U16 Boys Premier League

Purpose-built for discussion.

The Gold Coast boys seemed to be flying under the radar on the previous Bendoes forum. That has prolly changed after the grading tournement on the weekend.

[TANK]

Just happened to be rolling around Runcorn on saturday and Gold Coast did seem to come under the radar but I'm sure they are not now. Spartans and Maroochy looked very tough and I'm sure Brisbane will come back fighting. Runawaybay will be there about aswell. Sounds like the Emu was also stalking around.

The Emu doesn't stalk.......... he struts! :D

I have a sophisticated network of pigeons and sparrows nesting in the rafters of all the venues who report relevant information back to the HQ - Burleigh Beach.

that top 4 of spartans, maroochy, bbi and gc will exciting to watch and tough to play against. my boys just scrapped in the top 8, hopefully we can make our way up the standings midseason.

[DaDunker]

Agree. This year should provide a much more even competition and hopefully less one sided games. Bring it on!

You survived that last day!
We didn't get too close to it on sunday.
Did you lose your whiteboard pen on sunday? I told one of my boys to give it to the northside coach but he gave it to some random dude in a blue shirt.

theyre should be a few great players but i dont know if it will be as good as last years team.

although they should be a very tall team with David Wagner, Sam Cabera, and that Big guy from BBI

Keba has moved to maroochydore

[Unregistered]

wow maroochydore are gonna be HUGE

[DaDunker]

When is Dave Wagner due back? I notice he wasn't around for the Trials the other week. Whilst Maroochydore are big will they have the pace to match some of the other sides? Looking forward to the Spartans/Maroochy re match.:banana:

[Unregistered]

Is David hurt?

[Unregistered]

he's in Canada

[Unregistered]

perminately?

[Unregistered]

are you joking?

mdore is going to smoke spartans

Wouldn't be too sure about that.

[DaDunker]

Bragging rights rest with Spartans at the moment with a convincing win over Maroochydore in the Preliminary rounds. However it's a long time to the Classics and I'm sure Maroochy will have their chance for revenge. :lol2:

[Unregistered]

don't forget spartans won against a marrochy team without david wagner

[DaDunker]

don't forget spartans won against a marrochy team without david wagner

Yes but will Dave be back in time to have any bearing. I've heard it won't be until Christmas which means he'll miss 9 regular games. That also means he would not be eligible to play finals under the BQJBC guidelines for player eligibility
"Players must play a minimum of 40% of games in a team to qualify to play finals for that team."
There are only five games left after Christmas. 5/14 = 35.7%

[TANK]

The TANK finds it very interesting that most people on the forum seem to think that it is a two horse race. Well i for one think there is three other teams capable of causing upsets especially on their home floor. Now as usuall the TANK gives credit where credit is due and has respect for Spartans and Mdoore but i think it would be naive of people to think GC, Brisbane & RBay havent got a chance of beating the so called top two sides. I think one of these sides in particular has got a huge chance of beating these two sides. I think this yrs under 16 premier league season will be exceptional. Heres a few players for the state team if you wanted speed at the gaurds Seth (Mdoore), Mathews twins (GC) just imagin chasin them around for 40 mins.

You are a very insightful, if somewhat unattractive, individual Tank. I may be somewhat biased toward the Coastie kids but there will be some teams chasing them around the court this season. There is natural speed all over this team and a coach who knows how to get the most out of that speed. The two horses may get a shock from the Gold Coast Horse Flu! :D

[Emu]

Yep, silly to be calling anything a two horse race at this early stage....especially with the horse flu around!
Who is coaching Gold Coast by the way?

Steve Weiland. From my observations of GC teams over the last few years..... He came on board in 2002 with Peter Harvey (ex NBL player) to coach the under 12 boys. Took the 12's the next year. Took the u13 Rumble to third in the "Regional" Moved to 14's, took 3rd in BSQ and took the Rumble boys to second in the State Regional. He won the coach of the Tourney that year.

