Champion Basketball Schools Senior Boys and Girls
At the end of Term 3 the Senior Boys and Girls Basketball teams travelled to the Gold Coast for the CBSQ (State Championships). This event was the culmination of the school basketball calendar for our senior students.
The PLC Senior Girls had qualified this year for their first ever CBSQ after winning the Wildcard challenge. They took this great form into the state championships, winning 6 out of 7 games and ultimately finishing in 5th place. This great result ensures that the team will not need to play the Wildcard challenge again in 2024 and had direct qualification.
The PLC Senior Boys had more challenging timing with 2 starting players succumbing to ankle injuries in the lead up to the tournament. Despite this the team battled hard and improved on last year’s performance to finish in 11th place. This also ensures the boys direct qualification for 2024.
Special mention must go out to our graduating Senior players Katie Graves, Henry Friend and Alex Lee who have represented the College with pride throughout their PLC Basketball Careers.
A big thank you to Ms Brooklyn Graves, Ms Georgie Snelling, Mr Mark Hauser and Mr Brad Burdon for the time and energy they put into working with these teams over a big 4 days and across the year in preparing for this event. Mr Burdon in particular has given up many of his hours this year before and after school to prepare our students for these tournaments and this is providing our students with fantastic opportunities to improve their skills.
There is still plenty of basketball to come with the Friday night season continuing along with Junior Secondary and Sophomore Boys CBSQ coming up over the next month!
