CHASERS
PLOUGH THROUGH WINDSOR
84-42
The first quarter was
opened with Stef, Josh and Steve hitting five 3
pointers between them and bye the end of the first Stef
had 8 pts Josh 8pts AO 4pts Steve 5pts Arek the team
captain was working very well but the ball would not drop for him and finished
the game with 1 point (and he scored more than paul)
Windsor had no way of
dealing with the onslaught and could only score 9 points
In the second Windsor
came out fighting and gave there all in a bid to close the gap, they had the
bigger side after all. But evan
with the 6ft 10inch 1st
team player they were only able to close the gap to within 7 points as the
chasers only let him score 4pts in the hole game. A time out was called and the
chasers were told to go man to man this seemed to stop the rot and the chasers
looked to be in charge again.
From the 3rd
the Chasers never looked back, they were told to run Windsor into the ground
and did exactly that, fast breaks were the order of the day. Stef delivered 10 assists and 7 steels. AO had a great game
with 8 rebounds 19 points 1ass 2 steels
If you had just
walked in to the sports hall you may have thought it was the first quarter and
not the fourth because the Chasers were full of energy and speed Windsor were
looking slow in comparison. Will is new to the team and still learning some of
the plays, subbed in for AO and started where he left off scoring 6pts in his
first game Steve as ever was as solid as a rock throughout the game, Dan with 4
rebounds 100%from the field was in great form.
Josh slipped back
into the squad without so much as a ripple and had a monster of a game with 12
rebounds 26pts 2ass 3steels 2blocks and MVP 49pts
WELL PLAYED LADS
IF we take this
effort with next Sunday South Bucks will have a problem

With
A O and Stef not able to play the chasers had a small
but strong bench. At times they played some excellent basketball witch the vipers
could nothing to defend and then the concentration levels would fall away and

vipers Arek James and Ryan working together with
steels and fast breaks
