Swaine, Stewart Lead Performers of the Weekend
A regular feature here on Hoopsfix, it’s time to recognise a number of standout individual performances from this past weekend across all EBL National Leagues with our ‘Performers of the Weekend’;
Veteran Jason Swaine, who has been killin’ England basketball leagues for years now, had a ridiculous 48 point, 7 rebound, 13 assist effort, as his Hudderfield Heat beat Durham Wildcats II 109-86 in EBL Division 4 North action.
Sheffield Junior Sharks lost by 1 in OT to Sefton as John Stewart (who is no stranger to Performers of the Weekend) fouled out with 3 mins left in the fourth…that wasn’t before he had dropped 32 points, 18 rebounds and 6 assists. He followed this up on Sunday with a 30 point-12 rebound double double, plus the ‘W’ as the Sharks took down Leicester Warriors.
Leeds Carnegie U16 Tre Price banged 12 threes on his way to a 44 point game but still couldn’t prevent the loss as Rotherham Hawks won 81-71.
Dean De-Freitas Smith had 43 and 12 boards but couldn’t stop his Hackney White Heat from losing 112-86 to Plymouth Marjon in Division 3 Men’s South.
In Division 4 Men South East action, Ohene had 38 points as his London Feltham Warriors beat Southgate Academical Lions 91-86.
The Brixton Topcats reached the National Cup final for the first time in their long history with a 90-79 victory at London United-Harefield Academy on Sunday. Dave Ajumobi led the Topcats in this historic victory with 26 points.

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.