Last season he took the Premier League U12 girls team to first in the BSQ and the Gold Coast "Waves" QABL team. He's also the coach at Hillcrest, a small school with maybe only 300-400 High Schoolers but an excellent basketball programme.
He's back with the 16 Boys now and THEY WILL RUN!

wat about brisbane?? with shiebner n aaron should be competitive .

[TANK]

The Tank is happy to see there is a bit of talk through the forum about the other 3 sides. Yes Brisbane with shiebner and aaron and there 2 bigs, which im sure their coach will be working hard 2 improve them by april will be tuff and Rbay with Luke Sams, Rohan Melloy and Jalen and steady improvment from their big, Joel Thompson will be moving along well throung the season and I'm sure GC with the Mathews boys, Jake Allen, Enoka Patuaka will be trying to serve it up to Mdoore and Spartans.

Where u bin dude if u haven't heard of Ro Han Melloy or BIG Joel Thompson? Or worse.... the Matthews boys, sons of the famous Audey Matthews; Luke Sams, grandson of the famous Vicki Sams; Enoka Patuaka brother to the famous Mark Patuaka and part of the famous Patuaka clan; or the ultimate ignorance.... Jake Allen, brother of the famous T-Bone Allen, son of the infamous super coach, Brian Allen who is husband of the formidable Jody Allen.

BQ have posted the first two weeks of the Premier league draw. Match of the first round should be Spartans and Brisbane Capitals with the battle of the coast taking place between Gold Coast and Runaway Bay. :cool:
Thunder travel to Maroochydore and Brissie Silver to take on the Wizards. Let the games begin!:mad4:

[Unregistered]

does anyone have somt state squad predictions?
how many will be in the squad?

[TANK]

Yeah dunker dude the battle for the coast will be a cracker to start with should be a very close game and the TANK aint gonna predict that one. Out Carina way should be interesting but i think Spartans will win this one over the Capitals. I'm sure Spartans will be out to stop their back court production which will go along way in the determining this one. The TANK expects huge improvement by the Capitals as the year goes on. Logan travelling to Maroochy is going to be tough Maroochy should win this one by a big margine at home. Northern Wizards play Silver at home in what should be a close one Silver to win. Looking forward to watching the season unfold.

[Unregistered]

Can anyone tell me whose in the spartan team this year and who are their key players? Also who do you rekon will win it this year?

[DaDunker]

does anyone have somt state squad predictions?

Based on the U18 format they will be picking a squad of 30 with the final pick made after the Classics. Still waiting for a trial date. The last time I spoke to BQ they were waiting for the final selection of coaches prior to announcing a time.
As far as selections go you would expect last years underage guys who made the squad to be starters. With the absence of a Regional comp this year hopefully selectors will have an intimate knowledge of the key players.
Still not sure if players will be specifically invited to trials or if anyone who figures they have a chance can turn up. Any one know?
:eye-popping:

[DaDunker]

Can anyone tell me whose in the spartan team this year and who are their key players? Also who do you rekon will win it this year?

Spartans have a well balanced team of guys who have played togther for quite a few seasons and dynamic new coaching staff who are bringing the best out of each player.
As for winning,:logo: early days yet. Plus some of these kids may grow another foot by the Classics.
But the real winners :bravo:are the players, as the comp is now much more competitive and there shouldn't be any walk over games as experienced previously. Basically most teams are capable of causing an upset and this intensity should provide the best possible outcome and keep players focused for the duration of the competition. This in turn should produce a better end result come state selection time.

Redlands won by about 20 in Div II
Maroochydore won by about 40 in Premier League.
Redlands look like they could have been at least competitive in PL whilst Maroochydore seconds under ex Caloundra Coach Mark Hauser showed distinct potential as future 'ballers and a ton of heart to decrease the lead from around 30 to 12 at one stage within the last 2-3 minutes. Redlands too big, too experienced, should be top 2 with Jimboomba.

