Pepper's 50-Point Blitz Powers Senators' Victory

The Warwick Senators stormed past Lakeside Lightning 117-79 on Saturday at Lakeside Recreation Centre, delivering a commanding performance from start to finish. Elijah Pepper led the charge for Warwick with a blistering 50-point explosion, shooting an impressive 72 percent from the field including nine triples from downtown. The Senators dominated in every facet, connecting on 42 percent of their shots from outside compared to Lakeside's dismal 24 percent. Their ball movement was superior too, dishing out 22 assists while maintaining an efficient 85 percent from the charity stripe. Despite the lopsided result, Corey Shervill put in a solid shift for Lakeside with 20 points and nine boards. Isaiah Lewis added 19 points, but the Lightning struggled to find rhythm against Warwick's stifling defence. The home side managed to control the glass with 19 offensive rebounds compared to Warwick's six, but couldn't convert those extra possessions into points. **WARWICK SENATORS 117 (Elijah Pepper 50, George Pearl 16, Kye Chamberlain 11).** **LAKESIDE LIGHTNING 79 (Corey Shervill 20, Isaiah Lewis 19, Joshua Davey 10).** #NBL1West #BucketGetter
