Basketball Years 10-12 Boys HARK |
VS BAC Win 35-37 |
Aneek Gamildien |
With this the last chance to have a run before leaving for the Marist Basketball Tournament we were looking to have a strong hit out. The opposition started fast and were hitting their shots and we were working hard to keep their big man at bay. We were down 23-16 at half time but with some excellent defence and improved offence led largely by the team captain Isaac Ramos we were able to get the win 35-37 in a very tight finish. The MVP for the game goes to Aneek Gamildien scoring 4 points, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 deflections. His defence getting multiple blocks on the opposing big man and hitting a big 3 to help get us back in the game and take the lead. |

Basketball Years 10-12 Girls ABRN |
VS MAS Win 24-5 |
Jemma Riordan |
A tough game today with the aggression displayed from MAC. Our girls were victorious however the MAC defence was difficult to penetrate. The foul count was high and that reflected the physical nature of the game. Our girls persisted with their passes, shots, screens and deflections. Congratulations to the whole team for their communication, resilience, skill and determination. |

Liesl Hopoate |
A dominant performance by all 12 members of the team from start to finish. Liesl led the team and scored on the first possession, this continued throughout the match with 5 different try scorers. A key aspect of their win was their tenacity without possession with the marker often making multiple tags restricting Macarthur Anglican from getting any forward progress. Congratulations to the whole team for an outstanding team effort. |

Softball Years 7-9 Boys PONT |
VS MAG Loss 10-2 |
Jaiden Miles | The boys started slow but certainly turned it around in the third innings. Jivesh opened the innings with an incredible home run that set the tone for the rest of the team. Tennyson backed it up with his own home run. Keeden made it to second but unfortunately got run out after a skillful catch by the opposition. Jaiden was sneaky between the bases and ran home. Jaiden not only had a good game but is always a great team member who offers advice, acts as a base coach, will always put his hand up to try new positions and is constantly encouraging all of the boys. Well done Jaiden. Another shout out to our official base coach Parker who always offers his insights to the group. Bring on the final round. |
