Not much to report this week ... other than the reports.
Here are some great sports moments ... surprised our Intercol clean sweep isn't in there.
To the reports:
A's v Knightsbridge A - With no Orks (Melbourne), Tauny (knee) and Phil (shopping), Dangerous Stu was called into the A's lineup. The A's went up 17-0 - Knightsbridge are well over matched. Foo, Jack and Corey were scoring at ease. Reds up 29-7. Second half was a training drill Knightsbridge were getting a few crafty baskets but they would struggle in the B Grade. Foo and Jack were getting to the basket time and time again, Stu hit a 3 and Liam was just getting behind the D and getting layups. Reds win 71-25. Jack 22, Foo had his career high with 21 and Liam 13.
B's v Gateway A - At halftime the 2 teams had played out a close contest - Reds down 17-21. Kartik came off the bench and scored in the lane and hit a 3, Gus kept up his good from from Intercol and was everywhere around the basket and Jono hit a runner and couple of FTs. The B's were not getting to the 3's and Gateway/Somerton were getting open-ish jumpers (and they will kill you if you allow that). 2nd half - Horskins arrived and killed it - nailing tough jumpers and 3's, Kerwin hit a stupid 3 and this good shooting allowed Smith to get open low and he made teh B's pay. Reds kept it close - Jono was out on the break, Mike banked a short j and Manners hit a 3 but Gateway had too many weapons. Lost 34-47. Jono 15, Gus 8, Kartik 5.
C's v Southwest A - Written by G - Round 11 we were up against cellar dwellers Southwest Baptist A. We’ve played against them twice and beaten the both times but neither were overly convincing, one being the second game of the double weekend. Having only 5 we decided to go with a 2-1-2 zone and extend out to the shooters. The first half with some good ball movement, inside outside and around the perimeter, we were able to get good looks and keep the score ticking over. So good defence also allowed us to get on the fast break a few times. We went in at half time up 23-13. With Southwest scoring 9/13 points from 3 we made it our objective to not let them have any more. We kept the good ball movement going in the second half and kept running the fast break. Our defence held them to only 10 for the second half, and scoreless for the first 9 minutes. Brad had a great game with some phenomenal finishes around the basket and on fast breaks. We went 5/10 from the FT line for our 2nd 50% game of the year.
D's v Taperoo A - The D's welcomed back Ned ... they have yet to welcome Palky's jumpshot as it has yet to play a game. Taperoo started in a man ... it might have been the worst man I have ever seen - they took it off when we got up 12-3 and we were getting any shot we wanted. Stu and Ned were getting the basket with ease and either finishing or getting the foul - Reds up 22-8 at halftime with Ned and Stu having 20. 2nd half became the Frangers Show - Frangs was getting out on the break, crashing the O boards and getting putbacks, cutting to the basket and finishing. Reds D was amazing - anchored by Road Train and Kobe. We won 45-18 - Ned had 17, Stu 11 and Brendon 12 (all the 2nd half).
E's v Spicer - Written by Rough Justice - After a few weeks playing the better teams in the grade coupled with absences and injuries meant the E's went out looking to rebuild the momentum started early in the season. One can only describe Spicer (bottom of the ladder) as the hapless victims in the healing process for the E's. It was a free for all - most of the game they didn't get the ball more than a metre within the 3-point line. The guards were working hard on their "ball carriers", with plenty of transition opportunities. A quiet 18 from B-Rad and 17 from Bubs*, just short of Max at 20pts, who having discovered his shooting arm nailed** x6 triples... he was heard muttering his disgust at the lack of respect his shot was getting. Good moral game for the team, though evidently without the satisfaction of a tough fought win. If anything it was a little like a catching a baby deer in your headlights and running it over (in a tank). Win 70 - 9.
* - not bad given how seedy he was looking post Old Scholars dinner and his catching % for the game...
** - includes x1 bollocks bank
F's v St Casmir A - F's won on forfeit.
G's v Northgate A - NO REPORT. Lost 23-60. Reid 7, Troy and Charlie 6.
Lady Reds v Taperoo A - NO REPORT. Win 31-26. Claire 9, Georgie 8, Alicia 7.
