TGC — March 20, 2025
Our Premier 3x3 basketball team, comprising Kaia Kereama, Jayla Teki, Areta Kahura, Pahlyss Hokianga, and Graecyn Parahi claimed victory at the Bay of Plenty Champs on Friday 14 March.
After a shaky start, dropping their first two games, the team composed themselves to grind out hard-fought wins in quarters and semis. The final saw them matched up against Te kura Kaupapa o Te Koutu, who they lost to in the round-robin. However, by this time, the team had hit their stride and claimed a comfortable victory to secure the title of Bay Champions, followed by a win at the Hamilton Girls' Exchange and 2nd place at the Aimee Russell Tournament. We look forward to summer tournament week where the team aims to qualify for 3x3 Secondary Nationals in April.
Congratulations also go to the TGC Junior 3X3 team who secured 2nd place at Bay Champs new to the game of 3x3 the young players have improved over the last couple of weeks and a proud effort by all players. The juniors will move to 3x3 in term four attending regional tournament. Players were Pianika, Vae, Matangi, Attahua, Sienna, Annie.
