Mixed results for rep Saints

THE weekend’s junior basketball tournament in Shepparton was the latest on the rep calendar, with Myrtleford sides gaining valuable experience and confidence with every match. The Saints sent five teams, four boys’ sides and the under 16 girls squad, to compete in the tournament. The under 12s had an outstanding tournament, making it all the way to the grand final after a thrilling series of games. The Saints started their tournament off with a blistering 49-12 win over Wangaratta, before a narrow 20-22 loss to Deni Black. The squad regained their form with a 45-9 thumping of Shepparton Gators, and secured convincing wins over Wodonga Wolves Maroon 34-23 and Seymour Blasters 40-20 to send them into the decider against Deni. They were unfortunately unable to take the win, downed 30-45. The under 14s won two of their three matches to reach the semi-finals, however they were downed by Yarrawonga Mulwala by seven points. The under 16s boys and under 16 girls sides had a rough time at the tournament, losing each of their games, but fought hard throughout. The under 18s smashed Ballarat by 32 points in their opening match, but lost the next three against Deniliquin, Rochester, and Benalla in the quarter finals to end their tournament. The next tournament will be the U16/U18 tournament hosted by Wangaratta.
