Olympians are setting the bar high in the early rounds of the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Basketball Association’s women’s second division after last week grabbing a decisive win against Spartans, 52-26.

The red-and-whites’ effort was led by Stevie Worthington, who shot a game-high 18 points that was complemented by Jada Hansen’s 10 points.
