Yet another exciting week for the Youngbloods Lions winning their second game of
the season against London Westside Rangers the team that won the Final 4 last season.
Much to be excited about with the Youngbloods Lions adding 4 more boys to their 
roster.

Youngbloods won the tip to start the game and straight away took the lead with baskets
from **Joshua Morgan** who finished with a staggering 30 points to lead all scores.
Westside would answer back as their go-to guy C. Verwon showed his dominance in 
the post causing all sorts of problems for the Youngbloods. However, Youngbloods
went on an 11-0 run with new boy **Ashley Russell** getting on the score sheet and
Morgan netting one of his 4 three-pointers to close the quarter 7 – 17.

The second quarter belonged to **Christian Adun** as he was hustling and bustling
his was to the basket backed by **Neo Clunis** and finished by Boatey’s well-worked
lay-up. Verwon from Westside kept it close scoring 9 of his 18 points to make the
score 17-28 to end the half.

The third started with excellent defensive effort by Boatey getting into passing
lanes with game-high 12 steals, 13 rebounds and 11points. He wasn’t done as he also
showed his range knocking down a deep 3. Westside’s answer was swift with a 5-0 
run as Verwon went to work again. Youngbloods showed their resilience with a 15-
0 run of their own to end the quarter 22-46. 4th quarter sees every player get on
the score sheet with excellent shooting from **Edas Rukas** and **Cameron Thompson**
but the highlight was when **Neave Gregoire-Clarke** nailed a deep 3 mid way through
the 4th with the excitement of the crowd. Solid performance form new boy **Omeke
Jennings **aka (Biggs), helped seal the win for Youngbloods 34-80.
