Interhouse Swimming Carnival

On Friday 16 February, St Norbert College held the annual Interhouse Swimming Carnival at HBF Stadium. The atmosphere was fantastic all-day in testing conditions that wouldn’t stop the mascots from each House making known that they were there to support their House.

The annual Spirit Bear is awarded to the House that shows the best support, fills all events and is well organised. Congratulations to Prémontré House and Mr McGrath for winning the Spirit Bear.

The House trophy was a tightly fought contest with a number of Houses looking to take it out throughout the day. Congratulations to Magdeburg House and Mr Ah Fong for winning the House trophy. The total scores are below:

• 2nd - Tongerlo 4899
• 3rd - Xanten 4855

ACC Basketball

On February 16,  St Norbert College Senior Boys Basketball commenced the first game of the ACC Championship against Corpus Christi.

The game was a close one throughout with both teams sharing the lead throughout the first half. It wasn’t until a time-out from the Canons late the third quarter to settle Corpus Christi’s run and change the tempo in the game.  The Canon's defense sparked the run with the “General” Jesse Overmars leading the way and with steals from Blade Sartorelli, Ethan Port-Louis and Aaron Weldeslassie St Norbert College started to gain momentum. Our big men cleaned up the boards with Caleb Yende-Emoko, Armeyas Dejene-Teklu and Bob Watson making sure St Norbert College never gave up second chance points.

Ethan Port-Louis went on a 11-0 run in the fourth quarter which ballooned the margin out to 15 points and Corpus Christi College were unable to reel in the Canons as they went on to victory 60-45.

Next game is against Lumen Christi College.
