V’s Sat 14th feb - reading rockets - 7:15pm GAME DAY PROGRAMME Welcome 7 Days A Week • 5:30pm – 11:30pm 5/6 Hollybrook Way, Heatherton Village Littleover, Derby DE23 3TZ w w w. b a s m a t i d e r b y. c o m Derby Trailblazers v Reading Rockets Good evening and welcome to Noel-Baker for tonight’s home game against Reading Rockets. If it feels like it’s been an age since we were last here for a division one match, that’s because it has been age – five weeks to be precise! Not surprisingly, an awful lot has happened since then, so we’ll be rounding up all the latest news in tonight’s programme. On the court, last weekend was a disappointing one for the club. A number of injuries led to back to back defeats for the first time this season. The loss against Kent was softened by news that title rivals Essex Leopards had also lost, but makes tonight’s game against Reading even more important, as it was the Rockets who inflicted that defeat. First and foremost, we would like to welcome our friends from Reading to Noel-Baker for tonight’s game. We’re always made to feel very welcome whenever we visit Rivermede, so I hope you join us in welcoming Gary Johnson, his players and coaching staff and any travelling supporters who have made the trip up from Berkshire. Elsewhere, our defeat last Sunday ends our involvement in the National Trophy and sets up an intriguing final between two very physical sides – Manchester Magic and Leicester Warriors. This means we’ve now been able to rearrange our trip to Westminster for Saturday February 21st. Secondly, we must thank everyone who helped to make the Clarence Wiggins Memorial event such a huge success. Our colleagues at Noel-Baker school did a great job in helping to put the event together, in particular, Lee Jepson, whose IT team masterminded the technology being the multi-media presentations. I’m sure you’ll agree there were some particularly moving speeches and to see over 1200 people packed into the Sports Hall was a true demonstration of the love everyone had for Clarence. We intend to make sure his legacy will continue through the work of the Trailblazers organisation. Plans are continuing for a basketball related event after the season is completed and we will keep you posted with these and also the proposals to rename the Sports Centre in memory of Clarence.

More than 1,200 people who knew the charismatic American through basketball or as a teacher at the school came to celebrate his life in the sports hall that will soon bear his name as a lasting tribute. This was a chance for the many people whose lives he touched since he arrived in the city to play basketball in 1983 to pay tribute. Noel-Baker head teacher Mal Kerr said Clarence, who had worked at the school as a PE teacher since 1991, was a “superb teacher and a one-off”. Derby suffer heart breaking league loss against Worthing Derby Trailblazers....................................... 93 Worthing Thunder...................................... 95 Derby then brought Raheem May-Thompson off the bench and his introduction gave the Blazers an immediate lift. The explosive forward netted six straight points, four of them preceded by offensive rebounds. The 6-2 run prompted Worthing to call their first timeout of the game, after the Trailblazers had cut the gap to 17-15. An emotional night at Noel-Baker school finished with a heart breaking two point defeat against Worthing Thunder, when Dan Watts three-point attempt bounced back off the rim just as the buzzer sounded. Prior to the game, Derby had paid tribute to Coach Clarence Wiggins with a perfectly observed minute’s silence in memory of the man who had contributed so much to basketball in the city and who had sadly passed away in between Christmas and the New Year. Before the crowd rose to stand in silence, the Trailblazers Chairman Charlie Wright read an emotional tribute to the man who had inspired so many people during more than thirty years spent in the UK. Then, during the twelfth minute of the match, the game was paused to enable the crowd to stand again, this time for a minute’s applause, the significance being that Wiggins had spent much of playing career wearing the number twelve vest. Had Watts’ shot have dropped through the hoop, it would have been a magical ending to an evening which was already tinged with sadness, but it was not to be. Coach Matt Shaw admitted Worthing had shot the ball exceptionally well, but felt Derby should have been sharper at the defensive end of the court: “It was an exciting game which could have gone either way with the lead switching frequently throughout. Ultimately we just couldn’t get enough stops defensively and I guess it’s always tough to win when you give up that many points,” he said. Worthing got off to a decent start, surging to a 9-1 lead as Hank Rivers found his way to the hoop three times and Milton Chavis struck from long range. Watts then found Dorr open for a triple and after a drive to the hoop from Brendan Okoronkwo, Watts netted a threepointer courtesy of a Chris Shalvoy assist. 