Senior Boys Basketball:

On the 11th of July, the Newcomb Secondary College senior basketball teams left the campus to compete against other schools, at AWA stadium. The first matchup was against Bannockburn, the boys started out strong taking a big lead early in the first half. In the second half, it was much the same as we held onto the lead and all team members getting buckets.

The momentum kept us pumped up during the second game against our second opposition, Northern Bay. The boys came out and dominated in this half keeping Northen Bay close to scoreless. Great all-round team play saw us winning at the end of a hard 20 minutes of basketball.

After two impressive wins, the boys were onto the semi-final against Belmont. The team was intimidating to the boys but after a rev up from coach Corey Bell, the boys were ready to take them on. It was an intense first half with 1 point the difference Newcomb’s way. The second half was hard fought and ended in a draw resulting in overtime, next score wins. After some poor judgement by the referees, Belmont was awarded the ball and scored to grab the win. The day was very successful for the Seahorses winning two games and making it to the finals. The students enjoyed playing together and accomplishing what they did. Massive thanks to Jodie for helping out with scoring on the day!

Senior Girls Basketball:

On Tuesday the 11th of July, the Newcomb Secondary College Senior girls' basketball team headed out to Geelong Sports Hub to compete in the inter school basketball competition. The first game was against Oberon. Our girls came out firing, intercepting passes, and showing some great teamwork. We were able to secure the win by 42 points.

Our second game was against Bellarine, and once again we banded together putting on a great display of determination and skill to secured an 18 point win. This win progressed us into the finals against Western Heights. We had lots of fun playing against a very challenging and skilled team. We put up a good fight but unfortunately our winning streak came to an end. Millie Andrews came away with best on for the day being our leading scorer.
