Round 6 – Match Report – Rachel Maenpaa
With the Basketball season drawing to a close, our teams delivered inspiring performances in the second-to-last round, showcasing skill, determination, and sportsmanship. Two teams of note were the Junior Firsts and Seconds:
Junior Firsts – Pymble 9
It was the match everyone was waiting for; the clash of the two undefeated Junior Firsts teams, with Wenona standing between our girls and a top-of-the-table finish. Rising to the occasion, our Junior Firsts put on a magnificent display, playing with heart and composure. Holly Mitchell (Year 8) was a defensive powerhouse, relentlessly guarding opponents and making tough shots under pressure. Kaylene Chiu (Year 8) had her standout game of the season, contributing decisively at both ends of the court. The team’s relentless effort paid off, coming away with a commanding victory by more than 20 points and sealing the number one spot for the regular season.
The team now prepares to face Wenona once again in what promises to be an epic Grand Final showdown this coming Saturday here at Pymble Ladies’ College at 9.00am. Their determination and team pride set the scene brilliantly for the championship decider.
Junior Seconds – Pymble 10
Our Junior Seconds continue to impress with every match and this round was no different. Mataya Burgess (Year 9) was a whirlwind on both ends, making key stops and charging to the basket for well-earned points. Jade George (Year 8) kept everyone on the edge of their seats, draining a clutch three-pointer to keep the margin tight. Jamilla Soo (Year 9) led the floor with poise, controlling the tempo and ensuring the team kept their composure under pressure.
Although the Junior Seconds were narrowly edged out in the end, their commitment, progress, and fighting spirit were on full display and bode well for the future.
As the season finale approaches, we congratulate all teams on exceptional performances and look forward to an exciting Grand Final for our Junior Firsts. Let’s get out there this Saturday and cheer them on!
