The Crater will be rumbling tonight when the Mackay Meteors and Meteorettes take on Townsville, with the Meteorettes taking the court first for a special cause.
Suiting up in pink, the Meteorettes will play in the annual Shelley Rutland Memorial Fundraising game.
Everybody in attendance will have the chance to bid on their very own McDonald’s Mackay Meteorettes one-of-a-kind pink NBL1 singlets in the post-game jersey auction with funds raised going to the McGrath Foundation.
The Mackay teams will still be riding a high off the back of a successful triple-header campaign down south last weekend. The Meteorettes showed they are in final-winning form by claiming three from three wins.
In the first game they defeated the Ipswich Force 103-77. Miela Goodchild was cooking finishing the game with 32 points on 6/10 from downtown while Ellie Collins was also solid tallying 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals.
Monique Bobongie also added 13 points and 5 steals off the bench.
The Meteorettes then defeated RedCity Roar before claiming the hattrick, beating South West Metro Pirates 95-75. Alisia Jenkins finished with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals while Miela Goodchild also added 19 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in the match against the Pirates.
The Men’s side wasn’t burning quite as brightly, dropping game one on their southern road-trip, losing to the Ipswich Force 80-72.
Kyrin Galloway was superb for the Meteors posting a match high 26 points along with 8 rebounds. He well supported by a 15-point, 10 rebound double-double from Malok Majak.
The Meteors bounced back to win their next two, defeating RedCity Roar 98-91. They then posted an emphatic 34-point win against the South West Metro Pirates 82-48.
Jaylin Galloway was sensational dropping 25 points in 20 mins including 5/8 from 3-point range. Malok Majak added 17 points and 6 rebounds while Kye Medhurst tallied 10 points off the bench.
The action tips off tonight at the Mackay Multisports Stadium at 6:30pm.