8 Thunder scored the next six points, but the run was ended as May-Thompson found John Stewart in the corner from where he drained a three-pointer. Chavis responded with an and-one basket for the visitors. Derby then attempted the same play again, only this time, Stewart’s shot rimmed out, meaning Worthing were able to take a 26-18 lead into the first break. The Trailblazers came out on fire in the second quarter. Stewart scored twice, either side of a basket from Dorr, with the pair responsible for providing each other with the assists which made each other’s shots possible. The last of those scores happened just into the twelfth minute of the game, providing referee Roger Harrison with the opportunity to suspend play. The crowd were then invited to acknowledge Clarence Wiggins contribution to basketball in the city with a minute’s rapturous applause. The moment seemed to provide a catalyst effect for Derby, as the Trailblazers embarked on a 16-8 run, which included a pair of three-pointers from Shalvoy, five points from May-Thompson and a triple from John Gould. Worthing were also having success from downtown, with Louis Allen striking three times and Josh Brown adding another, but the Trailblazers ended the quarter with another strong sequence. They outscored the visitors 9-2 over the final two and a half minutes to lead 51-46 at the break. Unfortunately, Derby were unable to take that momentum into the third quarter and a fired up Worthing side began the second half with a 13-3 run. Although the Trailblazers rallied briefly towards the end of the period, it was Worthing who took a 69-67 lead into the final quarter, with Rivers scoring at will and grabbing almost every rebound going. The game was far from over though and Derby began the fourth with nine unanswered points. A three-pointer from Dorr was followed up by a pair of free-throws for Stewart and back to back scores from May-Thompson. Twitter: @derbyblazers & Facebook: facebook.com/derbytrailblazersclub At 76-69 down and only seven minutes remaining, Worthing called time-out and responded with an 11-1 burst of their own. Midway through that run, Tomas Seduikis was called firstly for an offensive foul and then for a technical for his subsequent dissent, but Worthing seemed unfazed. While Shalvoy sank the resulting free-throw, a turnover allowed Allen to chance to knock down his fifth triple. Shalvoy was then stripped of the ball and Allen punished him again, with yet another huge shot from downtown, which opened up an 80-77 lead with 4’40” on the clock. A Derby time-out followed and when Dorr’s shot rimmed out, Lee Goldsbrough was on hand for a tip-in which provided hope, but after an exchange of baskets, Chavis hit five straight points to put Worthing 90-86 ahead. Dorr then cut the gap to four points before Rivers sank one of two at the line, but the Trailblazers were running out of time. They began a barrage of threepoint attempts. The first, from Shalvoy was no good, but Watts converted one of two at the line after the Trailblazers had bagged a crucial offensive rebound. Rivers then scored to make it 93-87 with 34 seconds left, before a three-point attempt from Dorr failed to drop. It meant the Trailblazers were forced to foul and they had three to give before Chavis was sent to the line, where he converted two for an eight point lead with just twenty seconds remaining. Anyone who thought it was game over at that point hadn’t bargained for Derby’s incredible resolve. Watts hit a three-pointer and having forced a turnover, Shalvoy added another. With eight seconds left on the clock, Worthing immediately called for time-out and the Trailblazers couldn’t believe their luck when Thunder’s pressurised inbounds pass fell straight into the hands of Watts for a vital steal. Derby quickly worked the ball up court and as the seconds ticked down, Worthing worked hard to prevent an inside option. As it was, it fell to Watts to go for glory with a threepoint attempt that would have won the game. It was one of those moments when everything went into slow motion and both he and a packed Noel-Baker Sports Hall were left devastated when the shot clanged back off the metalwork. Head Coach Matt Shaw was never-the-less philosophical in defeat: “Being down by eight with twenty seconds left and still having a shot to win it at the end shows the fight we have in the team. I thought we battled all game, but you have to give credit to Worthing because they shot the ball very well,” he said. Allen was probably the pick of the Thunder’s marksmen, converting seven of 13 three-point attempts on his way to twenty-three points, although Chavis perhaps had the best all-round game with thirty points, six rebounds and eleven assists. Derby were led by May-Thompson, who produced a double-double of 27 points and ten rebounds, while Dorr added 23 points and Goldsbrough was impressive on the boards, capturing fourteen rebounds, seven at each end of the court.

