FEEDING FRENZY: Davon Black heads upcourt in action last year in the Princeton Recreation Department Summer Men’s Basketball League. This summer, former Princeton High standout Black has helped new league entry “Bring Me Food” get off to a hot start in its debut campaign. Last Friday, he scored 14 points to help the team beat SAT Smart 56-33. On Monday, Bring Me Food topped King’s Pizzarama 62-52 to improve to 5-0 (Photo by Frank Wojciechowski)

Davon Black acknowledges that the newly-formed “Bring Me Food” team wasn’t on the same page as it made its debut this June in the Princeton Recreation Department Summer Men’s Basketball League.

“Kyle Froehlich is a Princeton High senior this year who just graduated; he just made a business called Bring Me Food and he wanted to enter a team in the men’s summer league,” said former PHS hoops standout Black, adding that the business is a food delivery service app with five drivers.

“He told me to get five of my guys and he brought five of his guys. The first game was a big struggle, there are a lot of egos on the team and we couldn’t figure out who was going to bring the ball up.”

Bring Me Food won its opener 55-34 over Princeton Youth Sports on June 12 and things started to come together.

“In the second game, we figured out that I am going to bring the ball up and control the offense and not really score as I have been used to scoring,” said Black, a 2012 PHS alum.

“This team has eight guys who can put it up. If I have to lower my scoring to win, that is what I am going to do.”

Featuring an inside-out game with Bert McCallum and Lior Levy providing yeomen’s work in the paint along with Kevin Kane and Nick Davidson producing from the perimeter, Bring Me Food has been piling up the wins.

Last Friday, the team pulled away from SAT Smart/Princeton Soup and Sandwich 56-33, starting the second half with a 26-13 run to win its fourth straight game on the season.

“We found a groove; Kevin (Kane) has played in the league for four years with the high school team, he is a good shooter,” said Black, who scored 14 points in the win over SAT Smart with Kane tallying 15 on five 3-pointers and McCallum chipping in 11.

“I told him to have confidence. Bert is a monster down low, they didn’t have anyone to stop him. Lior is also good. It is inside-out, we are playing good ball.”

As Bring Me Food, which topped King’s Pizzarama 62-52 last Monday in improving to 5-0, heads into the second half of the regular season, Black is confident that it can contend for a championship.

“We are a different team than what I have brought to the park recently; I have tried to play with my friends from PHS, that was more fun basketball,” said Black, noting that he has enrolled at Mercer County Community College and is planning to play for its men’s basketball team under head coach Howard Levy, a former Princeton hoops standout and assistant coach.

“Now this year, we are looking to make a push. We are young and hungry. We have the young legs. We are coming for a title.”
