Yr 7/8 South West Zones Basketball Tournament.

Lance Muller —

On Tuesday the Year 7/8 Basketball team competed at the South West Zones tournament at Wharenui Stadium.

The South West Zones Basketball Tournament was held at Wharenui Stadium on Tuesday 18 June.  9 Senior Students represented Oaklands at this tournament. 

We played a total of 4 games, wining 1 of them and losing the other 3 by small margins. The team can be very proud of their efforts which resulted in them finishing 3rd overall.  

It was great to see the team  working well together with lots of passing and working together for the common good of the team. Thanks to Marie, Eddie and Amanda  for helping out with transport. Without our fantastic parent helpers we could not do what we do. 

While we have not progressed on to the next round of competition, we will take our learnings from the tournament and transfer these into our weekly Friday games. We look forward to more exciting Basketball as the season progresses.
