Hungry basketballers stormed the courts of the Kununurra Leisure Centre as the Kununurra Basketball Association’s indoor competition headed into its seventh round last week.

On February 6 in the men’s division, the Hornets narrowly edged past Drifters in a nail-biting encounter, securing a 41-40 victory.

Brendon Nelson emerged as the shining star for Hornets, dominating the scoreboard with an impressive 11 points.

Meanwhile, Black Magic overpowered Warriors by 11 points, 49-38.

D’Andre Cox, of Black Magic, stole the spotlight with an outstanding performance that netted him 19 points while Thomas Roebourne led the charge for the Warriors with nine points.

Unfortunately, Pelicans were forced to forfeit their match due to insufficient players, resulting in a 10-0 victory for the Suns.
