3rd place Hole in None took the game second half from the 7th ranked Only Franz in a game that started close but ended one sided. Top scorers in this game were, Jake Larkin ( 17 ) top scoring for his team, & Kitiloni B (15) & Brooklyn Camara ( 13 ) . The opponents top scorers were; Fletch R ( 15 ) , & Lachlan C ( 14 ) . Hole in None Came out looking for revenge and put the ball on the floor and got into the teeth of the defence to get some buckets and the main man was Jake L It was operating in the middle of the paint getting to the cup and hitting middies and causing all sorts of problems to the defence...Brooklyn was nailing his 3-pointer and stretching the floor whilst Kiti was taking care of the slashing and driving getting into the paint through damage to get buckets...
Fletch and Lachie C went for just under 30 combined This game for Only Franz, able to get some luck from range and on some floaters in the key which was clogged with defence and limited the other boys from getting clean looks and as the game went on the second half played out the same way as the first half as Hole In None kept up the pressure out scoring them in both halves adding up to a comfortable win for them and an advancement to the next round of the playoffs.. consequently sending only Franz home early ending their season...

5th ranked MIB started strong and got the jump on 4th place Hogz in a clinic, taking advantage of lesser defensive matchup. Top point getters in this game were, Sam M ( 16 ) leading his team & Shane S ( 15 ) . The other teams' top scorers were; Aaron Puljic ( 17 ) , & Brynn S ( 10 ) . MIB Stepping up this game and peaking at the right time as they dismantle the opponent with a flurry of jump shots and some open looks. As they whipped the ball around the top to find the open man and this game it was Sam and Shane going for just over 30 combined that did the trick and they were helped out by buckets from Tim and Joe as well to get the first half under control and up by 10 at the end of it.
And they continued the momentum to outscore the Hogz by 7 in the second half as well limiting Aaron P to just under 20 points and with some help from Brynn on the mid-range, They combined for 27 but that wasn't enough this game as they needed a bit more from the rest of the boys especially on defence which just wasn't here this game and the MIB wrecking crew come through and take this one to advance to the next round of the playoffs sending Hogz home early in the first round as they look to heal up for next season...

Top performers in this game were, Lonhro Tweddle ( 20 ) leading the way & Bud Green ( 15 ) . Their opponents had top scorers too, and they were; Max Driscoll ( 19 ) , & William A (8) & Taemin K ( 7 ) . Green Goblins Coming out strong and making the best of their attempts and looks this game as they saw Lonhro come out firing and looking for his shot getting it done from all angles and getting to the line for some extra points as he was helped out by Bud and Pete in the paint who went for 25 combined with Bud getting 9 free throws making all the difference in this game...
Max D had the green light and was putting up his three-pointers and hitting a bunch of them as well as getting to the line but even with Will and Taemin combining for 15, They just weren't able to compete on the glass and against the bigs from Green Gobbies...Kanye West Elite Unfortunately go down this game after not being able to recover from the first half deficit even though they outscored the Green Goblins in the second half by two... A good season for the boys but they go home early and see the green goblins advance to the next round of the playoffs...

The opponent's top scorers were; Cameron Hawke ( 12 ) leading his squad , & Bryan Frew (9) & Lee Kelly ( 8 ) . BOHICA Turning back the clock and looking good this game as they worked for the ball to their boys who were operating inside and dominating as they saw Liam and Tyler combine for just under 40 points this game scrapping for boards and putting back shots staying active on both ends.
They were able to limit Cameron Bryan and Lee to 29 points combined which was on the lower side of the score this game being depleted player wires in the tail end of the season but still putting up a good fight this game but going home early with their heads held high against a veteran team that had all its assets back to do battle for the playoffs...

Sugar Ds Looking to keep their run going as they have been playing well lately and this game was no different as they got their points in the paint from Jack B and Dylan T as the two combined for 32 points with them getting inside and playing strong on the putback and hitting their free throws which allowed them to build on their one point lead at the half to outscore Hard in the Paint by six points in the second half which allowed them to take this win by a few buckets despite the resistance from the big three from Hard in the Paint.
Daniel Angus and Brock as the 3 Ballers combined for just over 30 points this game which was a good effort but they unfortunately went down unable to defend the Bigs from the other team and after a good season competing with some of the big teams in the division, Hard in the Paint Go home early but look to come back next season and win it all...

2nd ranked Southcoast Ballers started strong and got the jump on 3rd ranked The Block , who underestimated the accuracy of their opponent and copped a loss for it Top scorers in this game were, Rem ( 14 ) leading the way & Marvic Zabala ( 12 ) . The opponents top scorers were; Alex De Santis ( 9 ) , & Ashton Rutter ( 8 ) . Southcoast Ballers Looking good with their new uniforms and made sure they get this win to Christen them and keep momentum going into the next round but this game they started off hot out scoring The Block by 15 points in the first half on the back of some efficient scoring from Rem and Marvic As the two of them hit 13 combined two pointers to get 26 together in scoring.
And with some help from the rest of the boys it was a comfortable victory in the end even though Alex and Ashton started heating up at points to combine for 17 in the game but they were limited as the defence was piling in trying to stop their shots and prevent them from putting a Run together even though they equalled their opponent in scoring in the second half they just couldn't recover from the first half deficit and took the loss and the early ride home for The Block...Southcoast Ballers Go on to the next round of the playoffs and hope that their veteran team with their young guns are enough to get them a chip this season