Maroochydore U/16 PL looked like the Clippers A.B.A. bench with Head Coach Colby Stefanovic, Bullets Scholarship Coach Vern Robertau as his Assistant and enlisting the services of ABA Championship Coach, Warwick Meehl, to keep an eye on Colby's opening night as Head Coach in Premier League. The kids themselves could not help but be impressed and certainly played accordingly. They say the secret of Maroochydore's extraordinary results for such a small association is in the strength of their coaching and first time PL Coach, Colby has this outfit running extremely smoothly and showing the ability to run multi-dimensional systems with a solid "inside-outside" half court game utilising their "bigs" interspersed with blistering fast break basketball at the drop of a hat or any defensive turnover. Dont know the kids names and dont like to spoil the "team" ethic but there were standout players obviously. Best thing about Maroochydore however was how every kid who came off the bench had something to contribute and did so with enthusiasm. Long way to go but Maroochydore should be top 4 one would think.

Why not? All teams are able to qualify for div 1 through the pre-season tournament or the mid season challenge.

[Unregistered]

They can not due to fact that the PCYC only part affiliate with BQ. If they want to pay $45 like the rest of the State for everyone who is a member then they can but that would cost them tens of thousands of dollars. This is the only way Bq can protect the affiliated bodies such at toowoomba that have PCYC running in opposition. Redlands management knew this at start of season they just did not tell members.

There are a few standouts in the maroochy team that should make the state squad. Wouldnt be suprised if maroochy ends up with the most players in the squad.

That being the case, much interest will revolve around tomorrow's Maroochy/Spartans game with a number of players from both sides sparring for a guernsey in the state squad. :hifive:.
Spartans fast running game should see them home over four full quarters, but it won't be without a fight.

[Emu]

I just returned from perch at Tally Sports Centre. Watched some excellent ball including the 16 Boys. A great game through 3 quarters with a see sawing lead and a fast style of play. Neither team was able to break away until about three quarter time when Coach Weiland must have found a secret code word or something and ignited the Boy's after burners. 42 points in the quarter later and the Coasties had won by 102 to seventy something!
The Coast showed what they can do when they unleash their potential. More of that to come this season methinks.

For the Thunder, Wookie had a big game, I think he would have racked up 20 points or more and the two guards, number 4 and 5 may have gone for about the same each. They stood out in my feathered head.

For the Waves, a pretty well rounded team effort. Jeremy T had one of his better games, Mike Matthews was a demon with his brother and J Borland not far behind. Nooker was athletic as ever and Jake Allen productive.

I think Coach Weiland will be pretty happy with the potential in his hands

"Alex Watson from Spartans is a definite chance for making the State team. Great Player"


Personally, i think this kid is over-rated. I was at the Maroochydore vs. Spartans game last night. He was in the starting 5 and played nearly a whole game. To me he seemed a bit of a ball hog even though he only scored 6 points. I expected a different line up of the starting five, and different combinations on court. The end result seemed to cost them the game.

[Unregistered]

So who played good in the spartans game last night?? Do you rekon many of their players will make the state squad/team?

[Unregistered]

hard choice. few of the players that came off the bench for spartans played well and contributed a fair bit.

More of a lesson than a let down. Poor shooting let the Spartans down. You can't win if you don't make baskets and they missed tons. Game was a typical Spartans/Marroochy torrid affair with scores being close for most of the game, with Maroochy breaking away late in the game after they held a three quarter time 5 point lead.
Rematch will be viewed with anticipation as Spartans were without their key scorer (injury) and Mooroochy still have big Dave Wagner to come back (?)

Wagner's return is no certainty but Maroochydore still have the goods to beat them. Best team in the state 2 years ago and they haven't slipped any.

