(District 6 Vs The Vets) 74-70
 

Both teams suffered from a hard fought defeat in week 6 but the time off gave them an opportunity to regroup. Both teams also coming in with same record of 2-3 so this was their chance to get to .500. District 6 took their chances and outclassed the Vets.

District 6 started off the game fairly well on offense but the Vets stayed with them throughout first half with their defence and ending it with a 4 point District 6 lead 35-31. In the 2nd half District 6 made it rain with their 3 pointers they totalled 13-35 in the downtown range throughout the game.

For the Vets their X factor was Nolan Gooding he scored 30 points with 12-25 shooting but he struggled with 2-8 in the free throw line and this was the deciding factor of the game. In the end District 6 had a commanding lead but few lousy turnovers cost them and The Vets Capitalized on it and actually tying the game. Jerome Gayle of District 6 had enough of it and made 2 consecutive three pointers late in the game he had 6-10 shooting from deep. It was a scrappy finish to end the game but the missed free throws cost the Vets.

Overall it was a good game from both teams, District 6 will look to finish the season strong next week with another win while for the Vets no need to put their heads down as they gave everything they had, they just have to look at the positives from this game and use it for next week .
