Saturday 22 February<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Round 11, Shore\u2019s First V faced off against the top-ranked team, The King\u2019s School (King\u2019s). Once again, Shore was missing key players, meaning it would take a massive team effort to pull off an upset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the start, King\u2019s demonstrated why they were at the top of the table, efficiently scoring early in the first quarter to jump out to a 12-point lead. However, the resilience of the Firsts was evident during this period\u2014they never gave up and found a way to stay within reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With only minutes remaining in the third quarter, Shore battled back to cut the deficit to just two points, trailing 54-56. Unfortunately, their momentum stalled in the next period, as a five-minute scoring drought allowed King\u2019s to go on a 10-0 run. This ultimately created a gap too large for Shore to overcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Murray<\/strong> delivered his best performance of the Term, recording a double-double in points and rebounds. Meanwhile, Louis Pichler<\/strong> led all scorers with 19 points in his first game back from injury this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shore Seconds secured a thrilling overtime victory, defeating King\u2019s 55-50. A hot start from the Shore, turning defensive into offence and jumping out to a quick 13-2 run, but after a few substitutions and a dip in energy, King\u2019s regained momentum and entered halftime with a three-point lead. The second half was a back-and-forth battle, with both teams making big plays and momentum constantly shifting. With a minute left, Shore trailed by three\u2014just the right moment for Harvey Joyce<\/strong> to step up and knock down a clutch three-pointer. The Seconds then delivered a fantastic defensive stand in the final possessions, preventing King\u2019s from scoring and forcing overtime. Shore then dominated the overtime period, opening with a 6-0 run and never looking back. Jacob Shih<\/strong> was outstanding in transition, finishing key fast breaks, while Jordan G <\/strong>and Harvey Joyce<\/strong> led the team with 13 points each, including crucial late-game contributions. The Seconds remain in contention for the premiership and can secure it by winning the rest of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Player of the Week:<\/strong> Hayden Bunting<\/strong> \u2013 Leading the 14Cs to a massive 43-24 win against King\u2019s and adding 15 points himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team of the Week:<\/strong> The Sixths continue their stellar season, securing another victory and bringing their record to 10 wins from 11 matches. This past Saturday\u2019s game against King\u2019s was a nail-biter, with the Sixths narrowly edging out a 35-33 win. Close games have been a theme of their season, yet they consistently find a way to come out on top. A scrappy and athletic team, they excel at generating offensive opportunities through defensive pressure and capitalising on second-chance points from offensive rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noah Shepherd<\/strong> and Nick Dolman<\/strong> led the team with nine points each, but it was a collective effort that secured the win. The team plays with relentless energy, embodying the idea that the harder you play, the luckier you get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