"Rematch will be viewed with anticipation as Spartans were without their key scorer (injury) and Mooroochy still have big Dave Wagner to come back"

Without their main scorer? If by scorer you mean ball hog then yes they were without him, but i think the spartans will work hard until the next rematch and really bring it to maroochydore.

{Without their main scorer? If by scorer you mean ball hog then yes they were without him, but i think the spartans will work hard until the next rematch and really bring it to maroochydore.}

buy what was said above, it seems to me that this statment was made by one of the parents or players in the spartans team and sound like there is a bit of conflict. your clearly refering to the ball hog as agon hafuzi but he can shoot. If i clearly remember watching the game the other night, the only ball hog out there seemed to be alex watson and the amount of court time he played, he surely didnt do anything.
P.S Why dont you have the guts to name the player you are reffering to be as the ball hog instead of beating around the bush?

Using the over/under 15 margin for simplicity.

Wizards v Districts. SD by 15+

Logan v Runaway Bay. Even tho Logan are above the Bay on the ladder, I'm going the Bay in an upset by Under 15.

Northern Lemon Heads v Brizzos. Match of the round! Maroochy undefeated, Caps with one loss. Maroochy at home...... Gotta go for the surfers in a tough one by under 15. Actually by 6.

Waves v Silver Tails: Coast are RUNNING into form. They won't be too big, just too fast for the Baby Brizzos. Coast by well over 15.

"Rematch will be viewed with anticipation as Spartans were without their key scorer (injury) and Mooroochy still have big Dave Wagner to come back"

Without their main scorer? If by scorer you mean ball hog then yes they were without him, but i think the spartans will work hard until the next rematch and really bring it to maroochydore.

Yea i agree, to me all agon does is score and maybe get some assists here and there but his time is up-and personally i think alex watson is better. A definete shoe-in for the state team if you dont agree look at the way he leads the spartans TEAM !!!

Go play the mind games elsewhere. When you have half as much talent as those that will make the final state team then come on and have a go. Nameless idiots with no game and no balls. No wonder we fail to attract talent to our State programs when those that are nameless continue to snipe away. Have a good look at yourself and understand just how better we could be if everyone moved in same direction. Did your kid miss out on State team or are you one of these wannabees that did not even make final cut. Go blow your nose and work a little harder on the raining track rather then on the computer and you just may be noticed for your skill rather then your cowardice. I have no interest here other then BQ teams being the best they can be. It takes a lot of different skills and attitudes before one can ever be considered for the highest achievement a junior can receive in Queensland. The honour of wearing the State colours is something a coward will never achieve as his or her lack of strength comes out trust me. Hey Fly why not delete these idiot attacts rather then allowing good people to be beaten up by cowards for no reason other then the venting of anger and frustration by those who have won nothing and achieved less.

[Fly]

Agree with what you have said especially this part:

delete these idiot attacts rather then allowing good people to be beaten up by cowards for no reason other then the venting of anger and frustration

Maroochy were dominate throughout the 14's 2 years ago and Townsville had nothing on them during classics and at Nationals.

During the North State Trials I did see the two new bigs for Townsville. One is 6ft 8' but very thin, while the other is about 6ft 4 and built like a tank. Talking to the Townsville players it appears that only about 5 players from the Under 14 squad have made it this year.

Still think Maroochy will be hard to beat but Townsville are now a very different team. Spartans as usual will do very well in 16's but don't know about the rest.

Seen Townsville teams before with heaps of size but couldnt shoot or run the floor and so got beat by smaller teams who could play. Having Shane Frohling (QITC-North) coaching those kids up there, especially his individuals work with bigger players, will make a real difference and be a genuine factor as the guy knows his stuff, but I still think Maroochydore has the coaching smarts to meet all situations and the players to overcome all challengers.

Do you mean biased or maybe you're saying they were "bought out". Apparently the fouls rained on SD after the first quarter.

