The Merton basketball team was fantastic today. They represented our school wonderfully. They showed respect, played hard, congratulated their opposition and were all round super stars.

 

The tournament had 2 groups, we were in the larger group, and therefore had more games to play.

We won our group and went through to the semi finals. We played (in Mr Thompson's opinion) the best team. We finished the 8 minutes at 2-2. The final throw (from us) went into the hoop, but the umpires unfortunately didn't count it.

 

We then had a free throw sudden death...

After 7 throws, we were still at a stalemate.

Their 8th throw went in and sadly ours didn't.

 

We came away with an almighty 3rd place with all 7 players that should be VERY proud of themselves! Well done to all involved!
