The House Basketball Finals were eagerly anticipated, with a roaring crowd in the Rawdon 'Rawdy' Middleton Physical Education Centre cheering on Wilberforce to beat Carmichael. While the crowd was clearly in favour of Wilberforce, luck was not. 3 point shot after 3 point shot from Carmichael went through the net.
The only logical explanation is that someone from Slytherin - sorry – Carmichael, cast a levitation charm over the ball, with Rita Skeeter from the Daily Prophet reporting whispers of a Wingardium Leviosa charm – but at this point no rumours can be confirmed.
A devastating 1 point loss for Wilberforce saw Slytherin win the Basketball and on track to retain the house cup.
But as the old saying goes – it is not over till the fat lady sings. Wilberforce put in a super effort in the pool and won the swimming carnival, retaking the lead in the house cup.
Shout out to Wilberforce VC Brianna who does a great job leading the house and puts in stellar effort in the pool every year.
With scores now standing at Wilberforce – 1100, Carmichael – 1000, Lewis – 500, and Liddell 400, the tension is rising.
We look forward to some good competition ahead, and we wait with anticipation till Mr Williams sings at the end of Term 3.
