Basketball Week 2, Term 3

Outram Red vs. Elmgrove
The Reds played against a very unexperienced team that offered little resistance to the Reds usual onslaught - determined, committed play that they deliver each and every week. Player of the day went to Mitchell R for excellent shooting, brilliant defence, great vision and supporting his fellow players. Well done Mitchell! Score: 80/0 to Outram.

Outram Yr 7/8 vs Taieri Blue
The Yr 7/8 were facing a strong Taieri team who is running in second place behind our Outram team. The game started off at a furious pace with goals being scored by both teams, refs were blowing whistles everywhere for fouls against Taieri. Unfortunately they weren't giving us points for them! At half time we were only in the lead by 2 points(one goal). We were all pretty nervous and were madly wanting to win but we had to get in a lot more goals and work a lot harder on our defence. In the second half we kicked up and were starting to slowly gain a strong lead but they were still coming back with goals and strong defence but in the end we won 38-20.
