Game report
Sharks v Illawarra
Win 24-19

This was a hard fought and scrappy game.
The boys got out to an early lead on the back of some good defence. The two Jacks, Jackson Gogoll (5 steals) and Jackson Suva (4 steals), harrassed the opposite point guards so well that they set up a number of great fast breaks.
The whole team were excellent on the boards. Anthony Rodriguez took the most with seven, but James Trimble, Jackson Gogoll and Addam Stone contributed five each.
What hurt us was our execution and in the second half our defence. Only two of our scorers got above 20 per cent shooting and after being 16-6 at the break, we let in three back-to-back baskets to make it 16-12.
To make matters worse Anthony fouled out early in the second half.
After that the boys tightened up to compensate, forcing silly shots from the Illawarra team and hustling hard for the loose ball.
This was not a pretty game but the win really boosted the team's confidence.
Scorers: Addam Stone (6), Nathan McOrist (5), Anthony Rodriguez (4), James Trimble (4), Jack Suva (3), Jackson Gogoll (2).
Top rebounder: Anthony Rodriguez (7)
Top steals: Jackson Gogoll (5)
Top Assists: Jackson Gogoll (1), Nathan McOrist (1), Anthony Rodriguez (1).

Game report

Sydney City Comets v Sharks

Loss 42-32

If there was ever proof that a pep talk can make a difference, then this was it. Jackson Gogoll's dad, Jim, had a chat to the two Jacks in his car as they went to lunch between games.

Whatever he said, it inspired his son.

Jackson Gogoll was everywhere on defence and attacked the basket almost at will in the game aganst the Comets. He top-scored with 14 points and at the same time picked up 11 steals.

The MVPs in our first game were also inspired. Anthony Rodriguez pulled down 13 rebounds and James Trimble 10.

Yet it wasn't enough. Many of the players struggled to hit their shots, most often because they were rushed or not in good position. If we can pick up our execution just a fraction then we will be hard to stop.

Addam Stone brought up the ball a lot and picked up two assists. As with our assists in most games, there should have been more.

Jack Suva was also fast to bring the ball up and while he may not have had anything in the assists category, he did set up fast breaks that led directly to points.

In this, our second game, there were marked improvements across the board. It was a trend that marked the weekend and culminated in a blow-out win against this team just a day later.

Scorers: Jackson Gogoll (14), Nathan McOrist (6), Addam Stone (6), Jackson Suva (4), James Trimble (2).

Top rebounds: Anthony Rodriguez (13), James Trimble (10)

Top Steals: Jackson Gogoll (11)
