https://you.pixellot.link/p1tzX1hVuFb
3rd ranked Shaqtn'a Fools took the game second half from the 1st place KS Buckets in a game that had the winners go on scoring runs that werent answered in time. Top scorers in this game were, Elliot J ( 25 ) top scoring for his team, & Will P ( 21 ) . The opponents top scorers were; Milo Fallows ( 19 ) , & Freddie F ( 13 ) .
1st quarter Shaqtn'a Fools Starting off the quarter playing a controlled game and making room for their scorers who got going early... Elliott J was a beast on the inside going four for four in the quarter and young phenom will be also started getting wet with nine points the two of them combining for all the points in the quarter as they were faced with the hungry KS buckets who got the Fallows Brothers starting to warm up with 13 combined in the quarter Aiden and Edward B Pittston as well to allow the boys to enjoy a one-point lead after 12 minutes with the grind of a game just beginning...
2nd quarter KS Buckets Came out strong and we're looking for their shooters and this time everyone got a piece with all players scoring in the game so far and putting up some great resistance on defence and decay and Brynn saw a couple go down and Elliot and Will kept up their offensive attacks to keep the momentum and limit their turnovers which they only had one so far to KS buckets for which made the little difference in the quarter giving shaqtn the lead by four at the half which they looked to build on as the game goes on but not without heavy resistance.. So far KS buckets were winning on the boards and shooting just 5% less percentage-wise from the field making it anyone's game from here
3rd Quarter Shaqtn'a Fools Put their foot down and got some extra points at the free-throw line as they found their cutters in the paint and capitalised on the fast break is quarter to extend the lead just a little to a more comfortable point that they are used to... Corey and Carl were hustling hard this game and put in some extra work to contribute to the score... Milo and Freddie kept the pressure on but we're heavily guarded being the main two scorers allowing Matt D and Tyson to get a few looks which went down for them helping to stay in the hunt and keep the score in single digits hoping for a run at the start of the 4th... At this point it was the turnovers that were the issue for KS buckets as they had eight to shatqns 1 and the accuracy on free throws was a big factor giving Shaqtn a 9-point lead at the third quarter siren...
4th Quarter KS Buckets Put in some work in the last quarter as they went on a little run midway through getting some big buckets from Milo who scored 9 points in the quarter and Freddie scored six including an almost game changing three late but the foul situation had KS buckets at a disadvantage and not hitting their own and giving their opponent opportunities there spelt the end for them.. They kept up in the quarter but was not able to make any ground with the fourth quarter siren sounding with the same gap in points from the third quarter...
KS buckets had a great season in the number one spot but this game the statistics tell the story as the final box score showed that although KS buckets had a five rebound advantage they turned the ball over seven more times and had three less assists but they shot just as well as their opponent on 33% overall relying on their three ball to try and get back in the game to which they put up 28 compared to Shatqns nine...
Top performers from Shaqtn'a Fools were Elliot J with 25 points 8 rebounds on 40% shooting starting out the game on fire not missing until the second quarter and was hungry for this title after returning to his previous peak before his break to lead the team and fuel the victory... Will P was locked in, getting 21 points and hit some big shots at the right times including some tough and1s that left the defences head hanging low... Andy K helped out with eight points and six rebounds and Brynn and Corey combined for nine points in the solid win for the veteran crew..
The also had some good stats, KS Buckets, Including Milo F who ended up with a massive stat line of 19 points and 17 rebounds on 42% shooting which led the team in a big way as he commanded a lot of attention but still made a lot of buckets through contact... Freddie F was hitting his shots with 13 points making the decommit to him and opening it up for his teammates He added two steels to contribute on both ends... Edward and Tyson combined for 14 points to help the boys out but they will also face with a lot of defence making it hard to get a rhythm...
Congratulations SHAQTN a Fools a return to glory after losing last season in the grand finals and can they look to keep this run going again and go back to back next season!?