Worthing opened the game with a pair of threepointers from Milton Chavis and Louis Allen, but four straight points from Raheem May-Thompson in the form of a basket and a pair of free-throws quickly got Derby back on track. Derby Trailblazers gained a degree of revenge on Sunday night as they put together an accomplished performance on the south coast, which resulted in an 83-73 victory over Worthing Thunder in the quarterfinal of the Men’s Trophy. Derby will now travel to Manchester Magic on Sunday 8th February in the semifinals of the competition. Derby travelled to Worthing on Sunday with a make-shift team which was missing John Stewart, Lamar Morrison, Lee Goldsbrough and Kayne King. To compensate, Head Coach Matt Shaw kitted up for the first time since taking charge and Paul Bowen was joined on the bench by Deivids Krevalis, who was playing his first game in a year, after recovering from injury. Despite the under strength nature of their squad, Derby were determined to make amends for their slip up at home to Worthing in NBL Division one the previous night. The players travelled down to Worthing straight after the league match and stayed in local hotel, a strategy with Shaw says reaped benefits for the Trailblazers. “Travelling on Saturday certainly helped us. Although we didn’t get to Worthing until the early hours, our players were a lot fresher than they would have been if we’d travelled the two hundred or so miles immediately before the game. “We were also able to watch game tape of Saturday’s game and make some necessary adjustments, particularly defensively. We played a lot more zone defence in Sunday’s match and that was partly due to the personnel we had available and partly as a result of what we had seen at Noel-Baker. “It was pleasing to see how well we bounced back after the disappointment of Saturday’s game and I felt our guys seemed very fresh and showed excellent 10 The two sides exchanged baskets, with Alex Dorr adding the next four points for Derby before Worthing launched a 7-0 burst as Tomas Seduikis scoring inside and out to put Thunder 17-8 ahead and prompt a Trailblazers time-out. And what a difference the break in proceedings produced. A Chris Shalvoy three-pointer sparked eight straight points for Derby as they cut the gap to 17-16. Worthing closed the first quarter with another triple from Allen and took a four point lead into the first break. The second quarter belonged to the Trailblazers, as they took the period 27-9. A pair of baskets from Dorr was interspersed by a basket from Dan Watts and a three-pointer from John Gould as the Trailblazers hit nine straight points and forced Worthing into a timeout with 5’12” on the clock. of free-throws from Rivers and Chavis, both of whom could only convert one of two at the line. Gould struck again from down-town just three minutes later, before Shalvoy joined in with his second of the game, stretching the lead to 41-28. Worthing responded with a triple from Baker, before Dorr hit the final four points of the half and Derby went in with a 45-31 advantage. After that, Worthing seemed to find an extra gear. Their three-point shots suddenly started to drop, with six of their twelve successful scores coming in the final period. That they attempted a staggering thirty-nine shots from beyond the arc almost defies belief and perhaps explains why it was never going to be their night. It has been a superb defensive effort from the Trailblazers, who restricted the home side to just four field goals in the ten minute spell and the prolific high scorer Hank Rivers managed just one basket in the whole of the first half. It did however make for an exciting finale, particularly when Allen’s fifth triple of the day left the home side trailing by just seven points, at 80-73 with less than a minute remaining. From Derby’s perspective, the highlight of the final period and perhaps the game as a whole was a monstrous single –handed jam from May-Thompson. Worthing started the third period in a better vein of form, hitting seven of the first nine points, as they cut the gap to 47-38. However, a Derby time-out refocused the Trailblazers, who embarked on a 14-2 run of their own. Shalvoy drained a pair of three-pointers during the spell, in which Thunder were restricted to a pair Twitter: @derbyblazers & Facebook: facebook.com/derbytrailblazersclub The run took Derby’s advantage to 61-40, but their biggest lead of the night came early in the fourth quarter, as Dorr opened the scoring with a two-pointer which left