THE Hamilton Basketball Association season rolled on with round two games this week, including some big wins for Division 1 teams.

Women’s Division 1-2

St Mary’s d Barber Babes

THE middle game ended up being the first game played, due to a forfeit, and St Mary’s dominated from the outset to claim a 38-point win on Tuesday night.

The Saints burst out of the blocks, piling on the points while restricting Barber Babes to just four first-half points.

Nineteen points separated the two teams at half team, with plenty of work ahead for Barber Babes to narrow the deficit.

The second half was similar, although Barber Babes doubled their output to finish the game with 12 points, but it was no match for the Saints’ 50-point haul in round two.

Zoe Vankalken-Flack topped the scoring for St Mary’s with 12 points, while Amy Pepper put up five points for Barber Babes.

Tigers d St Mary’s Black

TIGERS remain undefeated this season with a 20-point win against St Mary’s Black in the late game.

Black struggled to keep up with Tigers in the first half, putting up just 12 points, while conceding 25 points at the other end, giving Tigers a comfortable scoreboard buffer going into the main break.

The second half was a much more competitive contest, with Black adding 24 points to Tigers’ 31, as Black eventually fell short of victory, 36-56, at the final buzzer.

Saskia Gould was Black’s best with 11 points, while Maddison Rhook finished with 14 points to guide Tigers to victory.

The second half saw the game flip with Barber Boys rallying after the main break and improving their scoreboard output.

After half time, Storm continued to create plenty of scoring opportunities, improving their output against a St Mary’s Black team which struggled to restrict transition.

A 38-point haul in the second half saw Storm cruise to victory, despite Black’s best efforts with 29 points at the other end, with Storm winning, 66-45.

Cody Overton was the standout with a game-high 18 points for the winners, while Jack Roberts finished with 12 points for Black, supported by 10 points each from Zac Elliott, Harlie Manson and Craig Jackson.