[Unregistered]

Do you mean biased or maybe you're saying they were "bought out". Apparently the fouls rained on SD after the first quarter.

i meant they were REALLY one-sided. They gave the sd coach a tech within 5 minutes of the game as well as one of the sd players but when brizzy yelled and screamed they just patted them on the back and said oh shhh its alright.

Im not takin anything away from brisbane though they played a pretty alright game even if they played zone the whole game!

[Unregistered]

Actually i think you will find that the SD coach was asked by the referee to stop acting in the way she was and stop being so over the top arguing and questioning every call. After being asked to stop and that it was not to continue she then continued her behaviour. Technical justified. She was carrying on the whole game about every call no matter what happened she had something to say. Maybe she should worry about coaching her team as clearly there is a load of talent in the SD team and she was more concerned with the referees.

In reference to the other technical I believe the SD player told the referee to Fu$k off or words to that effect. Swearing is not tolerated and it is an automatic technical foul.

During the game the brisbane coach did not say a word and on 1 occasion a brisbane player started to say something and I saw the referee speaking to him so I dont know how you get patting them on the back from that.

That brisbane player who handled the ball most of the time i think its schribner was very physical and had plenty of contact on him and if anyone has reason to complain it should be him, but his coach pulled him into line and he kept playing regardless of the referees.

I also think you will find that that the 2 referees on the game are referees who currently refereeing ABA and D league games and have been refereeing for many years so I think its fair to say that they not only dont care who the teams are or who wins but are also very experienced.

Funny to see all the complaints, I'm sure if Brisbane lost by 2 points at districts they would blame the referees too.

I saw plenty of very poor options taken by both SD and brisbane, many tunrnovers, silly fouls, missed free throws, stupid shots, lack of defence and boxing out. So I guess if you dont take all of this into consideration then it has to be the referees that made the players take all these bad shots and take all the bad options.

Stop all your bitching and worry about playing and leave the refereeing to the referees. You are all 14 or 15 stop acting like babies.

Every year the same conversations are had with all teams complaining about the refereeing when they lose away games. You should be greatful you actually have referees as a lot of people wouldnt put up with all this crap from snotty nosed little 14 and 15 year olds like all of you. Go practice your free throw shooting, jump shots and passing and worry about your own game and get some respect for those who actually help run the game we all love so much.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Started to say something on 1 occasion? i dunno what game you were watchin a agree with sd i could hear the brisbane team swearing on a number of occasions and the refs still didnt call anything. They didnt even give the sd player a warning!

[Unregistered]

many of the occasions the brisbane players hwere caught swearing and sitting so close to the side line i overheard the reff tell schibner to stop swearing where it was with no warning the reff gave sd player a tech

[Unregistered]

Who stood out at u16 state trials today?
What are the views on the coaches?

[Unregistered]

actually I think you will find that players from both teams were using language in certain situations. As it was explained in an earlier post the SD player told the ref to "Fu$k off" but it is in a different context to saying shit when you miss a shot or make a bad pass.

Swearing at the ref is automatic Tech no matter what level you play at hence no warning. I dont know where you normally play your basketball but a referee is not even required to give a warning for anything so you need to get the mentality out of your head that the ref has to warn the player about swearing before they get a tech. In most situations an experienced referee will in most occasions warn a player about swearing as a courtesy to the player in an attempt to get them to stop but its a bit different when the player tells the ref to "F Off".

Always helps to look at the whole story doesnt it

Only after you play the "perfect, mistake free" game, have you the right to question refs mistakes. And of course they make 'em - they can only call what they see (ie. from their angle and what they are looking at - is it the 3 seconds, the ball carrier, the 2 big units giving it to each other at post ?) We expect 'em to be able to watch everything at once - it ain't ever going to happen - in any sport at any level.

How to cope - just suck it up. Half the time your team gets all the home-town calls (I've been to SD !!), Half the time the opposition gets the rub, and the other half!!!! - the refs nails it.