the Trailblazers 69-45 in the ascendancy. Allen also fouled May-Thompson as the ball was dunked over him, but the Derby forward unfortunately missed the bonus shot, leaving the Trailblazers 72-52 ahead. It was a pleasing score for Derby for MayThompson, particularly as it came against a side which is known for their own explosive and at times flamboyant style of play. Thunder’s late rally forced Derby into a number of turnovers, but those two superb spells in the second and third quarters meant the Trailblazers had already done enough to secure their progression into the semifinals of the Men’s Trophy. Worthing: Chavis 20, Allen 17, Baker 12, Seduikis 8, Rivers 7, Brown 5, Okoronkwo 4, Hind-Wills 0, Williams 0. Derby: Dorr 21, Shalvoy 20, May-Thompson 19, Gould 17, Watts 5, Denholm 4, Krevalis 2, Bowen 0, Shaw DNP. Join the players for an after match get together at The Lodge. See page 4...

The Rockets ground out a 73-69 home win over Essex Leopards last weekend, a win that saw them overtake the Trailblazers and move into second place, while we slipped into fourth spot. Derby’s trip to Rivermede back in November resulted in a last gasp victory, as the Trailblazers won 89-88, spurred on by 22 points from Dan Watts and 21 from Alex Dorr, both of whom came up with some huge plays down the stretch. The Trailblazers had overcame a fifteen point second quarter deficit, but twice took a nine point lead in the third, before finding themselves trailing by five late in the game. However, an offensive rebound from Alex Dorr sparked the 11-5 run which sealed a memorable victory, which teamwork was paramount. Chris Shalvoy dished off eleven assists and Dan Watts adding a further ten perfect passes and three blocked shots to his game high points tally. As for tonight, Assistant Coach Steve Baxter says the fixture will be one of the most difficult Derby will face in the remainder of the season, particularly as Reading are currently on a ten game unbeaten run in terms of league play: “Reading will be a very tough match, no doubt about it. They have probably been the most consistent performing team in the division over the last five or six years. We will of course be looking to bounce back after a disappointing weekend last time out and hope that at least three of the players who missed the trip to Kent will be available, which will undoubtedly make us stronger. “It’s now getting very close at the top end of the table so to get a win, and with it the head to head over Reading could be crucial. It was a very close game at their place earlier in the season and we will be going all out to repeat that result. It 12 appears that Alex Zurn could be missing through injury for Reading and he had a huge game against us last time, but if he does play we must do a better job of not letting him get open three-point looks. “Danny Carter missed out through injury in our first matchup against them, but since his return he has some really big games. He’s a difficult matchup for opponents because of his size and ability to hit the outside shot. One of the strengths of Reading is their depth. They have seven or eight players who can have good scoring games on any given night, so we need to do a good job collectively in making it difficult for them to score. “To me, defence is key. We have ample players that can score enough points to win us games, but we have to do a better job stopping our opponents. This has been the case most of the season and it’s something we are working hard to put right in training. We have made some improvements, but there are still too many lapses where teams get easy scores. If we can make Reading work hard for every point it will create opportunities for us to get out on a run, which is where this team really thrives. “Our confidence in our own ability remains high, despite last weekend’s results. We know that if we had had our full strength squad available, or anything close to it, we would have given a much better showing of ourselves, but the players who came in did a good job and we fought hard in both games. “We have ten league games left and while some teams have slightly more, it’s fair to say all of the sides around us are very likely going to lose before the end of the season. Our only losses at home in the league have been by three and two points respectively, so we feel we are a match for anyone at Noel-Baker. With six of our last ten games taking place at home, we will be looking for a noisy home support to spur us on to victory. Hopefully you can oblige!

