Watch HOGZ vs REDEEM CREAM!
https://you.pixellot.link/sikHteL3yPb

1st quarter Had the two teams feeling each other out to start with with no clear advantage except for rebounds where redeem Cream had the advantage by fall and looked to take the ball inside a lot more getting more of their attempts inside the paint but with the defence swarming they weren't able to convert a lot even though Liam and Jake combined for all the points in the quarter as they started heating up getting five rebounds a piece also... Hogz share the ball around looking for the open player and everyone got a piece of the action with a spread attack inside and outside taking what the defence gave them they turned the ball over a couple of times but held a three-point lead at the end of it going into the second quarter...

2nd quarter Would see both teams start to increase their activity inside the paint looking for players on cuts and this quarter Elliott J from Hogz putting a big effort getting 11 points in the period He was helped out with a couple of fast break points from Aaron P and Nate P continued his hot shooting now heading 13 in each quarter they maintained their shooting percentage at around 50%, doubling their opponent...Jake L kept up his scoring with Liam as the two now combined for 19 shooting a similar shot selection but Jake was shooting 57% so far and look like the player to get the ball to but unfortunately they had a 6 point deficit to deal with going into the second half..

3rd quarter Had both teams running the fast break whenever the opportunity arose and this time it was the Hogz that picked up the tempo more along with the hustle out scoring their opponents by 13 points in the quarter getting some extra offensive firepower from Nate who hit another two threes and Brynn who was all over his mid-range shot..as as Joe...Liam and Jake were held to a lower output this quarter but big man Senio stepped up and had seven points in the game so far as they now shot a little better his quarter but still had a lot of work to do..

4th quarter What's the last chance for redeem Cream to make a run and they did their best almost equalling their opponent in score as Liam was able to catch fire from outside hitting three from downtown allowing him to score 12 in the quarter but even with a couple of shots from Henry and Brooklyn they weren't able to bridge the gap from the previous quarters and were punished time again by jumpers from Tom , Joe and Brynn, but It was Aaron and Elliot that stepped up even more with Aaron getting 7 points in the quarter and Elliot getting 8... Finishing this domination of a game to take the championships sending Redeem Cream home early wondering what they could have done better to stop this well rounded team they were faced with...

Top Performers this game from were Elliot J with an MVP double double 26 points 10 rebounds and 4 assists on 67% shooting a true finals performance that led his team to the win along with Aaron P Who got 16 points and 8 assists facilitating the team allowing them to score in bunches which Nate P also did getting 14 points and a massive 7 steals showing his skills on both ends of the court! From Redeem Cream It was Liam taking top honours with 25 points and 8 rebounds to go with three steals He was helped out by Jake L getting 12 points and 8 rebounds..Senio pitched in some good numbers with 10 points and 5 rebounds but they just couldn't compete with the firepower from the rebuilt Hogz squad!

Congratulations to the champions of Division 1, returning to their former glory!...Hogz!! 6th Title in franchise History!

Division 2 Grand Finals

Watch LUKES BALLERS vs DAWGS!
https://you.pixellot.link/wAJcTCL3yPb

1st quarter Saw the two teams start to warm up their shots and get their shooters going to their spots It was back and forth for 12 minutes with near the team getting an edge but Luke's Ballers shot 7% better than Dawgs overall and the rebounds where the same the only difference was the 2 point gap in score which would only change if someone stepped up and got hot going into the second quarter..

2nd quarter Didn't see much of a momentum change you both sides going at it taking similar pace but The short selection was where things stood apart as the Dawgs look to attack from 3-point range more shooting 7 more threes than Luke's Ballers .. Who went inside and up to this point had shot a total of 25 shots inside and assisted on three more shots and their opponent... The up in school was only four at this point with Luke's ballers still up but it was anyone's game at this point where a quick scoring run could change the game...

3rd quarter Things started to open up a little bit but the control seemed to stay with Luke's Ballers As they started to get more cuts going inside and their jumpers were starting to fall so far in the game Luke led the way with 15 points and 10 rebounds whilst Alex P was shooting 57% from the field and had 11 points thus far...Liam and Tim W contributing a lot so far including 13 points between them which allowed them to increase their lead just a little to 9 points but the shooters from Dawgs Can always get hot as Todd and Roe had combined for 24 points in the game so far and we are Mitchell W inside causing all sorts of havoc the fourth quarter could go down in either teams favour...Luke's Ballers winning on the board so far by 5 and shooting 15% better overall has the fourth quarter started...

4th quarter Was the last chance for Dawgs to make a comeback and they pushed it getting a huge quarter from Danny L Who had connected on three from downtown this quarter enabling them to almost catch up entirely game if not for some good control and some accurate free throw shooting by Luke's Ballers enabling them to hold on to the lead by four points even though they were outscored by five points in the final 12 minutes... There really wasn't much between these two teams with only 10% in shooting percentage and 7 rebounds... A good matchup but Luke's Ballers able to start off a little stronger and hold on to the lead to take this step to championship...Dawgs fought hard but go home early despite some good shooting towards the end of the game...

