After a great first round of the Rams Summer League reporter Isaiah Smiler broke the games down
WEEK ONE
Game 1 – The Fitz Sports Bar 84 v 72 Lone Star
The very first Canterbury Rams Summer League kicked off with a great game on Tuesday night at Hornby Action Indoor. Rams captain Marques Whippy and Lone Star, took on Taylor Britt and The Fitz Sports Bar in a game that was sure to be close.
Early in the first quarter, Rams captain Marques Whippy made his presence felt on the interior, with several early second chance points to give Lone Star the lead. However, late in the quarter, Nick Erwood fuelled a comeback for The Fitz and they ended the quarter up by one. Erwood and team mates, Taylor Britt and Carl Issit, continued to work well together on both ends of the floor to propel the lead out to seven at half time.
After the half The Fitz Sports Bar continued their dominance despite the best efforts of Lone Star players Whippy and Derek Albertson, who worked tirelessly to try and minimise the deficit. Taylor Britt shot well in the third for The Fitz Sports Bar to give them a commanding 13-point lead going into the final eight minutes of play.
Lone Star began to make a small comeback at the start of the fourth quarter, at one stage getting as close as five points. However, Erwood would step it up another notch. Josiah Williams also added some late buckets to give The Fitz Sports Bar comfort.
The Fitz Sports Bar coach Piet Van-Hasselt said “The team committed to a hard-nosed defensive effort. Nick Erwood led the way in this area with some aggressive fronting of the post and doubling of onballs. Offensively the team hunted for extra passes which opened up the court and allowed for five players to reach double figures,”
Final: FIT 84 – 72 LON
The Fitz – Erwood 17 pts, 16 rebs, Britt 15 pts, Issit 14 pts
Lone Star – Albertson 17 pts, Whippy 14 pts, B.Williams 14 pts
Game 2 – Joe’s Garage v Fox & Ferret
Game two of the night featured Tony Tolovae back in action going up against Fox and Ferret, a team filled with the best high school talent in Canterbury.
Unfortunately, things were going to be made even tougher for Fox and Ferret as a few key members of their team were absence. Despite this, Fox and Ferret got off to a great 10-1 start. Tolovae then got going for Joe’s Garage, igniting a 7-0 run to bring them back to within a basket. Fox and Ferret still led at the first quarter break thanks to the consistency of Max Darling to get to the free throw line and to protect the paint.
Fill-in Josiah Williams and Joe’s Garage guard Josh Peterman then took over in the second quarter as they closed in on Fox and Ferret’s lead before the half time break. North Canterbury guard Jack Exeter had a good quarter for Fox and Ferret to keep his team in the lead at the break.
It was a neck-and-neck start to the second half, as Tolovae and Darling went head-to-head. The experience of Marty Davison for Fox and Ferret was able to give them the edge they needed to extend their lead every so slightly in the third quarter.
Fourth quarter time, up step Tolovae, who kicked into yet another gear. He made sure to get his team the lead and didn’t look back, scoring seven straight points early in the fourth quarter. From then on, it was always going to be a tough ask for the young guns of Canterbury to put a stop to Tolovae, as he ended up with a total of 24 points, to go along with 13 rebounds, arguably having the best performance of the night. Joe’s Garage took out a tight three-point victory to get their Summer League off to a good start.
Joe’s Garage coach Ben Sheat said he was pleased with the team’s effort but thought the defensive effort could improve, “Both teams did a really great job working hard throughout the game but I think the ball pressure, staying in front on defence, and off the ball defence could really go to another level.”
Final: JOE 58 – 55 FNF
Joe’s Garage – Tolovae 24 pts, 13 rebs, J.Williams 12 pts
Fox & Ferret – Davison & B.Williams 11 pts, Darling 9 pts, 6 rebs
