Round 2 – Pymble 19 Year 7 Match Recap
Pymble 19 put in a valiant effort this week but unfortunately came away with a loss. Nonetheless, the girls remained in high spirits throughout and displayed great determination. Phoebe Evans (Year 7) was a standout in defence, producing some exceptional rebounding and applying relentless pressure on the opposition’s offence. On the attacking front, Mia Jiang (Year 7) shone with impressive breakaways, skilfully using her dribbling to drive the team forward. Overall, it was a fantastic team performance, with incredible teamwork and smiles all round.
Season Shoutouts
Season shoutouts are designed to recognise students who have gone above and beyond and celebrate a player’s effort, improvement, or achievements throughout the season.
This week the season shoutouts go to Mary Cottrell (Year 12), Ilaria Bicego (Year 12), and Madeline Taylor (Year 12) who ventured down to the basketball courts to support and cheer on their friends during the match. Armed with pom poms and plenty of Pymble spirit, the girls brought fantastic energy to the game and helped lift the team’s morale.
The next round of season shoutouts goes to students in Pymble 14, Zeta James-Taylor (Year 8), Valerie Zhao (Year 9), Yuxi Zhao (Year 8), and Ruoyuan Shen (Year 9) who played a full match with only four players. Their perseverance, teamwork, and unwavering commitment were truly impressive, as they gave it their all despite being short-handed. Pymble 14 held their own the entire game and led for a majority of the match. Well done, girls—you demonstrated true Pymble spirit!