Top Performers this game from were Dawgs was Todd B who put in 15 points for rebounds and three assists He was helped out by Danny L Who slotted in for three pointers to get 12 points and Roe also put in 12 points as he got his mid-range shot going throughout the game to train help the boys get back in...Luke's Ballers had some big performers with Luke M getting a solid double double and MVP performance with 19 points 11 rebounds and 7 assists showing up when it counts the most and finding his teammates who also scored well, Alex P in particular put in 12 points and 6 rebounds and with Tim and Liam going for 15 points and 19 rebounds combined It was a good performance well deserved of a title...

Congratulations to the champions of Division 2...Lukes Ballers!

Division 3 Grand Finals

Watch KS BUCKETS vs SUGAR DS!
https://you.pixellot.link/cJgVJQK3yPb

1st half Would see two teams go at it but more so to players as we saw a face-off between Freddie and Jack B with each player getting super active zipping around the court and getting inside for their shots it was a 13 point 4 rebound output from Freddie, He was helped out by Matt D Korean 5 points in the half but it was Jack B that was carrying the Sugar Ds with 19 points in the quarter shooting 70% to go with his three rebounds filling up the stat sheet... That enabled Sugar Ds to take a one-point lead at the half but is this solo performance sustainable in a grand finals? The second half would tell as the two teams did not have much between them except for at 7% difference in field goal percentage...

2nd half Was when things started to open up for the KS buckets boys as they found the formula to win which was feed the ball to their hot scorers who was led by Freddie and Matt who in the quarter would combine for 14 points and they got a couple of buckets from Sam Fw and Jimmy D or contributing to them outscoring their opponent by 15 points holding the whole team to six in the final 20 minutes which was instrumental in this dominating win...Ks buckets helped out big time on the boards this half out rebounding Sugar Ds by 10 rebounds and out shooting them by 13% for their field goals.. a selling game from both teams but the second half was when the eventual champion needed to show up and it was KS Buckets This time that had a little bit more in the tank and take this championship...

Top Performers this game from were Freddie put in an MVP performance with 23 points and 8 rebounds on a 50% shooting clip leading the team scoring wise and pushing the break every time...Matt D had an all-around game with nine points three rebounds and two assists and on the other team Sugar D's had Jack B school 21 points and pulled in six rebounds to go with three steals...Dylan T had some luck at the line but was heavily defended most of the game but still got eight rebounds to help the team out...

Congratulations to the champions of Division 3...KS Buckets!

Division 4 Grand Finals

Watch FIL-OZ vs BALLY DRAINERS!
https://you.pixellot.link/PbIZFsK3yPb

1st half Started off slow in the first couple of plays but then Marvic started getting going and with some help from Rem, They were able to capture the momentum and keeping control of this game from this point as the two of them combined for 27 points...Mason started off well also with eight points five rebounds and three assists shooting 67% from the field at this point giving a team a 15 point lead going into the second half..Fil-Oz had a lot going on the offensive end as they shot a great percentage keeping it above 50% which was 30% more than the Bally Drainers in the first half even though Noah M was on fire shooting seven out of nine from inside the arc contributing 14 points in the half he carried the team as the other boys tried to get things going, Charlie Y was able to put in a three but they all needed to get a little bit more going in the second half to increase their shooting percentage and try to cover the gap from the first half...

2nd half Played out similar to the first but we saw a huge comeback from Bally Drainers as they left everything on the floor and made sure they gave it their best effort to make a comeback and unfortunately they only fell six points short...Tommy C and Adam M scored well in this half as they had combined for 16.05 but it was Noah M Who kept things going and put in another 14 points to mirror his performance from the first half...Bally Drainers had been winning in most categories including the rebounds which they had a 10 board advantage and even though the shooting percentages evened up towards the end of this game they just couldn't recover from the extra 4 turnovers and to be gap in the first half...Fil-Oz making sure they stay on top of this one and took their time in the second half to force the defence to play and send them to the line increasing their lead but it was a good effort by both teams to battle it out for the division four championship this season...

Top Performers this game from were Mason ended up taking the top score with 20 points and 14 rebounds in the game a huge MVP performance He was helped out with a couple of big numbers from players as well, Marvic got 14 points and seven rebounds and Rem put in 17 points and three rebounds to go with his two steals..Sam W putting in a great effort on the glass coming second in that category to go with his huge game high three steals a true championship clinching performance...Baller Drainers had big men Noah M lead the way with 28 points and 12 rebounds shooting 54% from the field, a performance that should have been enough to get over the line..Adam got a close double double with eight points and 11 rebounds and Charlie Y was a monster on the glass with 13 boards....They will have to wait till next season to make another attempt at the chip!
