After drawing 33-all in the first round, Blazers came from behind to beat Pacers Juveniles by 15 goals, 43-28, thanks to 36 buckets from Shadian Hemmings.

Pacers won the first quarter, 8-5, but Blazers edged in front at half-time, 19-18, then dominated the second half, 25-10, to run out easy winners.

Nickesha Ferron with five goals and Monique Bingham with three also scored for Blazers, while Georgia Reid led Pacers with 18 goals and Shanice Rhodes’ seven and Danielle Ellis’ three also scored.

Meanwhile last Wednesday, beaten end-of-round finalists 12-stars were held 25-all by last placed Starlight in a Zone B game, also played at Boys Club.
