Woodville are the only club to have no grand final teams.

Good luck to all teams

I agree - well done to all teams for making their GFs. Good luck to all but Sturt.

Good point- BUT have a look at Div 1 & 2 Grand Finals- Love them or hate them, that is a great effort
6/10 for Girls
9/10 for boys (allowing for 2 Sturt teams playing each other in 1 grade)
You would have to be happy with that.

Results:

U/16 B5 CENTRALS Lost to NORWOOD
U/16 B6 NORWOOD Defeated WESTERN MAGIC

get a room guys!

The uneven nature of the U16 boys comp is a joke. Sturt and Forestville both have 2 teams in Div 2 and Norwood has 3 teams in Div 3. I fail to see how having 3 clubs dominating junior basketball is a good thing for the future of basketball in SA.

What you may not know is that the top div 3 U16B team was dropped by BSA from Div2 to div3. They were nominated for div2 and played summer in div2. After the winter nominations date closed, Matho contacted BSA direct (not through the secretary as per BSA protocol) and stated he wanted another Fville team in Div2 eventhough they were not nominated by Fville in div2. Gradings were completed, schedules out, then BSA bends and allows Mathos team in, dropping the Norwood team, no notice. Norwood were stuck with three teams in one division and no oppurtunity to drop a team to div4 (who were Norwoodless).
Not sour grapes just explaining what happened and why they had three teams.

Well Fangle that Forestville Div 2 team (Gold) is playing Sturt in the GF tonight so I think Matho got that one right.

Does not matter if Matho got got it right in your own eyes Anon. Rules are rules, Matho asked BSA - (Arnie)to break them and the rest is history.
All the best to Fville team, no axe to grind with them, its what happens behind the blue and gold BSA curtain that is the issue.

Well done Peter & team. Had to win twice in a fantastic game.
Why do they allow alcohol to be consumed courtside though?

It was a great game to watch. The crowd was sensational, really added to the atmosphere. Credit to both teams for an outstanding performance, expecially to West for winning in the end.

Sturt won U16B div 1 and 2 against quality opposition. Well done!

All the kids with trophies probably care...

I look forward to the U18 finals each year and this years did not dissapoint. Going to the game we thought it was going to be a whitewash but instead was entertained to the end. This year was as good if not better than previous years, a credit to the coaches and teams.
IMO refs were good and consistent.
Best players for West, Spear, Norwood, Long but both teams had great backup. Even 22 behaved and performed admirably.

Mavs won the U16 girls div 1 by 1 point in overtime in a thriller! GO MAVS!

Court 1 seemed to be the court of the night. U14 boys 2 points & a 3 pointer in & out for the win on the buzzer. U16 near game winner & 1 point game. U18 boys near game winner & 3 point game in OT.

Saw tail end of u14 boys, Southern were really impressive & unlucky to lose. I remember seeing them at state champs and Sturt were a mile ahead. Have Southern got tha much better or have Sturt gone backwards?

Good luck to both teams at nationals (as well as the other team going... Forestville???) and all girls teams competing. Anyone know if any SA teams are a chance to medal?

Anonymous sour grape views are not necessarily the views of discerning spectators, nor are they necessarily representative of the facts. I, for example heard the siren while the ball was being raised for the shot. I'd save my questioning to find out how Mavs number 21 (great game) was able to score some 17 points in the last 5 mins of regular time plus OT

Anonymous 331153 asks "who cares about Simons". Mate after the year they've had as coaches I have just one question to ask you:

Just how bitter are those grapes?

Anon #167 I totally disagree
The umpires are watching the game so not to miss any big foul or violation, it was very loud so they couldnt hear the siren.
If the umpires dont know if the siren had gone off before the shot then the umpires go check with the scorebench which they did.
And with nobody knowing the umpire did the correct thing and cancelled the basket allowing the teams to decide the game rather then him.
The same thing happened in the under 18 game.

And i was behind the bench as there was no where else to stand, what excatly did the mavs coaches do other then stand there and wait for a decision. The Forestville coach was the one who didnt behave properly.

A Forestville spectator didn't exactly behave properly either, by storming onto the court after OT and giving the refs a spray.