SD refs are the worst at reacting to the home coaches sideline comments. We played in a game where they even changed a charge/block call to a travel because of the coach yellin and screaming at the refs. the coach was a prominant club figure, so you tell me? Who hasn't been on the end of a few shonky decisions.

When it comes down to it if your team was winning the game convincingly would it really matter? Next time you play that team beat them by more so that it doesn't matter about the refs!

Just incase your wondering I am a ref, a coach and a player.

Wow! Last time we played this guy, (I think he was number 8 if not dont worry about this) he was tearing us up. At one stage we had to put a double-team on him because he was burning everyone one-on-one, and he still scored close to if not over 30 points. If this "Alex Watson" guy really is better than "Agon something" than I've gotta come and watch him play but from what I've heard (from previous posts) he's over-rated.

INCREDIBLE why do you SD guys always complain when we beat you guys? Man I'm sick and tired of all these complaints I see.

Any predictions in the premier league games this week round 11?

Thunder over Silver (convincingly At Logan
RBay over Spartans (feel an upset coming on) At R/bay
Maroochy over Bne (Match of the round. Shouldn't be more 10 points in it) at Bne

[Unregistered]

Maroochy vs bne

definetly match of the round when you consider maroochy on top of ladder with only 5 state players against bris with 8 state players..

BQ has to select some players from thier own club as it was at the u15 development tryouts.
BBI coaches = BBI players. I think they are all over rated players, and the Maroochy boys probably forced selection because they are NO. 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing new there. Thats how it usually happens. Thats why Ladewig and people through the years pull strings to have people like Riches and Aldred and them included as state coaches so lots of hopeless players will flock there hoping for a shoe in to a state side.

any predictions for the final 15 in the state squad by classics?

Teams in Southern Cup with two pools A & B should check out the concerns on the final format of there competition on the thread Juniors under BQJBC draw wks 10-14. There seems to be agro against the format. Help is needed!

Which players do you think got a free ride in both selections then? Remember not all kids were available for the 15's.

[Unregistered]

Did anyone attend the 16's trials and their 1st training at Ipswich?? How did they perform and who would be your pick for the state team? I hope to go to the next training just to have a look at the bundy kids as I see all the others play weekly.

Maroochy over Bne (Match of the round. Shouldn't be more 10 points in it) at Bne

I agree, Thunder will walk over BBI Sil.
RBay will beat SD (probably revenge for the 41 point loss last time)
MC will just clip BNE at the end.

[Unregistered]

THU. VS BBI Sil.
Logan will definetly be the team to beat next year as they showed there class competiting with teams a year older then them and playing well. BBI Sil. a so-so team.

THUNDER walks all over BBI sil.

SD VS RBay
Definetly see SD as the "weaklink" between the two teams, with thunder leading by 15 points at one stage, last week at Clem Jones. Maybe should have really put the game beyond reach but SD showed its depth and came back to win. Also noticed the rotations were terrible and the team didnt really play as a team (maybe a division between the group).

SO with that said my pick is RBAY over SD- 10 points.

MAR. VS BBI.
The match of the round, with both teams having a considerable margin of players in the state squad (but BBI having more), it should be a tight contest all the way. Maroochy I think will come out with all guns blazing and use their bigs inside to get some early points but BBI should slow the tempo of the game and move the ball around to get some easy shots. Maroochy definetly being the most prepared team in the league will come out as favourites but BBI should come out with the fact that they have more players in the State squad and use that as it clearly shows the depth, of their team. This game will all come down to "who can pin who" in the opening quarter.

My pick for this game will be BBI thats right BBI, with an upset over MAROOCHY.

