BIGV MEN'S PLAYER OF THE WEEK: BRAD KELLEHER - Waverley Falcons

Waverley's Brad Kelleher simply dominated in the Falcons' annihilation of Latrobe City this week, ensuring them a spot in the finals and awarding Kelleher CM Player of the Week honours for Week 15.

In the Falcons' 62-point win, which saw the team amass 162 points to Latrobe City's 100, Kelleher played 37 minutes and scored 48 points, which included a shooting percentage of 72% from the field, 62% from the three-point line and 66% from the free-throw line.

Teamed with 11 assists, four rebounds and two steals, Kelleher simply dominated the court, equalling the second highest individual score of the season.

With a weekend of double headers ahead, the Falcons will need another great performance from Kelleher to secure the two wins and be a tough force in the finals. After a week like this, he is sure to be a force to be reckoned with for any opposition.

Other contenders this weekend included:
- Latrobe City's Jameel Pugh shot a league season-high score of 53 points in Latrobe City's loss to Waverley.
- The Rangers' Brent Hobba dominated in their win over Warrnambool, with 30 points and 12 rebounds.
- Bobby Cunningham shared MVP honours in Warrnambool's loss to Dandenong with 27 points including three three-pointers. Teamed with Timothy Gainey with 25 points and Lester Strong with 27 points and 15 rebounds, the boys once again proved tough competition despite their loss.
- Ringwood's Willie Weimer was the game's MVP with 25 points, followed closely by an outstanding game from teammate Joel Seach who had an incredible double-double of 23 points and 22 rebounds.
- Hume City's Pierre Jallow had 23 points and 18 rebounds and, teamed with Mike Spears with 26 points and 10 rebounds, proved too much for Diamond Valley's Senad Dizdarevic with 23 points and 14 rebounds.
- The Sabres' George Williams put in an MVP performance with 28 points and 11 rebounds in their annihilation of Werribee.

BIGV WOMEN'S PLAYER OF THE WEEK: TEGAN FOWLER - Sandringham Sabres

Sandringham's Tegan Fowler has once again continued her dominating season, this week securing herself her fourth CW Player of the Week for the year.

Despite a devastating six-point loss to the Wildcats that saw the Sabres finish the week in fifth, Fowler once again stepped up and performed, keeping the final score close and scoring herself 28 points and 14 rebounds for the match.

Fowler was once again the undisputed MVP of the match, and with two tough games this coming weekend against Dandenong and Geelong, the Sabres will be relying on Fowler to put in another huge double-double to reclaim fourth spot, and a chance at playing finals.

Other contenders this weekend included:

- Michelle Couling led the way for the Wildcats with 21 points and six rebounds in their win over the Sabres.
- Tess Mayer's double-double of 17 points and 12 rebounds helped the Rangers to a big win over Coburg.
- Geelong's Candice Rogers had a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds in their upset against Hume City.
- Melbourne's Ebony Just dished out 12 assists against Bulleen, which put her in equal fifth place in the BigV all-time record for a single game.
