Semi Finals February 29nd

1st Basketball - Daniel Reid

It was great to have a big home crowd supporting us this week, as we took on Mentone Grammar in the Semi Final, and we were eager to prove to the AGSV why we were undefeated all season, and make it through to the Grand Final. Although we had previously beaten Mentone by 41 during the regular season, we knew that they were not going to be any sort of push over and came with the right mentality from the get go.

This allowed us to regain the lead, finishing the ...
