Year 6 Girls Basketball (State Champs!)

Last Tuesday, our Year 6 Girls basketball team achieved an extraordinary feat, claiming victory in the State Championships in Melbourne. This result is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and teamwork throughout all stages.

The girls first played three games against other teams in their side of the draw, the competition was strong and the girls came up against some quality basketballers from around Victoria. Displaying incredible skill and determination, they were able to win every match, finishing on stop of their side of the draw. This earned them a well-deserved spot in the Grand Final against Bacchus Marsh primary school.

The Grand Final was a nail-biter from start to finish. Our girls got out to a great start but Bacchus Marsh pegged it back and with a few minutes to go it was looking like being a very tight finish. With composure under pressure and some clutch shooting, our girls secured a thrilling 4-point victory to be crowned State Champions.

This capped off a final primary school year to be proud of for the girls, as each student was also a State Champion in netball earlier in the year.

Congratulations to the entire team and a huge thank you to coach Ricky Smedts, who trained the girls during recess times and was there as coach for every competition.

Well done girls, we are all so proud of your efforts!
