Eagles to Watch

Make sure to keep your eyes out for Diamond Valley teams wherever you are on Friday nights.

We check in with the coach of two teams to watch this week!

U12/4 Girls Diamond Valley

Regional N1

Coach: Bryce Stimpson
 

Friday 19th May

MSAC4 6.50pm

The U12-4 Eagles girls had a great 3-0 start to the season in Regional North 1. The girls showed a never give up spirt coming from behind in 2 of those wins. Unfortunately the girls have hit a hump in the road losing their next 3 games. Slow starts, and poor shooting have been a constant problem and have contributed to a couple of frustratingly close defeats.

 

This Friday the 12-4s face Melbourne-3 at MSAC in a 4th vs 5th game. A very important game as the girls try to turn things around and get their season back on track.

This week at training we have had a big focus on shooting, footwork, ball handling, and individual defence fundamentals. We have also focused on playing with vision to find scoring opportunities off our drive and kick. We know it's going to be a tough game against the Tigers, but the girls worked hard this week at training and feel well prepared and looking forward to the challenge.

 

U18/1 Boys Diamond Valley

VC

Coach: Rob Coulter

Friday 19th May

CBS1 9.40pm

Since qualifying for VC prior to Christmas and winning the Eltham Tournament, it's been a fairly inconsistent start of the season. The group has shown some great patches of team basketball and willingness to commit on the defensive end, mixed in with some patches where we can be lacking with our decision making and effort. This has left us in a position where we need to win our last 2 games to qualify for the Championship Division in VC.

 

This weeks opponents are a strong Dandenong 2 side that have given all opponents trouble this season and we expect nothing less this week. If the boys play with the right attitude and give 100% effort at the defensive end, it will go a long way to winning this crucial game.