It was scrappy at times, there were few big scoring runs from either side and the intensely physical play coupled with strong defence meant both sides were guilty of committing more mistakes than might ordinarily have happened. As expected, league positions counted for nothing. Derby went into the game as leaders of NBL division one, while the Warriors were in eighth place, but there was never more than a handful of points separating the two sides. As it was, it was the Trailblazers who notched up the biggest lead of the game at 50-44 courtesy of an Alex Dorr three-pointer early in the third quarter. They also held on to take a valuable two-point win, despite Leicester managing to forge ahead late in the final quarter. However, successive three-pointers from Dorr and Chris Shalvoy put paid to Leicester’s giant-killing aspirations and ensured Derby remain top of the division one table, to the delight of Head Coach Matt Shaw: “It was a very satisfying league win, because it’s never easy to play against the Warriors. They have one of the best defences in the league and make life very difficult. That said, I felt we defended pretty well ourselves, especially in the second half and in the last few minutes got some crucial stops. “Our offence wasn’t at its smoothest but again down the stretch we hit some big shots. We can certainly play better basketball but this was about digging out a win and I thought the guys did really well in that respect,” he said. Derby began the match with the same line-up which brought success against Worthing in the Trophy just under a week ago, with Raheem May-Thompson and John Gould utilised in preference to John Stewart and Lee Goldsbrough. May-Thompson got off to a great start for the Trailblazers, combining with Shalvoy to net Derby’s first eleven points of the game. Former Trailblazers guard Carl Pearson on the score-sheet early for Leicester as he sank a long range effort from downtown. American forward Derek Knutty also netted six early points and by the mid-point of the first quarter the two sides were tied at eleven-all. The introduction of Goldsbrough and Stewart off the bench made an immediate impact, with the pair adding two and four points respectively. Former Trailblazers 14 player Leome Francis caused a few problems for Derby over the next few minutes, adding six points for the home side, before a Shalvoy triple ended the opening period with the Blazers 20-19 ahead. The two sides exchanged baskets early in the second, but the Trailblazers were hampered by Dorr finding himself in foul trouble, which limited his first half involvement. The American was held scoreless before the break and was only able to attempt four shots in that time. Midway through the period, Gould struck from downtown to open up a 29-25 lead, but the Warriors responded with a pair of free-throws and a threepointer from Leon Henry which saw them briefly take the lead. However eight points from May-Thompson and another seven from Shalvoy helped Derby closed the period with an 18-14 run which saw them leading 47-44 at the break. The third quarter was something of a turgid affair. A long range basket from Dorr finally opened his account and put the Trailblazers 50-44 ahead, but they struggled to further extend their lead. Despite having several good looks at the basket, Derby missed an uncomfortably high number of open shots. Fortunately, the Warriors were also out of sorts and the twenty-six points scored within the period were evenly shared at thirteen-all, leaving the Trailblazers to protect a 60-57 advantage as the game entered the final ten minutes. Derby were dealt a major blow early in the fourth, when Dorr was called for fourth foul when Knutty grabbed an offensive rebound and seemed to clatter into the Blazers American. When Henry drained a three-pointer with 4’46” on the clock, the Trailblazers called a time-out in a bid to protect their 66-65 lead, but it was Henry who was next to score, putting the Warriors in font by one. Dan Watts then tied the scores with one of two at the line, before a technical foul on Pearson sent Shalvoy to the line. Although he made the bonus point, Derby were unable to score off the possession. Instead, a Jason Tucker three-pointer was followed up by a mid-range jump-shot from Francis and suddenly the Trailblazers were 72-69 down with less than two minutes remaining. Thankfully, Dorr responded with a big three-pointer of his