Scroll down to watch all the replays from Sunday’s action and discover the three things we learned below.
THREE THINGS WE LEARNED FROM DAY 2
STAYING AT THE RIM
Australia Capital Territory beat the Northern Territory 100-73 and their ability to breakaway came down to the endless work rate of Kofi Okai.
Okai had an incredible 16 rebounds, 11 offensive, to ensure the ACT started its national campaign off with a bang.
The talented teen also had four steals and will be one to watch when the ACT plays Victoria Country on day three.
STARS EMERGE EARLY
Two stars have been unearthed at the Under-16 Nationals already and both are hoping to lead the Queensland South male and female sides to their respective titles.
Jordan Kaesler dropped 32 points on two occasions on day two of the championships, first in a 91-76 win over Western Australia Metro and then again in a 79-68 win over South Australia Country.
Kaesler also had 12 assists and five rebounds against Western Australia.
In the girls Maddison Reisinger scored 38 points and had 15 rebounds on the way to guiding Queensland South to an 86-66 win over Tasmania.
Reisinger was backed up well by Jay Sebasio who had 10 assists and 14 rebounds.
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS
Hosts Victoria Country have made a blistering start to the tournament as they aim to win home championships in Bendigo.
Both the boys and girls outfits are 2-0 and have taken some big scalps in the process.
After taking care of SA Country on the opening day, the Vic boys put together a near-flawless second half to defeat NSW Metro 97-70 on Sunday.
Elijah Whiteford starred with 20 points and eight rebounds while Jackson Hood (12 points, 13 rebounds) and Edward Brown (14 points) were among several contributors for the hosts.
The girls meanwhile backed up a victory over SA Metro with another terrific performance, smashing WA Country 89-36.
Jada Hill led all scorers with 17 while Emily Iredell (13), Marley Alimpic (10) and Jade Chow (10) all hit double figures.
