The Intermediate Boys A Team created history, securing Lakeside’s first Secondary Boys Basketball pennant in 7 years. In a thrilling final, the boys held their nerve, with Zack J delivering late-game heroics to secure victory. His outstanding performance earned him the MVP of the Final, a well-deserved recognition for his leadership and skill.
Reflecting on the win, Year 12 student and coach Oscar said, “The boys played with so much heart today. They trusted each other, stayed composed under pressure, and it was incredible to see them rewarded with a pennant. I couldn’t be prouder.”
Our Intermediate Girls Team also shone brightly throughout the day. They recorded two strong wins, fought out a hard-fought tie against Koo Wee Rup, and narrowly lost to eventual winners Kambrya. Their consistent effort and teamwork saw them finish 2nd overall, an excellent result against tough competition.
