Inter House Basketball competition update

The Year 9 and Year 8 events were held in Week 7 and 8 respectively, with very different results being achieved.

In Week 7, the Year 9s played a strongly contested round with Kelly and McAuley playing off in the final. With just 2 seconds on the clock, Charlize Morrison hit an amazing 3 pointer to help Kelly to victory winning 5 - 4. To say Kelly was excited is an understatement. This has brought Kelly house to sit in second place overall.

Week 8 saw a totally different outcome with Casey and Hargraves winning through to the final round. However, a joint result between Casey and McAuley and confusion over the first scoring team lead to a free throw shoot out followed by a scissor paper, rock play off which eventually ended with Casey progressing through to the final. In the final, Casey comfortably accounted for a very spirited Hargraves.

The progressive point score is as follows:

50 Casey

45 McAuley

40 Hargraves

40 Kelly

The final two rounds are yet to be played, with Year 7 competing in Week 9 and Year 11 in Week 10.
