Intermediate Boys Basketball

The Intermediate Boys Basketball Team headed to the Northern Metro round robin and final on Wednesday 12th October. 

The boys had convincing wins over Whittlesea and Lalor and were pushed before defeating Australian International Academy 39-20.

The final against St Helena was a tied game at half time, but sadly the boys couldn’t claw back the 10 points St Helena put on at the start of the second half. 

Congratulations to our runner’s up team of Kristian R, Will P, Emmanuel M, Harry M, Andre C, Bailey L, Tommy M, Jack C and Aiden J.

And Eva Wilson entered into the 16 girls Discus, winning the event and setting herself a new personal best of 32.25m - beating her prior record by 2 metres.

Well done to all on your efforts - it doesn’t matter if you win or lose - you are amongst the best people in the state for your age group - that’s about 80,000 people!

Year 8 Girls Basketball

On Wednesday 19th October, the Year 8 Girls Basketball team competed at the Northern Metro Regional event. 

After winning a tough pool round against Preston & Hazel Glen, the girls met up with St Helena in the final. 

Unfortunately St Helena were too good on the day.

The team were fantastic all day and fought hard until the end!
