JTCC SPORT UPDATE - Week 4
Another beautiful, but very hot Tuesday sport. MISA round 1 commenced, with mixed results for our teams. Congratulations to those students who represented John Therry this week in MISA and also in Diocesan Tennis Teams. Those students who missed out, there are many future opportunities to represent JTCC, keep an eye out on the Sport Bulletin Board in the A-block corridor and on the Compass Newsfeed.
The behaviour and participation from the majority was great, with everyone embracing the directive for this year to ‘be like Barty’. A reminder that consent for all sporting events must be given via the Parent Portal on Compass. Please ring the school if you have issues logging in or accessing Events.

10-12 BOYS BASKETBALL |
Vs. BAC 44-24 WIN |
Good initial game with an emphasis on the suffocating defense against a far bigger team. Will continue to improve with further training. Eli Matic and Garang Bol stepped up in offence and defense. Thank you team. MVP: Lleyton Turner |

TWN |
10-12 GIRLS BASKETBALL |
Vs. St. Pats 6-49 LOSS |
Our senior girls came up to a very experienced St. Pats for our first game. The scoreboard may not have reflected the result we wanted, but our girls should be proud of the amount of steals, rebounds and defensive efforts that prevented a much larger deficit. The final score was 6-49, the win going to St. Pats. Congratulations to our MVP - Zali Lakeman for an impressive display of defence during the whole game. MVP - Zarli Lakeman |

7-9 BOYS VOLLEYBALL |
Vs. MCC 0-2 LOSS |
Outplayed today but enough signs to suggest we will be more formidable opposition the next time we meet. Stayed in the game for long periods but ultimately lost to more confident opposition. MVP William Chanhdara |

RPO |
7-9 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL |
Vs. MCC 2-0 WIN |
First round of the volleyball season and the team dominated, winning the first set 25-12. With a small team talk in between sets, we focused on communication and our dig set spike combo. In the second round, Alexis dominated the serving position, bringing the score to 20-0 with MCC unable to return her serve, bringing the second and final set to 25-2. A great start to the MISA season. MVP: Alexis Paulo |

10-12 GIRLS OZ TAG |
Vs. MCCC 7-2 WIN |
A great start to seaaon for the girls. Although the girls were down a few numbers, they still went out with a positive attitude and defied the odds. They worked well together, resulting in numerous try’s scored. The heat was agonisingly hot, however the team managed to push through. Their communication and slik skills were great which allowed the team get the win. Can’t wait to see what the rest of the season brings. MVP- Bridget Shearer |

10-12 BOYS OZ TAG |
Vs. MCCC 7-4 Win |
The boys were a bit rusty in their first game of the year. The fitness levels were tested early from both teams but JT hung in there to claim the victory against a competitive Mount Carmel side. Well done! MVP: Dechlan Gunning |

JBR |
7-9 GIRLS HOCKEY |
Vs. SBCC 0-2 LOSS |
A great first game for 7-9 girls hockey. Made up of many first time hockey players, each individual demonstrated great potential today. I was very excited to watch the pressure the team was able to apply in defense against St Benedicts who had many older and more experienced players. It was great to see our team work together and capitalise on every opportunity to bring the ball into our offensive end. St Benedicts were able to take the win today 2-0, however it was a very competitive game and with more experience this team will be difficult to beat. I am looking forward to the Term ahead. Congratulations to Paige Halliday of Year 8, our goalie for today, who was under pressure for the majority of the game, and successfully saved two potential goals. Another big congratulations to Amelia Sculli of Year 7, who was a dominant force in defense and made many intercepts. MVP: Paige Halliday and Amelia Sculli |

BGO |
7-9 GIRLS IND CRICKET |
Vs. WAC 17-76 LOSS |
The girls introduction to indoor cricket was a huge learning experience. Some highlights were shown through accurate bowling from Mia and Maddison and Laura's batting at the death. The girls positivity and willingness to learn and improve is a great sign that will lead to enjoyment and success as the season progresses. MVP: Laura Augustine |
|
ACN |
7-9 BOYS SOFTBALL |
Vs. MAC 2- 10 LOSS |
The boys softball team came up against an experienced MacArthur Anglican College. We batted first and managed to get an early run, however, with bases loaded we got consecutive outs and failed to capitalise. MAC batted very well, crossing 10 times mainly, however, our fielding was responsible for about half of those runs. A solid start and plenty to work on next week. MVP: Adem Ektas |
Diocesan Events
Diocesan Tennis Teams
JT sent two teams down to Wollongong to represent the College at the Dio Tennis gala day. After an early start with only Mr McKenzie running late the team arrived in the Gong to perfect weather. The teams were full of enthusiasm with a mix of experience & a number of new players making their debut for JT on the tennis court.
The girls team had a tough first up match going down to the eventual winners & were narrowly beaten in their consolation match. The boys were unlucky to go down in both their matches after finishing equal on sets & getting pipped on games in countbacks.
The highlights of the day included the trivia challenge on the drive down where the junior students clearly dominated their more seasoned year 11 team mates. Followed by a trip to the world famous ‘Chicko’s’, lunch & ice-creams at Flagstaff Hill Lighthouse looking out over the magnificent Wollongong City beach, a stop off at Mt Keira Lookout & of course a great hit of tennis.
The next few weeks will see John Therry participate in the Diocesan Boys and Girls Touch Footballand the Diocesan Swimming carnival. Team meetings, trials and training will be held soon, students are encouraged to read the Compass Newsfeed. Students who have been selected in teams already for Tennis and Boys Touch Football should have received their permission notes on Compass. No permission = no participation.
