The Report: Grand Final – Game 1 (Youth Men)

Youth Men
Eltham Wildcats 75 defeated by Nunawading Spectres 99
M. Scherf 21 points, O. Magbegor 14 points/13 rebounds, T. Clifford 12 points

The Youth Men have taken a proverbial ‘haymaker’ by the Nunawading Spectres in Game One of the Victorian Youth Champion Men’s Grand Final series at Nunawading on Saturday night. The Spectres showed their class immediately outscoring the Wildcats 9-1 from the opening tip. Going into the main break down 38-52 the Wildcats focused on what they could control such as boxing out and communication on defence. Eltham would cut the lead to 14 with four minutes remaining in the third period and appeared to gather momentum but the Spectres were just too good and made it look easy on their way to a convincing 24 point win.

Game 2 & 3 will be held at Eltham High School this Saturday and Sunday.
