ACC Championship Senior Basketball

This term in basketball the ACC Championship Senior Basketball teams have been very competitive in their competitions. The students have been putting in hard work in their classes in preparation for the competition. After playing the last fixtured game this week both teams have enjoyed an excellent season.

Boys Team:

Vs Lumen Christi               W (52-24)

Vs Corpus Christi              L (52-38)

Vs Emmanuel                     W (50-36)

Vs CBC Fremantle            L (50-36)

The boys have gained a lot of experience from the competition with players ranging from Years 9 - 12. The boys unfortunately won’t advance to the next round, however, as a team they have improved as a group. The boys were led by our seniors Aidan La Brooy and Ethan McShane but also had some strong contributions from Jack Sorrell, David Puttick, Derek Barton and Joshua Dodsley. While also receiving assistance from Kieran Overmars, Bailey Crossley and our youngest members who held their own throughout the competition in Lance Cornwall and Ethan Port-Louis. Overall the boys conducted themselves in an outstanding manner and displayed a high level of skill at times.

Girls Team:

Vs Lumen Christi               W (99-5)

Vs Corpus Christi              W (68-45)

Vs Emmanuel CC              W (101-15)

Vs St Brigid'                        W (70-30)

The girls, led by seniors Felicity Plewright and Nes’eya Williams with assistance from Laniesha Paddon, Ivy Harding and Shenae Hartree, quickly took control of all four games. The girls team continued to work together and improve over the course of the competition. Contributions from Ella and Chloe Reilly, Caitlyn Popelier and Polly King were exceptional and assisted the team in being competitive this term. The girls will now look to Term Two where they will compete against some of the top basketball schools in the State when they play finals.

All athletes should be commended on their efforts and sportsmanship shown throughout the ACC Championship Competition.