Districts beat Runaway Bay by a dozen or though after being up by as many as 25 in the third

I don't want to bag the kids involved, but an example would be 2 bigs selected, 1 from Caboolture and the other one a Chris from BBI,both decent ball players but both known to the coaches, as a coach there was some unlucky kids out there from the "other" associations. One boy from Redlands (skinny dark head kid) I would have picked in the no. 3 spot over everyone there. The kids were told that the team is selected from what you do on the day. When we played Redlands he was a star, as was their other foward he also trialed. His defence was the best in the team. The guard from Maroochy is a star too, don't remember if he trialed though. Its not that these kids can't play they probably were full of nervse or had off days. Maybe the coaches should get out and watch these kids in a game before selecting teams?

Yeah I agree, they have some depth in almost every area! They have that shooter kid (8) who scores loads, umm some point guard (5) pretty good, some yao ming kid good centre, thats just to name a few. Also hear that some Burns kid is playing good too.
Surely a great team, never to be under-estimated!

Pretty sure the players you're talking about are these guys:
5= Alex Waston
8= Argon Hafuizi
Yao Ming= Bernard Tarca

Have no-idea what your talking about Southern are probably the most over-rated team in the "LEAGUE" most of the players hate each other, for gods sake! I saw them play a few times, losing to Brisbane because they weren't a team and werent playing like a team! Did you catch the Brisbane over Mar. game, brisbane destroyed maroochydore. That Schreibner kid took seth down, MC had no answers, BNE ran all over Maroochydore. And Gold-Coast, probably the most underated team in the league! They will teach SD a lesson in team-work.

I personally think everyone needs to point at all the invdividuals! This is basketball. It is a TEAM game individuals dont win games teams do. Also everyone seems to care about points. Wake up people there is ALOT more to basketball then POINTS!

Agree. We seem to be following the NBA with its all show, points scoring, dunking and little regard for defence. Why is it that so many kids want to dunk as soon as they gain a bit of height. The guy who holds his opposition number down to minimum points is just as valuable.

Now enough preaching and onto this weekend's games

Waves V Spartans- match of round. Give it to Spartans in a close one. Could decide top spot if Spartans hold out the improving Waves and then manage to take down Maroochydore next week
Northside v Logan. Logan to be too quick for the Wizards
Capitals v Sea hawks - Home ground advantage should see Bne do it easily. Especially with their tails up after beating Maroochy last week
Silver V Maroochy- Maroochy to thump Silver to avenge last weeks loss.

[Unregistered]

Everytime one reads comments on this site it seems to be spartans players talking about themselves. Alex Watson/some Burns kid haha. No wonder your team doesn't play as a unit and all hate each other with all your parents being involved in one way or another in Spartans and/or Queensland Basketball.

Where did you get your coach from??? She can't pick your best starting five and has no self control. I suppose she works for Queensland basketball as well??

Maybe you should take a step back and look at yourselves and the basketball culture you are in at Spartans.

Assuming "Unregistered" has the correct totals

did any one see this game.. how did R'bay manage a win after going down to spartans and coast, both teams that brisbane recently beat.. not including the win against maroochydore.
what happened....?

[Rocky IX:Stallone v Jesus]

Maroochydore Juniors suck, in all age groups! Why is anybody talking about Maroochydore they have got nothing and although they are doing ok right now I assure you they will not finish in the top 4 come classics time! This is a certainty! There u18 boys also suck, as do the U18 girls. Sorry for going off topic I thought I would just put it all in the one thread. Overrated!!!!! Couldn't agree more. Colby just teaches his kids to be pure jump shooters and none of them can penetrate, especially Seth and Cameron. Boo Maroochydore, boooooooo!

[Unregistered]

There are lots of associations that would like to be having the same results as Maroochydore are having.

Realistci changes at winning premier league and classics in under 18 girls, under 18 boys, under 16 boys and big improvrs in under 14 and 16 girls.


Go and rubbish someone else!

Hey i just think its unfair to the players that work their butts off during the game and dont get

any recognition for it i mean it almost looks deliberate? Anyways yes i now this is just a website so come on stop being so petty

[DaDunker]

Another interesting round coming up.

