Lakes Accomplishments

Year 7 Basketball

Clive, Dante, Dean, Ethan, Miller, Shalom and Shammah put together a decent tournament today, falling one game short of the grand final. Mill Park and Whittlesea were pressured into turn-overs which led to 29 and 31 point victories respectively.

 

We gave a fright to eventual champions Mernda Central. After giving up a 20 point lead at half time, the boys forced turn-overs and intercepted in the offensive half of the court to bring the deficit back to 10 points with 5 minutes to go. Uncharacteristic errors cost us the game and we lost by 25 points.

 

The boys defeated Hazelglen in the 3rd place play-off with their trademark press defence returning to secure an 18 point win.

 

Everyone played well and demonstrated The Lakes values. There was even a remarkable piece of sportsmanship form Shammah who assisted an opposition player off the floor while his opponent ran to the basket and scored.
