JTCC SPORT UPDATE - Week 10

The heavens have opened up again this week, despite this Tuesday sport  still went ahead with a variety of wet weather options. We also had a new provider for 9/10 REC sport, running VR technology games and sports which was a big hit with staff and students alike - even Mr. Marshall had a go!   All our outdoor MISA games were cancelled, which was a disappointing way to end the term for many of our teams who only managed a couple of games this term. Despite the weather, our indoor sports were able to go ahead and we had 3 teams this week playing in Grand Finals and our Indoor Cricket team playing off for 5th position. Our boys basketball team was the only team that managed to claim victory, with a come from behind win in the final seconds of the game. Mr. Peters was absolutely thrilled with the efforts of the team to never give up. 

 With the wet weather  the JTCC Cross Country carnival event has been postponed to week 1, term 2 -  Wednesday 27th April. 

A few general reminders:

• Students who missed out on MISA or , 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. 
•  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. 
• A number of Diocesan events have been postponed or modified - please see the updates below.

Teacher	Team	Score	Report
SPS	10-12 BOYS BASKETBALL	vs. MCCC 48 - 45  WIN	Grand final vs. MCCC - MISA CHAMPIONS ‘The Miracle of Minto’. The boys were down the entire game, at times by double digits. With 40 seconds to go they were still down by 7 points. Against the odds the boys hit three 3 points in the final seconds to snatch a MIRACLE win! Believe it to achieve it.  MVP: Eli Matic (Captain - 15 points).
TWN	10-12 GIRLS BASKETBALL		BYE
NWN BWB	7-9 BOYS VOLLEYBALL	vs. MCCC 1 - 2  LOSS	Grand final vs. MCCC The boys went into the grand final in a 1 vs 2 against Mount Carmel. After an enthusiastic start from the MCCC they went ahead early. The boys from John Therry fought back but went down 14-25. The boys rallied in the second set and put the pressure on the favourites. JT managed to hit multiple clutch shots to clinch the second set with ease 25-13. Pressure mounted on both teams going down to the wire but unfortunately we lost by the smallest of margins 23-25. A tremendous effort by our team and a performance they can all be proud of. Well done. MVP: William Chanhara & Marcus Feehan
RPO ACN	7-9 GIRLS VOLLEYBALL	vs. St. Pats 0-2 LOSS	Grand final vs. St. Pats The John Therry Volleyball girls were eager to play St. Pats in the final. We started the match very well, going point for point with St. Pats in the early stages. We were very competitive in the first game and served really well, however, St. Pats were good enough to be able to save half a dozen points which limited our scoring opportunities. In the second game, St. Pats were very dominant and JT struggled to get back into the game. MVP: Jorja Borg
BWB	10-12 GIRLS OZ TAG		Cancelled - Grounds closed
MMH	10-12 BOYS OZ TAG		Cancelled - Grounds closed
JBR	7-9 GIRLS HOCKEY		Cancelled - Grounds closed
BGO	7-9 GIRLS IND CRICKET	vs. St. Pats  46 - 68 LOSS	Final  - 5th vs. 6th Our final game as a MISA team was a re-match against St. Pats. Despite losing the game, we had a great time playing every week. Despite most of the team not knowing the sport initially, we learnt along the way and learnt to love it.  MVP: Darcie Bennett

An individual selection trial will be held for Diocesan touch instead for the nominated boys, whilst the girls selection will be a ‘paper trial’ only.  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.
