During the 2nd week of the holidays we have had a number of students playing in the Central Regional U14 Basketball Tournament, this was held at Akau Tangi Sport Centre in Wellington. Our students were representing Kapiti Basketball Association (Kāpiti Coast).
Our girls had a fantastic week and placed 2nd, winning themselves silver medals.
It was an awesome experience for all of them. In pool play, they played against;
Gisborne, Taranaki, Dannevirke, Hutt Valley, Manawatu. They then come up against Hutt Valley again in the final for 1st & 2nd place.
Watching these kids grow as a team and grow in their own personal confidence throughout the tournament was incredible. The girls in the team from ŌC were:
Jubilee Roberts
Toia Edwards
Rosie Tukerangi
Emanea Peneha
Mia Woodroofe
Te Akau Williams
Kapiti Williams was also playing in the KBA U14 Boys A team. They had some really tough competition and placed 7th in their grade.
