In a round-robin tournament, the St Edward’s College squad defeated teams from MacKillop Catholic College, St Leo’s Catholic College, St Paul’s Catholic College, St Brigid’s Catholic College and St Peter’s Catholic College. In the final game, the boys built a sizeable lead against undefeated Mater Maria Catholic College and held on to win by a score of 35-27. Throughout the tournament, St Edward’s boys averaged 39 points a game, allowing only 16 points per game against.

With the win at the CSBB tournament, the St Edward’s junior basketball squad will next compete in the NSWCCC finals at the Penrith Valley Regional Sports Centre in Term 4.

Josh Marsters, Mason Potestas and Rasmus Borg led the team with their scoring. Lucas O’Beirne, Jesse Ball and Hoi Tin Ho played great defense and were tasked with keeping the opposition in check. Cooper Armstrong, Max Miller, and Steven Keating dominated the defensive boards. Sebastian Picone, Keyan Lamabelawa, James Blow and Sean Burnett provided bench scoring and showed great all-around hustle each game.

Special thanks to Mr Carpenter for his support and supervision on the day.
