Game Two – Beavers vs Falcons

The Beavers were off to a strong start, with Kye Fish scoring early and playing some serious basketball. K. Ward did his best defensively for the Falcons in what turned out to be an exhilarating game, with both teams demonstrating excellent teamwork and skill.

It came down to a nail-biting finish as Kaiden hit a huge three-pointer to tie the game with under a minute remaining. The crowd was on its feet when Kye Fisher was fouled while shooting on the siren, giving him two shots to win the game.

Game Three – Rolly Coasters vs Cilly Peppers

The game started with just as much excitement as the previous game ended, with the ball travelling end-to-end and neither team able to score until halfway through the first half.

Flynn Bagley scored the first basket to put the Rolly Coasters on the board, before the Cilly Peppers answered with a buzzer-beater to close out the half.

Both teams tightened their laces in the second half as the scoreboard began ticking over goal-for-goal. After a huge intercept, A. Moxen nailed a shot to tie the scores with only 20 seconds left on the clock.

With only seconds remaining, the Rolly Coasters had the ball deep in defence. Playing a fast break, Hudson pulled away and made an incredible full-speed drive to seal the victory.
