BOPSS Junior Basketball Championships

Sport —

TGC won the BOPSS Junior Basketball Championships 2020!

TGC Team Tahi took out this year’s tournament. Exciting games, all close and fought right to the end whistle. Great coaching by James Patea and Jeanna Cooney to motivate our girls to lift at each quarter and finish strong.

Our TGC Rua team finished 4th in their division. A massive thank you to Maioha and Akuira for doing a wonderful coaching job and influencing improvement across Team Rua throughout the tournament. Great result for a development team as they did play two Junior A teams in Division 2.

Friday was a really proud day, the girls were well behaved and represented the school values of Manaakitanga, Mahi tahi and Mana Motuhake. The tournament also uncovered new potential across both teams with junior Year 9 players showing the future looks bright.

Congratulations to Maia Kahura and Honey Cooney who were named as joint tournament MVP’s.
