Incredible finish missed by so many basketball fans means its time to bring some light to this league - Photo from Boti Nagy article, originally from WNBL site
So in 2020 as much as I love the 36ers and the NBL, I am switching my prime focus from the NBL to the WNBL with the same format. We at the Cross Over Dribble are all about what’s happening on and off the court and the WNBL is clearly a highly underrated league that gets not enough media time in the spotlight. So my aim over the next 12 months starting with January 17 following my media break will be covering the Adelaide Lightning home games including preview, strike back in history (so some serious data digging is going to occur but I love a challenge like that) and a quarter by quarter account of the highlights you most likely missed in an easy to read format.
And what an outstanding team to cover with recent Opals in Steph Talbot (who also plays for the Minnesota Lynx in the WNBA), Nicole Seekamp and Lauren Nicholson who are absolute stars of the competition. Former Opal Laura Hodges and some quality imports in Brianna Turner and Kathyrn Westbeld, the hustle and bustle from NBL1 Albury/Wodonga Bandits duo Natalie Hurst and Jessie Edwards and the youth brigade lead by Norwood Flames Premier League star Chelsea Brook, Hannah Kaser, Sturt Sabres Premier League players Ruby Porter and Danni Angley, utility and solid role players Jennie Rintala and Sarah Elsworthy and West Adelaide Bearcats Premier League explosive scoring machine Jasmin Fejo.
So will be looking forward to bringing you some comprehensive Lightning coverage which is much needed in this town but for now have a safe and great festive season and start to 2020 and we’ll see you after the National Baptist Carnival 2020 which I’ll be helping to cover over the next week.
