St Albans District Basketball Festival 20th Oct

On Monday the Basketball Club had the chance to draw together all their hard work and training at the annual basketball festival held at Oaklands College. All the children were excited to represent the school and build on the first games we had already played against Garden Fields.

The children were split into 2 teams and placed in 2 of the four pools at the competition. Both teams played exceptionally well showing all the work and training on their basic skills has really paid off. 

Team A who played in pool 2 managed to win one of their 5 games, whilst pushing some very good experienced teams very close in their other matches, finishing 5th in their pool.   

Team B Who played in pool 3 played some exciting games and managed to win 3 of there 5 games finishing 3rd in their pool. In addition to their good results, It must be noted that they only lost by one basket in their pool to the eventual tournament winners.

All the children played brilliantly but special mention must go to Ray and Francisca who were the top point scores for the teams scoring 10 and 14 points respectively over their 5 games played.

Well done to both teams and a big thank you to All the parents who helped with lifts to the tournament and Mr Lovett for helping coach one of the 2 teams.
