The Syracuse Stallions are a force to be reckoned with in The Basketball League.

On Friday night in the TBL semifinals, they secured a sweep of the Indy Express, proving without a doubt that they should have moved up from the ABA last season.

It wasn't necessarily an easy road in front of the home fans at Bishop Grimes. In fact, the Stallions were trailing at halftime.

West Genny product Mike Henry got the crowd on their feet with a couple of quick threes late in the fourth quarter, which tied the game and then gave Syracuse the lead.

He also had a huge steal to put a bow on the contest.
