Basketball
With finals finally here for our College basketball winter teams, the stakes are high, and anything can happen, so each team has to fight and push to the end, showing the talent they have brought to the team.
U14B Girls – Snowy Owls
This week, the girls played in their qualifying final against Minders Blue and came out on top with a 14-point win. The girls didn’t stop fighting for the ball and worked together, with the bench and crowd cheering on the College Snowy Owls girls, building their confidence and helping them get over the line. They will be heading to the grand final in the coming weeks, so if you can, look out for times and come support the girls. Players of the day were Daisy Tigges and Henrietta Patterson, both putting up 5 points; both the girls weren’t afraid to get in there and have a real crack at the ball. The girls should be proud of their efforts this season, make the most of the grand final, and try their absolute hardest.
U16A Girls – Majestic Owls
The girls didn’t play this week because they'd already reached their semi–final, but they'll face Saint Mary’s next week in a big clash to determine who will then face Minders Blue in the grand final in the weeks to come. The girls have come so far and should be exceptionally proud of their efforts.
U16B Girls – Snowy Owls
This week the girls had another hard game going back up against Tigers in an unfortunate 36-point loss. With the girls playing in a qualifying final, they will get a second chance and go head-to-head against Minders in a semi–final, depending on what can be worked out, due to the majority of the girls going to the Year 9 Vietnam Trip and missing out on a final chance to make a grand final, which the girls know they have so much more to give. It was so nice to see the supporters in the crowd, from little siblings, getting into it and hyping the girls up no matter the outcome. A big thanks goes out to Pippa Quinn and Zoya M for stepping up as fill-ins for the night and trying to help the girls through tough times with injuries from players and sickness. Standout player Liv Baulch was getting toppled throughout the game but still gave everything a crack and put up 5 points that helped bring the margin back. Bad luck, girls, but don’t stop fighting for a spot in the grand finale.
Div 2 Women – Snowy Owls
This week the girls went head-to-head against Monivae in the qualifying final, taking home the win by 11 points. The girls had a slower start to the game, getting back into things, but when the second half came around, the girls were fired up and keen to get the win and secure a spot in the grand final, and that’s what they did. Players of the day were Saskia Gould, who put up 27 points for her team and was a key driver to the basket, alongside Izzy Malseed, who put up 10 points and had the opportunity to hit two crucial 3-pointers for the game. This was an amazing effort, and the girls have come a long way this season, and it was nice to see a college cheer squad come up in support and cheer on the girls.
Div 3 Women – Majestic Owls
College girls faced Barber Babes Black in their elimination final in a tight, back-and-forth match, but unfortunately they fell by 2 points. It was upsetting that the girls fell short, but they have come so far as a team and should be proud of their efforts and the skills they have developed and grown together. Isla McClure and Ava Ryan were the standout players, putting up 6 points and being key shooters and great defenders. Great effort this season, girls; it was amazing.
U12B – Sooty Owls
This week the girls went up against Saint Mary’s Black in the qualifying final with an unfortunate loss of 4 points, the girls played an exceptional game with great shooting coming from Harriet Small putting up 10 points for her team. The girls will then go head-to-head in a preliminary final next week, hoping to secure a spot in a grand final for what they aimed for.