"2 weeks in a row..." pfftt!!! were you actually at the game last week

Gee and I thought you were implying he behaved himself

To all those Forestville people who believe that their u/16 girls were robbed , i am here to tell you the umpires call to ask the chairperson on the shot which went in after the siren was correct and the chairperson decision to say it did not count was the correct one, the ball was well and truly still in the hand when the siren went. The behaviour of some of the spectators at the end of the game to BOO and carry on against the umpires was a very sorry sight indeed. It took all the gloss of a fantasic game and makes what people say about the Forestville club ring true. You should be wondering how Mavs 21 Georgia Green absolutely carved up your team by herself in the last quarter and overtime. Also my son tells me that the comments written by some of the Forestville girls on facebook about losing and the mavericks players is fairly ordinary. Instead of grizzling about losing a great game your club and all of it's supporters should give credit to where is due and be gracious in defeat.

Been a lot written about U/16 Mavs girls not getting along with each other or their coaches, anybody who witnessed their grand Final on Friday night would have to realise by now that was a load of rubbish

As an independent observer to the U16 Girls G/F and having full view of the game clock,the ball definately left the forestville girls hands after the game clock had expired to zero. With so much noise it was very difficult to hear the siren but the umpires did the correct thing and checked with the chairperson before making a final call.

And unfortunatey, when the Forestville parents/supporters booed at the end of the game it made it look like they were booing Mavs after their win. Poor sportsman like behaviour. May very well have been booing the umps but seriously, it was in very poor taste and spoilt what was a exciting game game to watch.
Shame on you Forestville, you may have only just lost but you certainly also lost come sportsman like credibility.
And if the F/Ville girls have denigrated the opposition on Facebok then the Club needs to act immediately. This would constitue a serious breach of player Code of Conduct guidelines.

U16 Girls would never slag each other off on facebook.

" the best basketball club in the state LOL JK, we're ..."

jack toft,

i can assure you that some of the forestville u 16 girls had put on their facebook accounts that they just lost to mavs bitches and country dikes. very classy behaviour by some of them.

Anon (331218)and IMPARTIAL (as if), don't be such damned hypocrites. You come on to a public forum anonymously denigrating another club, its young players, parents and coaches and then feign outrage at what a kid posts on their Facebook page.

My strong advice to both of you would be to stop stalking kids' FB pages if you don't want to get offended.

If your going to call people dykes and bitches and put it on facebook. I would expect it to be acted on by the club regardless of the result of the game.

And if the club allows it to occur, without punishment, then they should hang their head in shame.

Facebook is an open forum, and as such people need to behave appropriately. And accept concequenses for their posts.

#241 - Some people would pay good money for that.

Ewww!!! a bit'Creepy Uncle', Cat in the Hat!

"Facebook is an open forum, and as such people need to behave appropriately."


Good luck with that.

Well Lucy, once again you but in with an uneducated opinion. Two months ago BSA put out by-laws covering cyber-bullying and this fits the bill. A few weeks ago at a BSA tribunal a player who abused a referee had his facebook entry concerning the referee raised, this cemented the verdict and increased his sentence. The Forestville girls better hope that Eastern do not wish to take this further and if any of them are SASI kids then better get ready to clean the fan.

Nice try at a personal attack eagleone. It's 'butt-in' not 'but-in' btw, oh educated one.

Anyhow, my comment was one of a general nature... good luck trying to regulate the Internet... butt (just kidding) I guess subtlety (like irony) isn't your strong point.

wow lucy chillout, why so UPTIGHT, general nature doesnt get easily agitated

Anon 171, Why with all their (simons) success have they not been re appointed junior coaches or seniors?

Ha, Lucy you are killing me. To defend your biased narrow mindedness, you bring out the grammar police. The only reason you can spell butt is because it appears on your Jenny Craig "list of goals". Now I was trying to alert your young ones to be careful and once again you bite, just like all of your previous posts.

Get on here and talk yourself up then get sooky because someone brings attention to your dirty tactics and dirty play. Stop bringing attention to yourself by posting your number and bragging about being the best and only player in your team! coz clearly you are not all that!

In 10 years time history will tell us that Mavs U-16 Div 1 Girls defeated Forestville U-16 Div 1 Girls in the Winter Season Competition Grand Final. These are the facts & they are not up for dispute.

22 from norwood is a very humble person, he is just highly energetic on court and in no way is out to do anything wrong or harm anyone. We need more people like him

Second that ANON, it's a shame being passionate about playing the game you love for the team you love is constantly bashed and looked down on!

I agree AK-47, great call. A lot of people have lost the passion for the game and are trying to bring everyone down

Congratulations to all the Western Magic teams that won their grand final+to the guys that just made it there.You are truly a force from the west!

...in the low divisions

The good Lord unfortunately does not like magic.
