Favourite Day of the Week

Yes, I have a bad case of Mondayitis. Every week. Its also my favourite day to blog about. Its probably not hard to guess why, but we had basketball last night. And, as promised, we came away with a win. So here is my amateurish review of the night:


Player of the week: Dwayne Wade, aka Lachlan Cudmore. We should start calling him the flash cos he is quicker in transition than Tom is to a chick's 16th birthday party. He had more steals than Jarryd has women on the go, and too much poise and class for any opposition, let alone the inexperienced Saints White.
Honourable Mentions: Brock Monck (see overwhleming stats below), Tony Page (5 points including a 3, a block and a handful of rebounds in his 20 mins)

Play of the Week: Without a doubt, Lachie's rejection to gather to falling out of court to pass to teammate. I didnt see it, but everyone basically got their junk out about it so it must have been okay!
Honourable mentions: Pageys first three-pointer (after a minor travel), and our team's press which forced them 8 seconds in the backcourt.

I also got my brother and Sean and his friend Alex to count a couple of our stats for us, and he ended up taking Mine, Brock's and Kelly's. Here they are:

Brock: 16pts, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 0 from 4 at free throw, 0 steals, 61.5% shooting and 31.5 mins

Kelly: 7 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 from 2 at free throw, 2 steals, 50.0% shooting and 30.5 mins

Alex: 8 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 0 from 1 at three point, 1 steal, 44.4% shooting and 26 mins

We will try and take them over the next few weeks aswell, to get some idea of what a good game is for us individually. Anyway, we knew these guys were an average team of great guys so we started off playing a little stupidly. but after the timeout at 12 - 16, we kept them scoreless until halftime at 12 - 34. We tried the press for a bit but it was a bit rusty, and our turnovers increased, but so did theirs and we ended up with a few fast breaks from it. Final score was 26 - 72, our highest ever score in A-Grade basketball to date.

Well, thats all i have. We play last years finalists (and fossils) YCW Stingers on tuesday night next week. By all means come on down, but remember to turn off your flashes when youre taking photos of us....
