The Weekly Wrap

Basketball

GPS Basketball fixtures against Anglican Church Grammar School are always a great spectacle, and Saturday’s Round 8 clash against Churchie was true to form, delivering a highly competitive and memorable day of games.

Terrace performed strongly, recording 14 wins in 35 games for a 41% win/loss ratio. Despite losing the day, this win/loss ratio is pleasing considering the strength of the Basketball program at Churchie. Terrace won all but one game on the Churchie main court, as the A program had its best day winning the 5A, 6A, 9A, 11A, 2nd V and 1st V games while the 7As tied and the 10As lost by one point. These results point to the steps the performance program in Basketball has taken in recent years, with this group now able to compete at the highest level.

Congratulations to the Year 9 age group who won the 9A, 9B, 9D and 9E games, while the 6As won over the previously undefeated Churchie 6As. The 7Ds fought back from a 10-point first quarter deficit, while Caleb Reinders led the 8Cs to a gritty five-point win. The 11As, bolstered by Nazar Angallo, who returned from injury, were clinical in their 28 point win.

While the wins are a nice reward for many teams, it is the way Terrace represented themselves on Saturday which is most pleasing. Win, lose or draw, Terrace Basketballers are to play the game hard, fair and with the utmost respect for all involved.

The Terrace 1st V recorded a classy 19 point victory over Churchie, a fixture that is always tough to win. Geordan Papacostas was a key player and led from the front. Cooper Marshall was the best on the court, shooting several three-pointers in the second quarter to a lead they never surrendered.

The program looks forward to the final round of the GPS season against The Southport School. We wish all Basketballers the best of luck this weekend.

Rugby

As we head into the final Round of the GPS competition I would like to acknowledge all Year 12 players and thank them for their efforts over the years playing Rugby at Terrace. The Terrace Family is very proud of you, and in your final year at Terrace, we want to publicly thank you for pulling on the Red and Black Jersey for the final time.

Team Man Award

Congratulations to this week’s Team Man Award winners. The Team Man Award is presented to the players who make an outstanding contribution to their team both at training and in a game. It is not often that we have brothers nominated on the same weekend so well done to Charlie and Oscar Ingham-Myers (Years 7 and 9).
