Although Grammar continued to fight back, the damage had already been done. Shore maintained their control, with Will Rintoul<\/strong> leading the charge on both ends of the floor. Rintoul\u2019s performance was exceptional\u2014he ran the offence with poise and consistently found ways to score, finishing the game as the team\u2019s top scorer with 30 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Defensively, Nick Riley <\/strong>and Adam Awad<\/strong> put in outstanding performances, particularly in limiting one of the top players in the GPS competition. Their stifling defence played a crucial role in neutralising Grammar\u2019s offensive threats and helped secure the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overall, it was a complete team effort and a fantastic 75-54 win for the Shore Firsts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shore’s Seconds Keep Title Hopes Alive with Win Over Grammar<\/strong> The game began slow for Shore, with the team missing easy scoring opportunities and allowing Grammar to build an early 13-2 lead. A quick timeout allowed the Seconds to regroup and re-focus, and they returned to the court with renewed intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Toby Ashton<\/strong> took charge of the comeback, drawing fouls and getting to the free-throw line 12 times early in the first quarter. He then led an 8-0 run of his own, scoring 15 of his 21 points in the first half alone. His aggressive play and ability to draw contact were key to Shore\u2019s turnaround. Kieran Fraser<\/strong> also played a vital role in the recovery, making crucial plays on both ends of the floor and finding scoring opportunities for his teammates as well as himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By the second half, Shore had regained control of the match and wore Grammar down, with their relentless pressure. The Seconds gradually pulled away, finishing with an 18-point lead, securing the crucial 63-45 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking ahead, Shore will need to be at their best next Saturday, as they face the pre-season favourites, The Scots College. The Seconds cannot afford to start slow if they want to keep their premiership dreams alive. With everything on the line, the team will be focused on putting together a complete performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Shore community is encouraged to come to the R A I Grant Centre for the First and Seconds final home game of the season, where Shore will face off against two tough Scots teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Game Schedule:<\/strong> Don\u2019t miss out\u2014see you there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Player of the Week:<\/strong> Mitch Dettman<\/strong> \u2013top scorer of the Fourths, 14 points and finally back to form after missing Term 4 with an injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Team of the Week:<\/strong> 14C<\/p>\n\n\n\n 14C\u2019s Dominate Grammar, Secure Team of the Week Honors<\/strong> From the start, the 14C\u2019s set the tone with relentless full-court pressure, forcing Grammar out of their typically conservative playing style. This pressure led to turnovers, which allowed the 14C\u2019s to capitalise and play in transition, creating easy scoring opportunities. The intensity on defence was a key factor in keeping Grammar on the back foot throughout the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the game progressed and both teams made substitutions, the 14C\u2019s depth became apparent. Despite the rotation, the team\u2019s intensity never wavered. This depth allowed them to maintain their high-pressure defence and fast-paced offence, keeping Grammar under constant pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 14C\u2019s shooting ability also stood out during the game. Alexander Tasevski<\/strong> had a particularly memorable moment when he made his first-ever in-game 3-pointer. The shot was taken with absolute confidence, and once it left his hands, there was no doubt it was going in, a highlight for the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hayden Bunting<\/strong> also played a key role in the victory, leading all scorers across the entire programme\u2014outside of the GPS teams\u2014with an impressive 20 points. His scoring ability and leadership were crucial in the team\u2019s dominant win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr Indiana Faithfull Saturday 1 March 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":24314,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[24],"article_tag":[],"class_list":["post-24281","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article_category-sport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/24281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24281"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24314"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=24281"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-weekly-record\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=24281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
