Slammers suffer third straight loss

The Printsync South West Slammers have suffered their third straight loss last night, going down to the Geraldton Buccaneers 118-102.

Buccs recruit Matthew Adekponya led the home side with 31 point and 12 rebounds, while Aaron Ralph (23 points) and Carter Cook (21 points) were all impressive.

Slammers import Tre Nichols top scored for the game with 34 points, while Royal Crouch scored 30 point and Trent Worthington returned to the side to grab a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

The Slammers now prepare for the Willetton Tigers on Saturday night at the Willetton Basketball Stadium.
