I thought it was a great game between Norwood and Forestville! Well done to Norwood, but i thought it was Forestville who was the gutsy team! Norwood this year has the exact same team that won it last year and the eagles had lost Oakley, Arnold, Fildes, Wilson, Haydon, Breeding and didn't have back up point guard Harvey due to him going to college a couple of days ago! And if it wasn't for Gerlach fouling Webber on a three pointer with 5 seconds to go in regulation the eagles would be thru to the grand final....they probably deserved to be in the GF, but then again they deserved to win it last year and got beaten by a prayer....thats hoops i guess!
Both teams had some big performers on the night. Cooper was probably the best for Norwood. Webber and Grantham hitting massive shots down the stretch.
Gerlach, Sullivan, Sutton were all solid for the eagles. Hoban and Dougie battled hard on the boards, Dougie hitting some big 3's...love watching that guy play! But although they seemed to have Norwoods measure thay still found a way to lose!
Great prelim final....hope the grand final is just as good!
