Hartlepool HEAT 39 – York Eagles 23
HEAT clip York's Wings!
The U13s looked nervy again as they did in their very first game as they took to the court against York Eagles. York had just taken a complete battering in their first game against the Newcastle Eagles and had a point to prove.
Eagles flew into a 4-point lead but Hartlepool hit back through Ryan McKenzie and Macauley Novak with excellent displays of skill and finishing.
Any nerves the young Hartlepool players may have had soon vanished as the HEAT dominated the full second quarter and with a powerful 18-7 swing thanks to baskets from captain Jonny Davies, Daniel Pardue and Jonathon Mee the Hartlepool side had established a comfortable 10-point lead at half time.
York stepped up their defence the second half and held HEAT to only 8-points combined however such a strong performance by the Hartlepool outfit in the first half had secure the teams third win from three games.
Scorers: Macauley Novak 14, Ryan McKenzie 12, Jonny Davies 10
