Week 5 - Under 16 Girls Game Report

This week the girls faced the daunting task of playing Logan at Logan, but after their “war cry” they were pumped for their challenging match. Inside Logan stadium it was heating up, and it wasn’t only the weather, with both teams neck and neck, neither in front by more than 5 points. Down by 4 in the last quarter, the girls battled back to be down by only 2 points in the last seconds of the game. With their tight and aggressive defence, the girls were able to force an intercept and score during the dying seconds of the match which evened the score. With both teams in foul trouble the girls entered 3 minutes of overtime. Unfortunately due to the burden of their fouls, they lost the game by a close 51-47. Next week the girls hope to improve on their contribution to their team as individuals, their organisation of plays and boxing out to retrieve the rebounds (the rebound stat was less than half for shots put up). Special mention to Phoebe Hinds who scored 22 points, Ruby See for 6 steals, Brianna Coonan for taking the team’s only charge and Kate Missingham for jump balls.
