Cashmere Primary Basketball for 2018

Emily Howard —

This year we have had two teams of enthusiastic Year 5/6 students playing in the Y5/6 B-grade competition at Pioneer, which consisted of over 24 school teams.

The Cashmere Cougars had a great season with only one loss, culminating in a place in the final last night. Their hard work at training paid off with a great team win, taking out the trophy!

Great teamwork by the following students: Sammy O'Connell, Will Gilray, Sophie Howard, Angus Ward, Alexander Strydom, Saige Maraki and Sam Cook.

A special mention also to Saige Maraki who made the Year 5/6 Pioneer Allstars representative team.

The Cashmere Storm had a tougher season, with the team consisting of some experienced players combined with some students playing for the first time. The improvement by all players this year was great to see.  

Great dedication this year from the following students: Ava-Bella Stowers, Shion Takemura, Amelie Wilke, Elise Menzies, Charlie Burns, Archie Huston, Hamza and Taha TayyabA special thanks to Katrina Menzies for running the subs each week for the Storm.

It is great to see such strength at Cashmere Primary basketball in this age-group.  Bring on 2019!!
