Basketball - Grade 5/6 Boys
On Tuesday the 15th of October the 5/6 boys went to Dream Street arena to play the 2nd round of the boys lighting premiership basketball.
The team included Matthew Horne, Jayden and Jordan Chunga, Rafferty Treadrell, Jaxon Edwards, Braxton Garner, Jackson Doughty, Zac Sullivan, Connor Boyd, and Hamish Howden.
Game 1: St A’s vs Woodlands
The bus driver was 30 minutes late and took the wrong turn, so we were already in a rush. Woodlands were a very skilled team and experienced.
It was a challenging game for us. It was close all game but in the end they took it away from us. Despite that tough loss we went strong into the next game.
Game 2: St A’s vs Alder Court
We came into this game with our offence swinging with all our players clicking.
It was a really fun day playing basketball!
