Senior Boys Team

The senior boys team were gallant in defeat.  The boys came up against some stiff competition and were never out of the game, sadly they came away with no wins – however, challenged every team that opposed them.  The true spirit of Wangaratta High School was embossed with this team, they were respectful, showed kindness and helpful attitudes to both students and teachers on the day and were the epitome of good sports, showcasing our school values to the highest standard.  Well done boys, a great day out. 

Congratulations boys.

The next round is Thursday 10th August at the BARR reserve.
