O\u2019Shae Rangihaeata did something at the Gisborne YMCA on Monday night that\u2019s never been done before.<\/p>\n
In the 36-year history of Gisborne Basketball Association ladies\u2019 hoops, no game until Spark Plugs v WOGS on Monday had ended on the note of three consecutive three-point shots from three different players – Kayla Namana (32 feet), Ihipera Mackey (38 feet), Rangihaeata (47 feet) – tit for tat, further back each time.<\/p>\n
Rangihaeata hit the game-winning trey from the right sideline with one second left for a 43-42 win to the Plugs in the YMCA. <\/p>\n
She, Kayla Namana and Kohine Aupouri attacked the basket and gave as good as they got against the GBA\u2019s toughest team. <\/p>\n
WOGS\u2019 Mackey (17 points) led all scorers in Round 2\u2019s most memorable contest.<\/p>\n
SE Systems beat Gisborne Girls\u2019 High School 57-39 in Game 1, despite a 20-point game from Indie Nikora.<\/p>\n
In Men\u2019s Premier action in the Y, Week 5 saw Gisborne Boys\u2019 High School go to the top of the eight-team table with a 74-68 win over the Wairoa River Hawks.<\/p>\n
Aiden Henderson scored 25 points for GBHS in a feisty Game 2. <\/p>\n
It was a tight affair from the tip and sharp refereeing played its part. Eruera Ihimaera-Wikotu made an excellent call for progress on Gisborne Boys\u2019 Ollie Tong at 33-33.<\/p>\n
It was 37-37 at halftime in a game that featured plays for the purists, as when Ryland Bright found teammate Kelly Rangihuna on a cut to the hoop left side to put GBHS 51-46 in front.<\/p>\n
The Hawks\u2019 Qaadr Smith wowed the crowd with six astounding assists.<\/p>\n
Game 1, a 69-63 win to the Raiders over SE Systems, produced superb individual plays in all four quarters.<\/p>\n
SE Systems\u2019 Adrian Sparks scored after four previous put-back attempts in the opening period. <\/p>\n
SES\u2019s latest acquisition, Sam Chademana fed the player in the low-post – Tomas Fernandez – for Fernandez to score over man-mountain Nelson Brown.<\/p>\n
Allies Rangihuna bounced off Sparks to hit a fall-away jumper from behind the backboard, left side, at 44-35.<\/p>\n
And one of the strongest young forwards in club basketball, Haeora Kerekere-Puke, hit a memorable three-pointer for 63-50 to the Raiders.<\/p>\n
Brixton Calipes, of Off Limitz, led all Premier Grade scorers with 30 points in the new club\u2019s 60-50 Game 3 win against Massive Marauders. <\/p>\n
The compact, quick Calipes did it all offensively, hitting treys from the wings and the top of the key and also giving perhaps the dish of the night – a magic bounce pass and assist to Israel Kerisome on the run for 30-27.<\/p>\n
Calipes and teammate Turanga Mauheni hit four three-pointers apiece, even as the Marauders\u2019 Simon Wilson too found space and enough gaps to put up 12 points. <\/p>\n
For the Marauders in the last fortnight, another most encouraging sign has been the spring and keenness of big man Jason Tuapawa. Beyond his 16 points, Tuapawa\u2019s rebounding is solid.<\/p>\n
Game 4 began with hilarity befitting the late game, with City Lights\u2019 Paora Dewes grabbing the ball with both hands at the tip (an infraction since 1892).<\/p>\n
Dewes made the first three-point play of the City Lights v Kiwi Lumber-Jacks for 11-6 off a slick pass from Ryan Walters. <\/p>\n
He returned the favour Walters\u2019 way on the other side of the court for 52-46. <\/p>\n
Five sharpshooters hit three-pointers for Lights in their 76-37 win.<\/p>\n
Captain Scott Muncaster sank three treys while the unofficial vote for athletic play of the night went to the Jacks\u2019 Rewha Rameka – a crossover dribble at speed to get by David Glendenning and score.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Raiders 69 (Allies Rangihuna 19, Daley Riri 14, Isileli Kamoto-Taliauli 12, Mana Nepia 10, Haeora Kerekere-Puke 5) SE…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":86679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64707,64708,64709,64,63,24991,726,10681,34983,64695,1862,64699,29732,38848,579,64697,1770,64702,64705,64696,64700,64698,64701,42817,62589,64703,20637,5400,58144,85,64706,55288,64704,64694,319],"class_list":["post-86678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-64707","tag-64708","tag-64709","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bailey","tag-basketball","tag-brings","tag-end","tag-flurry","tag-game","tag-garretkora","tag-girls","tag-gisborne","tag-high","tag-historic","tag-indie","tag-jasmine","tag-kiera","tag-ladies","tag-makoha","tag-nikora","tag-petra","tag-peyton","tag-porter","tag-riri","tag-school","tag-score","tag-sparks","tag-sports","tag-swann","tag-systems","tag-taitapanui","tag-threepoint","tag-to"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
