SA Mens U20s top QLD, Women downed by WA
A few people suggested that the QLD U20s would be a formidable opponent for the SA team, but the South Australian team won the first quarter 23-5 and survived a 26-38 second half to win 62-59.
Jordan Dodman got the minutes against the QLD big men and racked up 14 points and 15 boards in 25 minutes. Chris Clausen had 17 points.
Fancied Stephen Weigh (considered perhaps the "next Newley" and an NBA prospect by at least one local coach!) had 20 points, but shot at 6 of 26 in the full 40 minutes for QLD.
The women's team lost 61-69 to WA. SA's Mia Newley had 16 and Nikita-Lea Martin 15, 9 and 7, but Rebecca Duke had 20, 8 and 6 for the opposing team.
