Sunbury Jets’ spree continues

The Sunbury Jets made it seven wins in a row in Big V women’s state championship.

The Jets were never in trouble against the Bulleen Boomers after quarter-time.

The Jets won all four quarters and extended the lead throughout the night on their way to an 83-56 win.

All Jets players who took to the court hit the scoreboard, with six players hitting double figures.

As a team they shot at a high 55 per cent accuracy from the field and 42 per cent from the three-point area.

Orla O’Reilly top-scored with 19 points. She also had 11 assists.

The Jets sit third heading into a final round clash with the McKinnon Cougars on Saturday night.

Meanwhile, the Jets men’s side got a rare win in division 1, defeating the Melbourne University Black Angels.

Both teams had periods of dominance in the first half, before going goal for goal in the second half.

Skipper Jacob Formosa top-scored for the Jets with 21 points.

The win is just the fifth for the Jets this season and ends an eight game losing streak.

The win means the Jets can’t finish on the bottom of the ladder.

The Jets will finish up their season on Sunday, when they take on the Bulleen Boomers.

The Jets youth league men’s division 1 side start their finals campaigns this weekend.

They finished the regular season on top of the ladder, and had bye in the first week of finals.
