TERM 2 CHAMPIONS!!!!
After months of training, dedication and hard work, our wonderful
Year 5/6 basketball team, the Hornets, have won their Term 2 league
competition.
It was a fiercely-contested final game against Red Beach, with our
team down to 5 players and no substitutes due to holiday dates. There was
really very little to separate the teams, with all players determined to take
top spot. It was gripping, non-stop, end-to-end action as passes and
interceptions saw the game change direction in the blink of an eye.
With the Hornets behind in the last couple of minutes, the
supporters could only hold their breath as William was awarded a penalty shot,
which he took full advantage of, putting the ball expertly through the net to
draw level. It was in the dying seconds of the game, with the referee putting
the whistle to his lips that Austin managed to pass the ball to Maddie who
fired it through the hoop to bring a well-deserved victory to the Hornets.
An oustanding Final from both teams and an excellent result for
our players (11:10). Congratulations to the Hornets and to coach, Stephen
Hill.
