Diocesan Junior Basketball Championships

The 7/8 Girls set the tone early with great intensity, winning all their round games. In the semi-final, they defeated Woodlawn 45–6, heading into the final full of confidence. After a slow start, some defensive adjustments and a lift in intensity, the girls claimed victory with a 43–19 result, securing them the title of 2025 Lismore Diocesan Champions!

The 7/8 Boys fought hard through four pool games, emerging on top in a tightly contested group. They then won a dramatic semi-final against MSPC Murwillumbah with a free throw after the buzzer. In the Grand Final, they battled well but fell short against MacKillop Port Macquarie, finishing as runners-up.

Our 9/10 Girls dominated the pool stage, finishing first in their group. In the semi-final, they faced a fierce battle against MacKillop Port Macquarie. It was a nail-biter from start to finish, with the girls playing their hearts out and leaving everything on the court. Despite their incredible effort, they narrowly went down by just two points.

The 9/10 Boys produced excellent team basketball, wearing down their opponents with suffocating defence and well-executed offence. They were comfortable winners in the rounds and semi-final, before a thrilling Grand Final against a strong MacKillop side. The game went right down to the wire, but MacKillop edged ahead by three points. Every player made a strong contribution, with standout performances from Cameron King and Jake Bissett.

A huge thank you to coaches Jessi Reeves, Steve Verbruggen, John Philip, Matthew Quinton, and Brooke Dart for the time, dedication, and energy they put into their teams.
