Chris Hughes Goes for Near Triple Double in Win
Leeds native Chris Hughes had a career game on Monday night finishing 2 assists short of a triple double in Amelia Academy’s 67-36 win over Brunswick Academy.
Speaking exclusively to Hoopsfix, the 6’2, 190lbs guard said
”The team we were playing weren’t great, and at the half I had 13 points and 9 rebounds so I thought i’ll try go for a double double because I hadn’t had one ever before. Then (my teammate) Kirril got real hot from three and gave like 6 or 7 assists, but I just missed a triple double. I was just happy to get a win after a rough couple games the week before.”
Amelia Academy now stands at .500 with a 7-7 record but Hughes is confident about the remainder of the season
”There is some good teams and good players in our conference but I think around the conference tournament time we should be able to compete for a championship”.
Chris Hughes and Amelia Academy will next be in action tonight at Richmond Christian.
Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
