Tom Ward Drops 33 Points on Kent (21 in the Third)!

By Sam Neter on September 28, 2015

Worthing Thunder’s Tom Ward might just have the best numbers in NBL Division 1 so far this season, and watching this video of his 33 point outing last week, it’s easy to see why.

Tom Ward led all scorers with 33 points, 21 in the third quarter, as he led Worthing to an 84-70 win over Kent Crusaders in the National Trophy. Ward hit six three-pointers – some of them ridiculous – on 67 percent shooting while pulling down six rebounds and dished six assists.

Ward returned to Worthing this year after a year absence to focus on his work with his coaching company South Coast Elite Basketball. Last season he played for Canarias Basketball Academy in Spain before CB Santa Cruz of Tenerife.

His LeBron-like numbers weren’t just a one off either – this weekend he had 25, 8 and 7 on Hemel on Saturday, before following it up with 21, 6 and 6 in a close loss to London Lituanica on Sunday.

Ward graduated from Division 2 school St Michael’s in 2012 – tied for fifth in Saint Michael’s history with a 40.2-percent career three-point percentage, knocking down 106 threes while appearing in 72 games for the Purple Knights during three years following his transfer from Division I Saint Francis (N.Y.) College.

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.
