F'Ville vs Tigers
Eagles girls got up over the Tigers tonight, 92-75. Tigers led 32-23 at the Q time break, but a 26-11 3rd Q from F'Ville was too much.
Narelle Lindsay hit 29 points on 12/23 FGs, while Deanne Ranford had 27, while adding 6 rebounds & 4 assists. Cherie Smith notched a double double with 17 points & 11 boards and Kylie Newbold pulled down 16 rebounds.
For the Tigers, Peddle had 20 points, including 4 3s (2 big ones in the last Q!) Tam Birbeck had 19 points and Simone Nelson had 17 (only 7/22 FGs though).
Seems the biggest difference in the stats was rebounds (62-37 F'Villes way) and shots taken (84-65 Eagles).
In the guys the Eagles got up 103-93. Eagles were up the whole game, and held the lead between 5-15 for the majority of it. Tigers made a few runs, but could never get their noses in front.
Dix seemed reasonably quiet, but managed 32 points & 17 boards. By my calculations he had 62 HSA for the game. Gange chipped in with 19 points, Farman had 16 & 8, Sully had 14 & Sutton 11 (along with 5 boards & 7 assists).
Bowley worked hard for the Tigers, and finished with 20 (9/15 FGs) & 11. Gerlach had 18 & 7, Wood 14 & 5 (fouled out) & Matt Hardiman hit some tough J's and creative drives for his 15 points.
Very scrappy game. Resembled an U14s game at times. Forestville's offence was very disorganised. Sutton was the only one who seemed to control the game for them, and even he had 5 T/O's.
Gerlach was good, but not great. Hit 3/4 3s, but didn't create a whole lot off the dribble. Hoban was still disappointing, 1/6 FGs, 5 points & 2 boards in 14 mins. For a guy who looked so promising over summer, he's certainly had a disappointing season. Bowley got an unsportsmanlike in the 4th quarter. DMT & Woods got a double foul, then Bowley decided it'd be a smart idea to knock Dougie to the floor. While Dougie only made 1 of the 4 FTs, it seemed to kill any chance the Tigers had of coming back.
All in all, not a particularly impressive game. Eagles will need to play better to get wins come finals time.
As a side note : Am I the only one wishing Heath Jury would just shut up? He's the Assistant, why refs don't ditch him every game is beyond me.
