Intermediate Boys Basketball

The Intermediate Boys Basketball Team shot out the gate immediately, destroying our rivals Kyneton High School by 30 points. The boys carried the momentum over to the next game beating Craigieburn who had 7 players on the court! Unfortunately, the boys fell short against a well equipped Mount Ridley College. All in all the day was filled with many smiles, laughs and Cody singing California girls by Katy Perry. We’re very proud of the effort the boys put in, and how they represented the College.

Intermediate Girls Basketball

Today the year nine and ten girls got the opportunity to play for Sacred Heart in the girls inter school basketball. They sadly lost their first game, the girls improved as the games continued and ended up winning the rest! They came out ready to play and had a ton of energy and played through some rough calls. Isabelle and I are very proud of the girls and how they handled different situations and were very mature. Thank you to the girls that put all their effort in and to help make today day possible!

Michael - 17th in a time of 12.27

Jett - 53rd in a time of 13.35

Intermediate Boys Football

The Year 9 and 10 Intermediate Boys football team travelled to McDonnell Reserve, Northcote on 24 July to compete in the second Round of AFL competition. The team coached by Year 11 students Lachlan Hall and Zane Steel finished the day with 2 wins and one close loss of just 2 points to Hazel Glen College, in the first game of the day. Game 2 saw a comprehensive victory over Northcote Secondary College who were unable to score as our team used their tremendous defensive work and hard running to advantage. The toughest challenge was the final game of the day against Greensborough Secondary College, who were seen by good judges as the team to beat. Sacred Heart prevailed in this clash with a very polished all-round performance by the entire team lead by Archie Maher.

Each member of the team completed their tasks, as allocated by the coaches, admirably and the whole team positively supported each other in all matches across the day. We are awaiting final results to see if the team progresses to the final for the Northern Zone Championship on 6 August. Well done to all, and thanks to Mr Walsh and Mr Walker for supporting the team on the day.
