Basketball Geelong to host WNBL Game
BASKETBALL Geelong will host the WNBL clash between Bendigo Spirit and Dandenong Rangers at the Arena on October 17.
The two sides recently met in a pre-season game with the Rangers winning, 61-52.
Spirit coach Bernie Harrower is hoping that form won’t be replicated next time the sides meet.
``We’re still struggling a bit, but it’s only early days,’’ Harrower said. ``After two weeks of training it’s a bit hard to expect too much”
Harrower expects a lot more from his girls for the match at the Arena.
Bendigo seems to be the underdog in the all-Victoria affair, but Harrower warns that some of his charges are starting to find form.
“Some of the players started to show good signs,’’ Harrower said. ``Gabe (Richards) was in good form again. She ended up with 20 points and (recruits) Eleanor Haring and Dee Butler ended up with 10 each.”
This game also sees the return of local girl Anna Teague, who is now playing for Bendigo.
Teague started her junior career in Geelong and is looking capitalise on some pre-season form to increase game time in her second season for the Spirit.
``Anna has really stepped her game up,’’ Harrower said. ``She will be in great shape for the start of the WNBL season.’’