own courtesy of a Shalvoy assist to tie matters at 72-all. Twitter: @derbyblazers & Facebook: facebook.com/derbytrailblazersclub With 1’27” on the clock, the Warriors called time-out but it didn’t help their cause, as Derby got a stop, after which Shalvoy hit another big three-pointer to put the Trailblazers 75-72 up. Both sides then missed shots before Warriors called their final time-out with around twenty seconds left. Rather than attempting to tie the game with a threepointer, Leicester somewhat surprisingly opted to take the ball inside in a bid to score and draw a foul, thereby forcing overtime. With five seconds remaining, Henry scored but failed to draw any contact, as the Trailblazers players smartly moved out of his way. That left Derby 75-74 ahead and they used their final timeout to make sure they could have the ball advanced to the half court. When play resumed, the Trailblazers worked the ball to May-Thompson who was fouled on the buzzer with his legs literally swept from under him. Initially, it was signalled that time had expired before the foul, but after a lengthy consultation with the table, two shots were awarded and May-Thompson made one of his two shots to seal an important 76-74 away win. Shalvoy led the Trailblazers with 23 points, to which he added five assists, three rebounds and three steals. May-Thompson completed a double-double with nineteen points and ten rebounds, but also added five steals and three blocks. Elsewhere, Watts finished with seven points, eight boards and four assists, Goldsbrough pulled down seven rebounds and grabbed three steals and Stewart combined six points with five assists, leaving Assistant Coach Steve Baxter reasonably happy with the result: “It was a typical scrappy game, which was exactly what I was expecting. Neither side shot the ball particularly well, but that was partly because of the strong defence being played by both teams. I thought Chris played very well for us and Raheem was brilliant at times,” he said.

As they went into the most important weekend of their season so far, it became apparent that Alex Dorr, John Gould, Lee Goldsbrough and Lamar Morrison would all be unavailable for the top of the table D1 clash away to Kent Crusaders. While Goldsbrough made a return for Sunday’s National Trophy Semi-Final away to Manchester Magic, Dorr was ruled out after testing his ankle during the warm up. It was therefore hardly surprising that the Trailblazers were beaten in both matches against quality opposition. On both occasions, Coach Matt Shaw was forced to kit up to bolster the numbers and he got his first taste of D1 basketball in Sunday’s Trophy match, a game which also saw Academy scholar Jake Wesselingh leaving the D3 match in Derby early, in order to help out. All in all, the Trailblazers did a better job of acquitting themselves on Sunday, but Shaw admits it was a bitterly disappointing couple of days: “It was a tough weekend, but we have to put things into perspective. With four guys absent on Saturday and three on Sunday it was always going to be tough. I was pleased with the effort the guys put in, particularly as we had several guys racking up over seventy minutes of court time, but they never gave up,” he said. With Derby so desperately short on numbers on Saturday, Alex Denholm made his first start for the club and in twenty-six minutes of court time, he demonstrated the kind of skills he often displays in for the Derby Wolves University team. He finished with four points, gathered four rebounds and produced an impressive block as he swatted away a shot from Akwase Yeboah midway through the third-quarter. Paul Bowen and Deivids Kravalis also contributed well in extended court-time, but it was Chris Shalvoy who led the team with thirty points, which included eight of 19 three-point attempts. Elsewhere, Raheem May-Thompson’s haul of twenty-six points featured an impressive 12/15 from the free-throw line, while John Stewart was the only other Derby player to make double figures, finishing with twelve points. Overall, it wasn’t a good shooting night for the Trailblazers, who converted just 32% from the field, compared to Kent’s 51%, but it was probably in terms of rebounding where the Crusaders dominated most, using their considerable height advantage to capture almost double the amount of missed shot as Derby could manage, at 62-33. The Trailblazers led just once in the match, when Stewart struck