult to think of an analogous situation, since it's hard to find too many pro leagues where you can go 1-9 and make the playoffs. The closest may be the 2005 Steelers, who beat the top 3 seeds on the road as a Wild Card in the AFC, and then won the Super Bowl.
In the Championship game against the Suns, Pete's team fought hard but lost 25-18. Pictured above are the players on the team (l-r): Coach Taoufiq Mekouar, Neil Bayya, Alex Nandury, Laith Mekouar, Travis Swann, Coach Leslie Swann, Brandon Battista, Brandon Rebok, Anis Shanneb, Pete, and Robbie Stewart.
Now it is time for Sam's playoffs to begin on Thursday March 8.
