Big wins for Wyndham

Wyndham did a demolition job of the Camberwell Dragons in the Big V state championship divisions.

Both the men’s and women’s side took on the Dragons and both came home with big wins.

The men’s team was on a mission in the first half.

A 37-18 first quarter gave the team control of the match and that margin increased to 38 points at the main break.

The Dragons showed some fight in the third quarter, to win the quarter by one point.

Wyndham then stepped it up again in the final quarter, winning the quarter 29-8, to get the overall win, 120-62.

All five starters scored double figures for Wyndham with Maurice Howard leading the way with 31 points.

Every player hit the scoreboard.

Wyndham now has two wins from its first three matches.

In the women’s game, Wyndham started the better of the two teams to get out to an early eight point lead.

The margin increased slightly in the second quarter to 10 points at the main break.

Wyndham won the third quarter, but the Dragons kept hanging around with the margin 16 points at the last break.

Wyndham turned it up in the last quarter. Any hope the Dragons had of coming back was soon over, with Wyndham winning the final quarter 39-15.

Wyndham won the match 95-55.

Every player played at least seven minutes, with all but one player hitting the scoreboard.

Dyani Ananiev top scored with 31 points, including hitting nine three pointers.

The side is one of two undefeated teams after the first two rounds.

Wyndham’s youth league men’s side had a 99-77 win against the Coburg Giants, while the youth league women’s side beat the Giants 68-58.

Wyndham’s senior women are on the road this week, travelling to face the Sherbrooke Suns, while the men’s team will travel to play Western Port.
