BASKETBALL

IT WAS a fantastic weekend of basketball at the Southern Peninsula Tournament for the Under 16 Girls Gold Team, Lily Adams, Brydie Thornton, Elizabeth Hotton, Carly Desmond, Phoebe Guppy, Tigerlee Brackman, Ellie Marks and Lara Klingsporn.

The girls were excited for the tournament and eager to take to the basketball court.

The first game was against the Traralgon T-Birds.

The opposition put up a strong game and beat the Eagles with their polished team plays.

Second game was against Coburg.

It was neck-and-neck for the first half.

The beginning of the second half saw Coburg lead the game, however the Eagles caught up at the end, winning by one point shot by Tigerlee Brackman.

The girls played another two great games against Camberwell and Keilor on the Sunday, although at the end both teams proved too strong for the Eagles.

Coaches Craig Brackman and Ebony Harris have done a wonderful job with the team.

They have played very well for a division three game and cannot wait for the next tournament.
