NBL wrap ... Kirk Penney goes off again!

This week in the NBL (so far) started with the Wildcats taking care of the Hawks 105 - 92. Shawn Redhage was his normal efficient self with 29 points (on 14 of 21 shooting), 7 boards and Darnell Hinson had 21 points (7 of 11 from the field, including 5 triples), 7 boards, 7 assists. Youngster and almost Bullet, Steven Weigh struggled (to say the least) shooting just 1 of 10. Glenn Saville led the way for the Hawks with 17 points, 10 boards and Mat Campbell had 16 points.

Last night, the Breakers continued on their winning ways against an under-strength Sixers team, 118 - 80. I told you Kirk Penney was going to be good this season and he didn't disappoint last night leading the way with 34 points on a good clip with 5 assists and 5 steals! CJ Bruton was again handy with 16 points (including 4 triples), 8 boards, 7 assists and Oscar Forman had 14 points (including 4 triples), 8 boards. The Breakers continue to shine from downtown shooting 15 of 28. For the Sixers, Jacob Holmes continued his good form with 19 points, 14 boards and Luke Schensher had 15 points, 13 boards.

In the other game last night, the Dragons came to the coast and took revenge on Shane Heal and the Blazers. Mark Worthington had 20 points, 6 boards, Matt Burston had 16 points (7 of 10 shooting/dunking), 9 boards and Mika Vukona had 11 points (5 of 6 shooting/put-backs), 10 boards. For the coast, James Harvey had 23 points (including 4 triples), 6 boards, Heal had 19 points (including 5 triples) and Ben Melmeth 17 points (8 of 10 shooting), 7 boards.

Coming up this weekend, the best games are Taipans vs Tigers and Crocs vs Wildcats. I for one am hoping both of the North Queensland teams get up.

Kirk Penney, Kirk Penney, Kirk Penney ...