:dunk:

Runaway Bay to beat Northside at home
Goldcoast to win against Logan, but expect Logan to put up a good fight at home.
Maroochydore in a tough one against Spartans. Can Spartans regain their earlier form?
Bne to beat Silver in the Battle of Brisbane.

Aside: How focused will Keeba be for the Maroochydore game. Rumour has it he's spending more time at Southern Districts these days

I know use south people wont care, cause your all too caught up fighting about who scored what (when bbal is a team game) but....

Well well well, whats this people saying Maroochy are overated and spartans are better? As you can see by the score Spartans had nothing on us and we just ran their asses! They stood with us in the first but then we did our thing hahaha. This is what happened Bernard was killed inside by Keeba, Seth and Cameron contained Argon, Alex hogged the ball and Sam was too good for Kyle! HAHAH you spartans must be dreaming to think you can beat us!

P.S - Come on now, I know that you Districts are gonna blame the refs.

i totally agree that someone from another association can see that Alex Watson hogs the ball which makes it hard to win games. The way i see it, something is going on within the Spartans team, the choice of players and combinations that are put on the floor dont seem to be working. This could be due to the parents even getting involved eg. Michael Norman - Dad - manager / Ryley Burns - Dad - assistant coach. Whats going on there? Besides that, bernard did well against keeba and stopped him quite a few times and vice versa. Seth was shut down a few times but did well agains agon and kept him away from the basket. All in all, Maroochydoore brought their game and played as a team and in the end, team work wins the game. At least there is one good point the spartans coach can take from that game and seeing that she hasnt picked it up i might help her out. Stop rewarding individuals and that think there all that and put on your players that will win you the game. surely you would of seen that when Spartans had us just under 10 points from 15 with 4 minutes to go when the coach decided to put her favourite player on alex, which we didnt expect but, it was good for us because we know that one person cant that hogs the ball cant win a game and we proved that.

I agree, Keeba is definately overated. Really don't know how he is in the South State Squad, only went to one trial, turned up 15 minutes late and made the squad. There's been 2 state trainings so far and guess what................no Keeba. What a joke he should have already been cut. Sure know if I was a parent of a kid in the State squad I would have a lot to say if Keeba made the final team. He's definately got some competetion as there are some classy bigs that can shut him down in the squad.

Keeba is doin alright. Played better each week lately and is improving rapidly in a few areas. Schiebs is no fool and will do the right thing but thankfully parents have no say in state selection Think he was overseas when the team trained
He is playing outside as well as in which is new as well but wait till classics befor you pass judgement at the rate he is improving you may be surprised yet

Don,t know what game you were watching but Spartans played very well and wee in it all the way. seldom down more than 10. They threw a lot of different looks at us and without the home court was an even game. Both teams had good and bad patches but all up it was a good game and the coach is doing a good job with what she has. Easy to sit on the sidelines and criticise. What about all the good things they do out there ??

[Unregistered]

That must be Alex, Riley, or Michael sucking up to their coach again. Spartens have more depth (experienced players) in their side than any other team in the Premier League but your coach cant or wont see anyone else besides her favorites or is she told who to play by her employer.BASKETBALL QLD - GRAHAM BURNS. ----SUGGESTION--- Get ALLAN LADEWIG involved who knows these boys and you will see the difference in their game straight away.

Keeba wasn't overseas when the team trained and there has been 2 training sessions Feb 3rd and Feb 17th and he was seen in Brisbane. I know Schiebs is no fool and for that reason shouldn't include someone that can't make State trainings. Schiebs should cut him and And no-one has passed judgement on Keeba, and I can't wait to classics to see this amazing transformation of Keeba's speculated improvement.

Werent these kids coached by the great cris riches two years ago? No wonder they're tragics. Wat is it with BQ people coaching at spartans anyway? Does BQ hate them so much they send all the duds there to coach and try to ruin there kids?
