The Springbank team were very competitive during both games. Our first game was against Adelaide Botanic High School (ABHS). Springbank had a strong team performance and were able to break away in the second half to a double-digit lead on the back of strong team defense and converting on some efficient offensive transition points.  Springbank held on to win the round one contest, resulting in playing Wirreanda Secondary School (WSS) in round two.  

Wirreanda had both a strong ability to score at the basket and an ability to shoot from the perimeter. Wirreanda jumped out to a 10-point lead early in the first quarter with a full court pressing defense. Springbank settled in the second quarter and managed to adjust to the pace and intensity of the game. All Springbank players were strong contributors and it became more evident when we played the advantage on the offensive end we were able to create good team shots. It was pleasing to see the team compete against a quality outfit in Wirreannda by adapting throughout the contest and learning how to keep the energy levels up as a team. Wirreannda won the game by 11 points and will advance to the third round.

Thank you to all the players for their efforts and being a coachable group throughout the day.

Thank you to both Peter (ABHS) and Sam (WSS) for a competitive day of basketball and thank you to both teams for playing the games with great spirit.

Also, a big thank you to the game referees and officials for supporting this event.
