[20:18:43] <B_Ball_GOD> Aye, good choice. As internationally despite his slighly poor performance against us, Hugh Humber is certainly up there. Even if his nick is a total rip off of SuperDude.

Women Face Bazalonia in Finals
Win over Ereeland puts 95X in its first finals
Myrtannia - One day after the Men's 105-94 loss to Bazalonia, the women from 95X suddenly became the only team from the nation in the Atlantian Oceania Basketball Championship.
And, an 88-85 win over Ereeland, which saw 20-point performances by both Kristin and Danielle Hazel, has vaulted them into the final round against - Bazalonia.
The women went 1-1 against the Dribbling Bazettes in the group round, and have new reason to try to win the game. Not just for the championship, but also to do something the men didn't - defeat Bazalonia in the Tournament Round.
"Several people have asked me why we're not discounting this," says Mark Walters, Women's Coach, on the fact the AOBC had only four women's participants. "I tell them if they played their sport for their country, they'd understand."
The 95X Women went 3-4 in group play; Bazalonia's Women were 2-5, and knocked off favorites Myrtannia.

Bazalonian Basketball Bounce!

That was the headline, or derivations of , in a number of Bazalonian newspapers. They detailed the lacklustre group performance both of the mens and womens team who finished third and 4th in their group of 4 respectively. With the Mens only getting 2 wins in their six matches and the women sitting with only one win. However both teams pulled it out when needed with the Dribbling Bazalopes pulling out 3 wins against opponents that according to the group table should have pummeled them teams, particularily Lamoni.

The women narrowly missed out their final by one point an an extremely exciting and close match. The lead kept changing throughout the women's final as neither team could get a real foothold this game as it was rather unexpectedly physical. No one was sent off but there where more fouls than usual for the usually well behaved team. In the end the Dribbling Bazzettes had a small chance to take the win with a long shot but it missed, The 95-X womens team had bettean them by 1 point. However the women where still upbeat in the end surprised they got as far as 2nd in the tournament.

..........

The Bazalonian men where extatic with their win and congratulated the gnomes on a well faught game. In a speech at the end they congratulated all the teams they facedon performing well and said that just getting to the finals where a big surprise. They and the women cannot wait for the next AORBC

From the Pacific City Courier
95X Women Win AOBC 4
Written off by almost everyone, underdogs win Championship
Myrtannia - After the game, 95X guard Ashley Maranz described the final second of the game as lasting "an eternity."
One of Bazalonia's best shooters with the ball at 20 feet. Ball leaves her hands as she shoots. The final buzzer sounds in mid-air. The shot falls off the side of the backboard.
95X had won its first International Championship by a score of 100-99.
"I'd like to thank everyone back home for this," says Jessica Whitney. "It's been a lot of work, and we made it."
The game was an arduous one, with each team scrambling for every rebound, almost each bucket answered with a follow-up at the other end, and defense so heavy it could be cut with a knife.
At the end, it was Janelle Foxwood's 15-footer with 10 seconds to go that put 95X up by 1.
"I told them the rest of the tournament record didn't count," coach Mark Walters said. "Think of this game as two minutes to go in the fourth quarter, with the score tied - either of us could win."
Ryan Powell, whose 95X Men's team suffered a first round KO by the Bazalonian Men's team was in attendance, and a reporter from XBN asked him how it felt to see a 95X team win a championship - just not his team.
Before having the chance to answer, an excited Kristin Hazel, who was just behind the two, turned around and screamed, "never send a boy to do a woman's job!," a comment which she later apologized for.
Powell replied later that night that no apology was necessary, as he was still glad to see a 95X team win, even though it wasn't his.
"It was great to be here, I hope to see everyone at the next tournament," he concludes.
