McGee and Pillsbury to Battle for the Championship of the Eastbay 7428 Shoot-Out

90045 - Rock Pillsbury, the Athletic Director of the top high school sports program in the country, Sierra Canyon School (Chatsworth), and his charity, The Harold and Carole Pump Foundation, may have been seeded #11, but they have performed like a top seed en route to the finals of the Eastbay 7428 Shoot-Out.

The Eastbay 7428 Shoot-Out matches up Sports Stories with Denny Lennon (SSDL) video podcast guests pre-interview basketball shots against one another in a 12-team single elimination tournament. The championship team (guest and charity) of the event, which will conclude on August 7th, will receive a $1000 Eastbay gift card for the charity.

Behind the scenes content, including post matchup interviews and promotional videos are available for free at www.patreon.com/DennyLennon. The Patreon link is also available at www.SportsStoriesPodcast.com.

In the opening round, Rock beat back the power of the military and the worldwide leader in sports to chalk up the win. Mike McKay, founder of The Heroes’ Movement, was promoted by popular ESPN anchor Neil Everett on Everett’s national radio show, but still came up short against the rock solid Rock.

In the quarterfinals, Rock made like Rocky and knocked out the Hall of Fame Ring announcer Jimmy Lennon, Jr., then laid down the law with a 70% to 30% semifinal victory over LMU athlete and attorney Wayne Boehle.

Now Rock will take on the #1 seed and the greatest franchise in sports history. Chris “Geeter” McGee, the popular MC from his days with the AVP pro beach volleyball tour and the current

studio host for the The Los Angeles Lakers, has teamed with Stillpoint Family Resources to dispatch of #GirlDad Scott Rice in the quarterfinals and volleyball legend Mike Boehle in the semifinals.

Geeter certainly will need the support of his charity, the AVP and the Lakers, as well as anything else he can muster to win the coveted Eastbay title. Rock has corralled the community of Sierra Canyon and the Pump Foundation along with his home state of Texas in racking up a tournament record amount of votes.

Interesting enough, the Eastbay championship may come down to the support of the King, as in in King James, LeBron James. Will LeBron through his support behind the franchise he plays for, the Lakers, or behind the school his son Bronny attends, Sierra Canyon?

The matchup for the championship begins on August 5th at 12pm (PT) and concludes August 7th at 12pm (PT).
