Basketball season opens with a bang!

The Saint Ignatius Basketball season opened with a bang last Friday, the 11th of May. The Year 11 & 12 Girls team competed in Werribee against some quality opposition.

We were lucky to come away with 3 straight wins, including the grand final which was an over-time nail biter!

The girls demonstrated great sportsmanship and commitment to the game, from some ripper three pointers by Chloe Lee, to the fabulous ball handling skills of Jaimee Crombie to the bullet passes and on court positioning by Lucy Moate, Natalie Taylor, Bridget Evenden and Natalia Wilcox, it really was quality basketball viewing.

The remaining girls (Bianca O’Brien, Laney McFadyen, Emily Allan and Alice Irving) were pivotal to our success.

Big thanks also to Elyssa Winter from being our official scorer on the day. Congratulations to all the girls and thanks to Mr. Philp and the Sports Department for their ongoing support.

We look forward to competing in the upcoming State Championships early June at MSAC.
