Jets maintains the 4th position in Australian Big V. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Sunbury won both games without losing any. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team's last game Yorke-Frazer had a remarkable 62.5% from 2-point range and got nine three-pointers out of 18 attempts. He turned to be Jets's top player in his first season with the team.

Batte impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 20 points and 17 rebounds. Of course he led Gators to another comfortable win outscoring Blackburn (0-2) 86-51.
