ROUND 2 of the Melbourne United Victorian Junior Basketball League (MUVJBL) Under 18 Boys championship division gets underway tomorrow night. We take a look at the 10 matches across the two pools.<\/p>\n
Ashe Pool:<\/strong><\/p>\n Waverley Falcons (7th, 0-1) vs. Geelong Supercats (10th, 0-1) In the Ashe Pool there are a number of close matches expected if Round 1 results are anything to go by. The big clash will be second placed Bendigo Braves travelling to take on the third placed Eltham Wildcats. Matt Debney<\/strong> (29 points in Round 1) looms as the key scorer for the home side, while William Smythe<\/strong> (17) was the number one shooter for the Braves. In the other big clash, Kilsyth Cobras host Werribee Devils in a fifth verse fourth clash. Darrien Herbert<\/strong> was the difference in the first round win for the Devils scoring 27 points, while Lachlan Vandervorm<\/strong> was his equal in Kilsyth’s victory.<\/p>\n In the other clashes, the dominant Dandenong Rangers will look to back up their first round smashing of Geelong with a victory over Collingwood All Stars, while the Supercats travel to fellow round 1 losers, Werribee. The other match pits ninth placed Bulleen Boomers up against Dandenong Rangers 2 with the latter hoping to bounce back following a narrow loss in the first round.<\/p>\n Watson Pool:<\/strong><\/p>\n Ballarat Miners (5th, 1-0) vs. Hawthorn Magic (8th, 0-1) The Watson Pool also has some entertaining matches planned, with the highlight being a top three clash between third placed Keilor Thunder and second placed Nunawading Spectres. Paul Tsapatolis<\/strong> scored 22 points for the Thunder in the opening round to be the top scorer, while James Roche <\/strong>posted 17 for the Spectres in their win. A fifth verse eighth clash between Ballarat Miners and Hawthorn Magic could be one to watch, with Austin McKenzie<\/strong>‘s 30 points in Round 1 the most of any player. He faces a side that could not get the points against Keilor last week, but Will Burgess<\/strong> was the top scorer with 19.<\/p>\n In the other matches, top-of-the-table Melbourne Tigers look to make it 2-0 to start the season against a brave Korumburra last week who pushed Ballarat all the way. The winless Knox Raiders and Ringwood Hawks go head-to-head to try and get on the board, while Diamond Valley Eagles will look to get back on an even keel with victory over Round 1 winners, Casey Cavaliers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ROUND 2 of the Melbourne United Victorian Junior Basketball League (MUVJBL) Under 18 Boys championship division gets underway tomorrow night.
