IN the second round of the Melbourne United Victorian Junior Basketball League (MUVJBL) Under 16 Boys competition, teams head back to the court after results that featured a draw, some tight contests and some impressive wins from Round 1.<\/p>\n
Ashe Pool:<\/strong><\/p>\n Dandenong Rangers (9th, 0-1) vs. Nunawading Spectres (6th, 0-1) Of the five games in the Ashe Pool, the fourth against fifth clash stands out. Southern Peninsula Sharks host Knox Raiders in a battle of the sides that won by four points in the opening round. Darcy Jones<\/strong> posted 16 points for the Sharks in their first round victory, while Jordan Anderson<\/strong>‘s 28 points against Nunawading Spectres proved to be the difference, and was the second most points scored for the round. Coby Burgiel<\/strong> was the only shooter above 30 points, sinking 31 for Latrobe Energy in Round 1, and will be looking for an equally impactful game against bottom-of-the-table Diamond Valley Eagles.<\/p>\n In other games, Dandenong Rangers host Nunawading Spectres, top-of-the-table Bendigo Braves travel to face Eltham Wildcats 2, and eighth placed Whittlesea Pacers look to get on the board against second placed Keilor Thunder.<\/p>\n Watson Pool:<\/strong><\/p>\n Kilsyth Cobras (5th, 0-0-1) vs. Waverley Falcons (7th, 0-1) In the Watson Pool, Pakenham Warriors and Geelong Supercats go head-to-head in a second versus third clash tonight. Kayne Taylor<\/strong> finished Round 1 with 19 points for the Warriors, while Jamie Ryan<\/strong> and Oliver Northam<\/strong> shared the points in Geelong’s opening round victory, scoring 14 points apiece. Top-of-the-table Bulleen Boomers host mid-table side, Casey Cavaliers in another intriguing clash. The Cavaliers were forced to split the points with Kilsyth Cobras in a 49-all draw last week. The Boomers were impressive in a 24-point victory over Melbourne Tigers. Will Rimmington<\/strong> was the top scorer for the Boomers with 15 points, while Blake Shankland<\/strong> scored 18 for Casey.<\/p>\n In other games, Kilsyth Cobras hope to get the full points this round in a home game against Round 1 losers, Waverley Falcons; Sunbury Jets and Hawthorn Magic go head-to-head in hope of gaining their first wins for the season, while fourth placed Eltham Wildcats hope to make it back-to-back victories against cellar dwellers, Melbourne Tigers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IN the second round of the Melbourne United Victorian Junior Basketball League (MUVJBL) Under 16 Boys competition, teams head back to the court after results that featured a draw, some tight contests and some impressive wins from Round 1.
