This year our efforts in establishing a quality basketball program and having greater depth on our bench in each division paid off in the Basketball Gala day last Monday. It was a great day of basketball played in a really good spirit.
A quick last minute change to the Year 7 girls draw had everyone playing each other once with a straight 1 v 2 grand final. Thankfully they were able to get the 8/9 teams there so the draw remained consistent. The Year 7 boys and 8/9 boys and girls played in two pools.
Our teams were all the underdogs leading into the competition with St Luke's having won the previous years. Unfortunately we were not able to come away with any gold medals but managed to secure three seconds in the Year 7 girls, Year 7 boys and the Year 8/9 boys.
All our teams played hard throughout the day and despite some new formations and tactics took it all in their stride. Well done to all our teams.
Thank you to our coaches Mr Geering, Mr Driscoll, Mr Goodrick and Mr Schrack for being so flexible and enthusiastic on the day.
