IGSA Basketball Grand Finals
Term 3 basketball saw eleven SCEGGS secondary teams give their all, with six of them qualifying for the playoffs including the Seniors 1sts, 2nds and all four of the Junior teams.
Unfortunately, in the semis the Senior 1st lost a close 2 point game to Kambala and the Junior 4ths were overwhelmed in their game but the other four SCEGGS teams were victorious!
Grand Final week turned out to be as exciting for players and coaches as it was for parents and supporters. The Junior 1sts and 2nds both won close games to remain undefeated throughout the entire third term. Congratulations to the girls and coaches Michael Scarpin and Andrew Freebury on their perfect seasons.
The Senior 2nd’s had a thrilling match against Monte and narrowly lost by two points right at fulltime.
The Junior 3rds also had a close match against Santa Sabina 3, and narrowly lost by 3 points.
Overall, we’re so proud of our SCEGGS girls who played with a positive attitude, great effort and strong teamwork all year. A big thank you to all our committed coaches and staff who prepared our teams each and every week.
We now look forward to Term 4 which tips off with our Primary school Years 4 to 6. Good luck to all our girls!
