10-12 Boys Softball |
Mr Bodeker |
5-3 Loss |
We went into our second softball game after a win last week. We versed a strong St Benedict’s side and after the first innings concluded St Benedict’s were leading 2-0. The second innings concluded 3-2 in favour of John Therry but going into the final innings St Benedict’s proved too strong and ended up winning the game 5-3. The highlight of the game came via a Nick Junior Constantin home run which put us ahead. Unfortunately a few silly errors led to St Benedicts taking out the game. MVP - Nick Junior Constantin. |

The type of win a season can be built on. Early mistake led to us going 1-0 down. Despite many opportunities a further mistake led to a 2-0 deficit. Great play in the last ten minutes saw us score 3 goals and emerge victorious. MVP:Machar Bol |

4-2 Win |
An exciting well matched game. The girls surprised themselves with an early lead. Olivia and Sophia combined well to get the score to 3-0. Two cheap goals meant a comeback was on but Sophia stepped up to score again. Two goals each from Olivia and Sophia combined with excellent defending from Tahlia, Kelsey, Adut and Tahlia. MVP: Adut Bol |

Netball Girls 11-12 |
Mrs Pellegrino |

Mixed Frisbee 7-9 |
Mr Wakeling |
31-11 Win |
A good team game that highlighted how important defence is. With the game being very close at the start of the second half everyone lifted defensively. Once we did this the team moved more freely on the offensive end and our skill level and confidence increased. MVP: Erin Murtz |

7-9 Basketball Boys |
Mr Peters |
Fair effort, although there is ample room for improvement both offensively and defensively. Great games by Eli Matic and Devontay Zaglas. MVP: Eli Matic (17 points, 9 Rebounds). |

SPORT NEWS TERM 2- WEEK 2
After a great start to MISA Term 2 with John Therry picking up 7 out of a possible 10 victories, the teams continued their form today winning 8 out of 10 matches. A great start but a few tough rounds coming up could be the difference in final placings. Thank you to all students who have taken to representing the school with pride each week. With limited players in our 11-12 girls Netball team, we are requesting any Senior Netballers to see Mrs Pellegrino to express your interest in playing MISA netball.
On a negative note a number of students today were in detention unfortunately, due to permissions notes not being returned and many for not wearing a hat to sport. Students please ensure this is rectified for next week.
