College Sport
Very big week of sport with the Diocesan Swimming Championships and the boys and girls Diocesan Touch Football Championships being held across the last week. MISA continued this week with mixed results across the different teams. Most teams are still in contention for finals in their sports and we wish students and coaches good luck going into the final weeks of the term.

Diocesan Swimming Championship
A very successful day for our Diocesan swim team, with some strong swimming on display from schools around the diocese. The day started with the medley relays where our junior teams performed strongly but missed out on podium finishes. This was followed by the speedy 50m Freestyle races, which suited some of our best swimmers. The day continued with three of our students gaining selection into the Wollongong Diocesan Swim Team to compete at the upcoming NSWCCC Swimming Championships in Homebush later this year. A big congratulations to Daniel Lill, Ava Antala, and Nathan Williams, who not only qualified for the Wollongong Diocesan team to compete at the NSWCCC Swimming Championships but also won age championships at the Diocesan Carnival for their respective age groups. This is a huge achievement, and we are very proud to have them at Mount Carmel Catholic College.

Volleyball Years 7-9 Boys NIMM |
VS THAC Loss 1-3 |
Jacob Baena & Matthew Thomas |
In a tightly contested match, the boys faced a well organised and determined Thomas Hassall side who dominated the first set, however, the boys fought back with powerful hits to clinch the win. The boys lacked communication in the second set, which allowed Thomas Hassall to secure a strong lead and win. The third set was a nail-biter, with Mount Carmel ahead early however, several missed chances enabled Thomas Hassall to rally, coming from behind to clinch the set and win the match. Jacob Baena and Matthew Thomas shared the MVP honours this week for their consistent performances in hitting, serving, and setting. Overall, despite the loss, the boys gained several valuable takeaways for future improvement. |

Despite dropping the first two games, our team rallied fiercely in the final game, showcasing unwavering determination. Caitlin Ramos earned one of the MVP honors for her outstanding communication skills and adept ball control, while Erica Tax's precise serves proved pivotal in securing the crucial victory, earning her the second MVP title of the week. |

Indoor Cricket Years 7-9 Girls OCOB |
VS MAG Loss 86-1 |
Emily Cooper |
The girls were ready for another hard fought battle on the cricket pitch, coming up against an experienced Magdalene team. Captain Samatha won the toss and elected to bowl first. MCCC bowled and fielded incredibly well keeping Magdalene to a total of 84 runs. Emily Cooper made the play of the game with a magnificently marvellous one handed catch off the net. Well done also to Faith Chilufya who bowled exceptionally well. The girls went in to bat but struggled against a strong Magdalene bowling attack. A bye next week will give the girls an opportunity to re-group and come back stronger in two weeks’ time. |

Basketball Years 10-12 Boys HARK |
VS JTCC Loss 72-49 |
Mario Aoun |
The team came up against a tough John Therry team today and while we didn’t get a win we have lots we can take away from the game and work on to be better next time. The team played well in patches but could not put it together for long enough to keep them close as the game went on. The MVP for the game was Mario Aoun who played strong inside scoring 10 points, 7 rebounds and a steal. |

Basketball Years 10-12 Girls ABRN |
VS JTCC Win 42-23 |
Jemma Riordan |
A great win for the girls today. They worked together as a team and their defence was outstanding. MVP was awarded to Jemma Riordan who was our main scorer and fierce in defence. Danijela was also a force to be reckoned with and the amount of steals she made contributed to our success. The team's fitness and defensive play was really impressive. Congratulations girls! |

Oztag Years 10-12 Boys KING |
VS THAC Win 11-6 |
Joshua Manson & Jack Ashcroft |
A stellar performance from the boys this week with a convincing win over Thomas Hassall Anglican College. Both Joshua Manson and Jack Ashcroft were instrumental in helping to secure the win with some fantastic tagging in defence. Hudson Warren, Brody and Jerome Taateo should also be commended on their explosive and well executed attacking plays. A full turn out at training this week certainly made all the difference. Well done boys! |

Oztag Years 10-12 Girls HEAS |
VS THAC Win 6-0 |
Liesl Hopoate |
Under hot conditions the girls excelled in their performance, dominating Thomas Hassall 6-0. Keeping possession for the majority of the game it was Liesl who led in the scoring with 4 tries. Liesl demonstrated immaculate skill and involvement by assisting Mia Aiono, as well as playing a key role in the play that led to Lara Underwood scoring. Congratulations on this great performance, looking forward to next week (report by Janita Leota-Brown & Charlotte Sisounon). |

Softball Years 7-9 Boys PONT |
VS MAS (B) Win 7-5 |
Diesel Wagstaff | The boys came away with their first win of the season with a solid team effort against Macarthur Anglican. All of the boys contributed to the win with some quality pieces of fielding and batting. Diesel Wagstaff and Tennyson King took on the challenge of pitching for the team and did a great job. Dylan Barnard was safe on first base and Jaiden Miles was, as always, a key player behind home plate in the catching role. Well done boys. Bring on next week! |