from downtown after two minutes via a Shalvoy assist to put Derby 8-7 ahead. However, that lead was cancelled out just twenty-three seconds later, as Calvin Nevil-Kintu produced a threepoint buzzer beater. It was one of seven three-pointers Kent converted in the first quarter and by halftime, they had struck twelve times from downtown. Thankfully, the Trailblazers did a better job with their perimeter defending after the break and the Crusaders were restricted to just four more long range baskets. By the eighth minute, Kent were 35-16 ahead and Derby were facing a mountain, but there was worse to come in the second quarter. After May-Thompson opened the scoring with a jump shot, the Crusaders added the next nineteen points without reply. Indeed it was over five minutes until the Trailblazers troubled the scorers again, with another jumper from May-Thompson, which took the score to 58-28. Kent’s biggest lead of the game came with just over a minute of the first half remaining, as Nevil-Kintu converted a jump shot to put his side 69-35 ahead. From that stage onwards, the Trailblazers kept pace with their opponents and they twice managed to cut the gap to twenty-one points. The latter of those occasions came as Shalvoy converted his final three-pointer, taking the score to 102-81 with five minutes remaining. However, they missed their final nine points and turned the ball over twice to rule out any chance of what would have been a remarkable last gasp recovery. In summing up, Coach Shaw commented that he felt Kent had been excellent throughout: “They just didn’t seem to miss a shot, particularly in the first half and we just couldn’t keep pace. Without Alex and Lee we also really struggled on the glass which was a big factor,” he said. Kent: Akomolafe 24, Steel 18, Nevil-Kintu 17, Kundrotas 11, A. Yeboah 11, Smith 10, Pinnock 9, Orija 5, Kerlin 4, K. Yeboah 2. Derby: Shalvoy 30, May-Thompson 26, Stewart 12, Denholm 8, Watts 5, Bowen 0, Krevalis 0, Shaw 0.

However, his ankle was deemed to be causing too much concern for him be involved. The Trailblazers actually got off to a good start, winning the tip and using almost the entire 24 seconds of their opening possession before a tightly marked Shalvoy found the space to knock down a huge three-pointer. Missed shots followed for Manchester’s Ellis Cooper and Derby’s Dan Watts before Goldsbrough blocked an attempt from Alvaro Alarcon-Lizaur. That was the cue for MayThompson to leap into action, first grabbing the defensive rebound then hurtling down court at full pace to slam the ball home, while at the same time, drawing a foul from Franc Garcia-Garrido. He converted the bonus and suddenly Derby were 6-0 ahead inside the first minute. Manchester, being famed for their own traditionally explosive starts, must have been left wondering quite what had hit them. They eventually got off the mark through Simon Anumba, who added a pair of free-throws after a Blazers turnover prompted a foul to stop an easy score. John Stewart then scored via an offensive rebound of his own missed shot and after a pair of free-throws for Magic, May-Thompson scored a pair of baskets either side of a steal to restore a six point lead. The lead was cut to five as Jack Minister scored from inside and out either side of a Watts bucket for Derby and moments later it was down to a single point as Minister added four more points. Stewart then made it 18-15 before MayThompson picked up a second foul and was forced to sit with nine points and four rebounds. With the explosive forward out of the way, Manchester began a run which literally changed the outcome of the game. They concluded the 18 first quarter with a 10-2 run and started the second with a 9-0 burst which even an early Trailblazers time-out couldn’t address. The impressive American Cooper was at the forefront of both runs, netting twelve of the nineteen points and Magic were 34-23 up before May-Thompson ended the drought with a highly pressurised three-pointer off the backboard. Manchester responded with a three-pointer from Minister, the first of three in the quarter. His last took the scores to 47-32 and prompted a Derby time-out. Neither side scored over the next two minutes and Shaw had seen enough. He vented his frustrations by entering the fray as a player for the first time and with virtually his first touch, he delivered a wonderful pass to MayThompson, but was denied of a deserved assist