Junior House Basket Ball

Captain Markus Grun led out an all Y9 basketball team onto the court this afternoon. With a tough draw their first match was against Welsh. After an initial settling period they soon got into their stride, comfortable passing, good ball skills and excellent shooting resulted in a resounding 8 - 1 win. Next up came Orchard in the semi-final. This match was end to end stuff, with the action fast and furious as both teams tried to dominate. Half time saw the score 0-0. We came out in the second half and dominated possession for a while pulling away 2 - 0. Orchard equalised, and then agonisingly shot a later winner in the last minutes of the game 2 - 4 the final score. Markus, Max, Vieraj, Anthony, Will T and Will C all showed great House and team spirit and I was very pleased with their efforts.