https://you.pixellot.link/gvyTbIhVuFb
5th ranked Kanye West Elite werent going to stand down against 3rd place Double Dribble and was victorious this round, thanks to some players putting in work. Top point getters in this game were, Max Driscoll ( 24 ) leading his team & Mark Khoury ( 15 ) . The other teams' top scorers were; Brent Harro ( 18 ) , & Shane R ( 18 ) .
1st quarter Kanye West Elite Started the game off a little shaky next day tried to get looks for their shooters and were successful in keeping up the pace and the school Mark and Max getting six each in the quarter as they tried to get a quick jump on the veteran crew they were faced with who had some very efficient scoring this quarter with Finn Shane Grant and Brent shooting 100% from the field combining for 15 of the teams points that's they ended the quarter up by three hoping to keep up the strong play..
2nd quarter Double Dribble Had some momentum and kept it going as both teams went back and forth answering each other's buckets the strong inside presence from Shane are was still prominent and he had collected 14 points and six rebound so far helped out by the big man inside Grant with five points and five rebs Finn was hungry for the fast break with six in the game so far and Brent Harrow was filling the stat sheet up with a bit of everything but the standout was for steals for him as he locked in on defence however the score line stayed the same with double dribble up by three at the half both teams shooting a good clip with double dribble on 50% and Kanye West elite on 41% the rebounds were slightly in favour of double dribble but the difference in the two games was evident with more attempts from downtown from Kanye West elite.
3rd Quarter Kanye West Elite Not shooting as well from deep but kept on trying which was paying off at times as they would get a big three to land just when a few had bounced out reigning the crew to push forward and keep up their strategy... This quarter was returning point for the game as Kanye West elite went on a 19 to 5 scoring run to end the quarter getting some big time threes and inside shots to go capitalising on some quick early fails from double dribble so far the free throws were hurting them as the double dribble crew had missed 10 so far and Kanye West elite had only missed for... Most other stats were even at this point both teams turning the ball over at an equal rate and shooting percentages very similar but the attempts from inside were heavily weighted towards double dribble.. going into the 4th quarter the score line was 8 points still a winable game for double dribble but they had lost all momentum which Kanye West elite stole with their barrage of points to end the 12 minutes
4th Quarter Double Dribble Looked to open up with a scoring run and they fought hard for every possession and reach for every loose handle that was showed to them paying off to get a few players to go their way getting Brent H to score 11 points in the quarter alone as he tried to bring things back but they were only able to reduce the score line to seven points as they were victim to free throws at the end of the game in garby's time which Kanye West elite made 50% of which was enough to get over the line and win their first UBL championship in division 2!
Top performers from Kanye West Elite were Max Driscoll who was having a tough night from three where he usually shines but was having a perfect game from the free-throw line hitting 14 of 14 giving him 24 points six rebounds and three assists in the win He was helped out by Mark Khoury Who got things going early with his three ball hitting 56% of them and finishing with 15 points and 5 rebounds to help with the win.. Oli B was a beast down low with 10 points and 7 rebounds and 2 blocks to own the paint this game.. Will A it was all over the court with seven points and two of everything almost solid game to help out with the win
Double Dribble also had some good stats, , Brent H ended up with 18 points 7 rebounds 6 assists and a whopping five steals to lead his team along with Shane R who put in a 18.10 rebound double double shooting 73% from the field which was a great game for him but they needed a little more which Finn K provided with 11 points 5 rebounds and 3 assists but even Grant and David snowy getting 15 combined wasn't enough this game as they went down to a solid performance from Kanye West elite
Congratulations to Kanye West elite getting their first title in their first stint at UBL! and many more to come after beating a veteran crew who was hungry for this win but will have to wait till next season to try again...

Watch DUNKINGS vs SHELLHARBOUR BRIDGES!
https://you.pixellot.link/bxKaOpiVuFb
7th place Dunkings shot the lights out against a helpless 3rd ranked Shellharbour Bridges in a game that started close but ended one sided. Top performers in this game were, Jack Cudina ( 15 ) leading the way & Hayden Arton ( 11 ) . Their opponents had top scorers too, and they were; Angus M ( 18 ) , & Lachlan M ( 15 ) .
1st half Dunkings Came out hoping to get a good start and they did through their shooters who were setting up in their spots and letting Sannie Run the point and find them and it was working well with everyone scoring this half in an efficient way especially Jack C who had 9 points on 60% shooting heading to big three's which complimented the effort of Sam Branch to get to the free-throw line where he made 90% of his shots there to help get the Dunkings the lead by 4 at the end of 20 minutes... Shellharbour bridges we're keeping up the pace but not hitting their usual shots this game the main attacks came from Lachlan and who had 11 points on 80% shooting so far to lead the team with Angus and Max combining for 12 but finding it hard to get clean looks with all the defence rushing them...
The box score showed a lot this half as the differences in stats were a major factor mainly the rebounds where dunkings sat on 12 more rebounds then Shellharbour bridges... Both teams shooting equal shots from distance and inside with Shellharbour bridges shooting a slightly higher clip at 38% and dunkings shooting 29% overall...
2nd half Shellharbour Bridges Hoped to get a quick run together and put the game back in control by them but it was hard going as the momentum was with dunkings even though Angus was able to start to get some runs on the board scoring 12 in the half but it was not going as smoothly as it usually does for them with some forced shots in the key resulting in fast break points that they couldn't afford.. The 9 turnovers in the half from Shellharbour bridges did not help them as they tried to come back and even though their three ball wasn't landing they attempted to get a few up in the hope of some landing in succession to bridge this gap which by the end of the game had extended to 17 points.. The game was over in the second half We have the clear advantage staying with Dunkings the final siren
Shellharbour bridges go home with their heads high and making the grand finals but just getting unlucky on some bounces and 50/50s that could have gone their way but they will have to wait till next season to get revenge and try get a chip!

Top performers from Dunkings were Jack Cudina going crazy from downtown hitting 50% of his shots from there amounting to 15 points for rebounds and three assists on 56 percentage in shooting.. Hayden A was having a banger of a night hitting three shots from downtown on his way to 11 points which was a big Hope at certain points in the game when they needed a bucket... Sam B also played hard and notched a dominating 10.14 rebound double double helping his team secure the ball and limit the turnovers and limit the rebounds going to the other team... Ash Jono and Jackson combined for 12 points... Ash got a rebounds and the point guard who has been dishing out some sweet dimes and getting some great stats lately was Sannie.. Who got 6 points..7 assists four rebounds and two steals to stuff the stat sheet and guide his team to the win...
The Shellharbour Bridges also had some good stats, Angus M put in 18 points and 9 rebounds going 100% (6/6) from the free-throw line to help his team in the grand finals but even with the 15 points on 55% shooting from Lachlan M it wasn't enough with so much defence being played on these three players they were not as effective in the second half and they took the loss after a great season and first attempt in the div to win it..
Congratulations to Dunkings!! A solid win for A veteran OG crew who return to glory after many seasons without a chip!!