as the unchallenged three-point shot clanged back off the ironwork. It proved to be a costly mistake though, as Manchester were quickly down court to convert a three-pointer of their own. Stewart then brought the visiting crowd to their feet with a slam dunk via a Watts assist, before consecutive scores from the home side saw them take a 54-34 lead into the locker rooms at the half-time break. Derby started the third quarter well. A foul by Garcia-Garrido sent Watts to the line where he converted a trio of free-throws and after Magic responded with four straight points, the Trailblazers set off on a 9-2 burst, with MayThompson at the centre of it. After sinking a pair of free-throws, he completed an insanely difficult off balance reverse lay-up and drew a foul. He converted the bonus and after baskets for Manchester’s Cantwell and Derby’s Watts, he grabbed an offensive rebound and scored another two points, cutting the deficit to just fourteen points at 60-46. What happened next was contentious. The Trailblazers produced some stifling defence for the entirety of the next shot clock. They thought Twitter: @derbyblazers & Facebook: facebook.com/derbytrailblazersclub they had forced a twenty-four second violation but instead, the referees called a foul on MayThompson as he attempted to steal the ball. At the other end, the impressive Cooper led Magic with a double-double of 24 points, 19 rebounds, 7 steals and 4 assists. Such things can change the momentum of a game and that clearly seemed to have happened as Manchester embarked on a 14-5 run. A pair of Watts’ free throws along with a three-pointer from Denholm were Derby’s only scores within the spell, which opened up a 74-51 lead for the Magic. One late highlight in the third came as Wesselingh swished a three-pointer courtesy of a Goldsbrough assist. As for Derby, Coach Shaw was pleased with manner in which his injury ravaged team competed, particularly after the disappointment of the previous day: The Trailblazers weren’t going down without a fight though and once again, it was MayThompson who sparked the last ditch challenge. His two pairs of free-throws either side of a basket from open play reduced the gap to 88-73 with three and a half minutes remaining, but that was a close as they could get towards reaching the final. May-Thompson ended the week in which he celebrated his birthday with a 31 point haul, which included twelve of fourteen at the line. He also added 16 rebounds, two steals and a blocked to complete a monstrous weekend. “Against Manchester we started well but they had an outstanding run at the end of the first and start of the second quarter and I felt that was the crucial part of the game. Overall, we gave up way too many points and we’ll have to tighten that up in the coming weeks, because it’s not easy to get a win if you’re giving up 100 points,” he said. Magic: Cooper 24, Minister 22, Cantwell 17, Alarcon-Lizaur 10, Anumba 6, Garcia-Garrido 6, Swindells 6, Regent-Bascombe 4, Fortnam 2, Regan 2, Darbey 0.

King proved instrumental as the Trailblazers produced their best performance of the season to end Myerscough College’s unbeaten start to their campaign, 77-75. The 6’2” guard had 11 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter, and added 9 assists while helping Derby pull out the big win. “Kayne was excellent today, especially in the fourth quarter,” Derby Head Coach Matt Shaw said. “He made good decisions down the stretch and got to the free throw line well. He hit 2 key free throws with 6 second left to seal the game. I am happy for Kayne to win Player of the Week, I think his fourth quarter performance probably got him the nod.” D3 Men: Derby’s playmaker went 8/10 at the free throw line, added 4 rebounds, and 2 steals for the victory. U18 Prem: Away to Cheshire Wire; 4pm at Priestley College “I really enjoyed the game, I think it’s the best we’ve played as a team all season,” King said. “We had a good game plan and for the most part we stuck to it well. Near the end they were really focusing on Wess (Jake Wesselingh) as he’d scored a lot in the first half. It meant I could get to the basket and I was happy that I was able to help the team by scoring. It shows us that when we play well, we can beat really good teams, so hopefully this week should be a springboard for more wins.” Derby, now 5-3, will travel to County Upper (3-7) on Wednesday as they look to continue their momentum.
