Diocesan Basketball Championships

Congratulations to the Year 7 – 9 College basketball team that competed at the Diocesan Championships on Monday the 16 October. 

The girls were outstanding during the pool matches beating St Joseph’s, St Benedict’s, St Francis and Mt Carmel and only losing the one game to eventual championship runners up Holy Spirit. These excellent results allowed the girls to qualify for the semi finals where they were matched up against an extremely strong St Mary’s team. This particular St Mary’s team consisted of no less than 5 current national championship players which was going to make it a very difficult task to progress to the final. Unfortunately, the girls went down but managed to score 1 of only 3 points St Mary’s conceded throughout the whole championship. The girls then went into a playoff for 3rd and 4th position but were narrowly defeated by St John’s.

A massive congratulations to the girls and their coach Mr Nash on their outstanding performance.

The team consisted of Patressa A-L, Isabella K, Chloe C, Charlize F, Kailin K, Olivia L, Maliha L, Sophie P, Valentina S-M and Jemma S. Coach Mr Nash.
