Round 5 November 23rd

1^st Basketball – Daniel Reid

Heading into the last game for 2019 we knew that Mentone would have a strong team just as they do every other year. However, it was clear from the first tip off that we had come to win and were playing well from the very start, building a lead of 8 points to finish up the first quarter 18-10. With the help of some great outside shooting and fast transition plays we were able to extend this lead even further in the second quarter, finishing up the half with the scores set at 35-21. The third quarter took a similar pattern as Mentone struggled to keep up with our pace of Basketball allowing us to finish up the third quarter with the scores at 67-31, our way. The last quarter we ensured not to take the foot off the pedal and continued to extend our lead right until the very end, ultimately winning the game by 41 points with ...

Congratulations to the following boys who were selected at Captains for their teams this summer season. All boys are held in high regard by their peers and their coaches and will do a fantastic job representing the college.

Athletics - Declan Carman

With the possibility of claiming Marcellin’s second ever AGSV athletics championship after a second place finish last year, a committed group of athletes attended many of the training sessions and Saturday trial events, eager to be a part of making Marcellin sporting history. Many outstanding individual performances meant Marcellin were able to put together its most well-rounded team in recent memory.

The boys primed themselves for an outstanding result on the back of some notable performances. Brock Binion was hugely influential in winning both the 400m and the 800m, as was both our team captain, Declan Carman and Owen Rice who won the Shot put and the Discus.

However,...

The AGSV summer season is just around the corner with all non 1^st teams starting official training week one of term four. 1^st Basketball, Cricket and Tennis have already commenced their training.

Cover drives, layups, volleys, spikes and serves will all be practiced at training in preparation for Saturday matches.
