Match of the Week
CROCKERS vs. Rampaging Marmots 101 - 100 ((
(35545792)))
This was a match between two great teams that resulted in a nailbiting finish! Tactics were a little unusual for both teams in my opinion but the suspense created as a result makes it worth it! This tantalising battle between these two juggernauts remained close the entire match, and as they exchanged blow for blow they found themselves tied entering the infamous last quarter! The scores were tied with 1 second remaining on the clock but a shooting foul at the very last second gave Crockers two free attempts to win the match. Just to keep the suspense up Crocker's player missed the first free throw which caused a thunderous roar of excitement from the Marmots' fans, but as Crocker's player readied himself for his second free throw he blocked out the noise, concentrated, and made the basket that demoralised the Marmots beyond repair. A brilliant game with a photo finish!
3. R. McPhail (C) - McPhail was the top scorer for the match with an efficient 27 points, which combined with 10 rebounds and 6 assists easily makes him the man of this match. His name might be McPhail, but tonight he was McSuccess!
2. T. Rice (RM) - Rice performed fantastically for the Marmots with 22 points and 4 rebounds in only 34 minutes. Shooting with over 80% efficiency it crushed the Marmots when the bribed referees gave him his 6th and final foul causing him to have to leave the court and leave the fate of the match in the hands of his teammates.
1. D. Gardner (RM) - Gardner was the equal top scorer for the Rampaging Marmots and managed to score 24 points with 60% efficiency, but in addition he managed to get 22 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals making him the worthy recipient of this final MVP point.
JW City Bulls vs. Northcote Slammers 93 - 99 (35545795)In what was a desperate battle of 2 winless teams looking to get on the board, Northcote (Kevin) beat the JW City Bulls (Sharks) in what was a thrilling match decided right down to the final minutes. Both teams played Outside offensive tactics but Northcote's better Defence cancelled out any advantage the bulls had gained as possibly the better offensive teamt to squeek over the line. This game was close throughout with Northcote turning back a 2 point 3q time deficit to win the last quarter 39-31.
3. P. Masetti (Northcote) - Masetti was the MVP of this matchup scoring 30 points on 13-23 shooting whilst pulling in 19 boards. Masetti is showing his vote catching performances in last seasons Outcast league were no fluke.
