THE class and experience of Sharks Basketball Club has prevailed on the big stage again as it denied Wildcats a repeat win in the RL Signs Women\u2019s Winter Championship Grand Final last night (Tuesday, September 17).<\/p>\n

The Sharks 78-72 win over Wildcats marked the club\u2019s 10th <\/sup>Community Championship win, which head coach Paul Bugg described as a major milestone.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to get to that number, our girls have played really well all year and to finally get to 10, we\u2019re really pleased with that not only as a team but as a club as well,\u201d Bugg said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started really strong and put scoreboard pressure on early, and to Wildcats\u2019 credit, they came back at us hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir outside shooters are where we have trouble with them, but they weren\u2019t quite on the mark, if they were, it could have been a very different outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sharks seemed to have the game locked away early, blowing out to a 30-10 lead at quarter-time.<\/p>\n

Wildcats\u2019 coach Glen Sharp had stern words for his side at the first intermission, as it began its formidable task of reducing its deficit over the next three quarters.<\/p>\n

An 18-14 scoreline in the second period and a 29-17 scoreline in the third brought the deficit back to four points, as Wildcats trailed Sharks 61-57 at the final break.<\/p>\n

Wildcat Zahlia Foley\u2019s three-point shot to open the fourth quarter hinted at a potential upset, but it turned out to be as close as her side would get to defeating Sharks.<\/p>\n

Sharks relied on their core of former Supercat Alex Duck, Surf Coast Charger Cortney Hollowood, former WNBL representative Ebony Rolph and Bellarine Storm member Georgia Varley to get the side over the line.
\nThe final margin was six points.<\/p>\n

Hollowood was superb from distance and around the basketball, calculating a game-high 29-point effort, while Rolph and Varley combined for 34 with 17 points apiece.<\/p>\n

Wildcats centre Chantelle Hall tallied 28 points in the loss, while Jasmine King was terrific with 24 points. Foley\u2019s six points came by way of two triples.<\/p>\n

Sharks had their fair share of challenges during the season with two of the side\u2019s frontcourt members bowing out of the campaign early.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe lost two of our bigs during their season to injuries, so we\u2019ve really relied on Ebony during the back half of the year, but players like Ducky and Cortney are partly the reason why we have such a dynamic side,\u201d Bugg said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, though, my job is just bring the lollies each week, these girls coach themselves, when you have the quality you have out on the floor, I just need to call a sub here and there and keep the wheels on so to speak.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharks only lost two games the entire 2024 winter season and will likely go into the summer season as heavy favourites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
