Special mention to Katie Morrissey in Yr 7 for playing with SVC 2 team this term. She is a very talented basketball player as is Isla Anthony, Yr 7, who played with SVC 1 team. Lastly Ally Jacobs, Yr 7, played with the Yr 10 team when she could. So nice to see the girls blending so cohesively.
Congratulations everyone for working so hard with the coaches each Saturday. You should all be very proud, including SVC 3, as should Coach Gabby and Coach Chloe, who were both tremendous coaches.
