Day four in Moreton Bay delivered another packed schedule as the race to finals heats up in the Under-18 Championships, while the National Junior Wheelchair Championships also tipped off this morning.
Victoria opened its National Junior Wheelchair Championships campaign with a 71-61 win over Queensland, powered by a huge performance from Jackson Gray. Gray was everywhere for Victoria, playing all 40 minutes and finishing with 40 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists in a dominant all-round display.
One of the closest games of the day came in the Under-18 Women, with Victoria Country holding off a late charge from New South Wales Metro to claim a 58-56 win, with Ballarat forward Eliza Ashby notching a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds.
The Under-18 Men also delivered the drama, with New South Wales Country surviving an OT thriller against Queensland North to escape with another two-point win. Queensland North pushed NSW Country all the way behind 19 points from Gus Loughnan and a double-double from Kobi Teasdale.
