ACC Junior Basketball

Specialised Basketball teams recently competed in the ACC Junior Basketball Championships. The Junior Girls & Boys travelled to Warwick Stadium with sights on the competition. The anticipated tournament developed plenty of excitement because for some students it was their first time representing the College in an ACC competition.

The girls had an exceptional start to the day running away with a win in the first game of the day. Their biggest competition came in the second game of the day where the girls had a see-saw competition for the lead. The game went down to the wire with Aranmore scoring in the final moments to secure the victory. To the girls credit they learnt from the loss and continued to improve and win the remaining games left in the day.

The boys had an excellent start to the day against the International School where the boys played with great energy which ignited their offense. The following games against were challenging competition which tested the boys. However, the boys answered the challenge and elevated their game unfortunately for one of the games the Canons run out of time against Clontarf. Clontarf played exceptionally well to defeat the Canons in their only loss by 4 points.

In the boy’s division they are competing in a weekly competition at the moment. The boys are currently 3-0 and have all bought in to the team values. The current result is the best result by a St Norbert College Senior Boys since the ACC has introduced its competition and it is clear by the brand of basketball the boys are playing. A lot of teamwork, high level of skill is contributing factors to the success of the Canons.

The boys will look to make it 4 wins in a row on Tuesday 16 March @ St Norbert College. Game time will be about 4pm.
