Outram Red vs East Taieri 1
Once again, a game that tested our players, as East Taieri came out very determined and fought hard to keep the Reds from scoring. The Reds settled into their game after the first quarter and started scoring more baskets. Mitchell R did an amazing last minute shot for basket just before the bell went in the third quarter. Awesome! This Outram Red team are very tough and determined as they rarely let other teams score against them. Player of the day went to Georgia B for always being reliable and strong in shooting and defence. She showed wonderful support to her fellow players throughout the whole game and kept a cool head against a tough team. Score: 20/4 to Outram.

Outram Hawks Netball
The Hawks had another fantastic win this weekend against Elm Grove Fantails, winning 20 -2.
Playing for the first time on a beautiful clear morning, it was great to see the girls perform without freezing fingers and being soaking wet.
Nakesha was gaining lots of confidence as GA, managing to put in 3 great goals and Zoe F had another stunning game at GS, putting up the remaining 17 goals. Well done girls for such fantastic shooting.
Again Rachel and Courtney impressed with their super efforts all over the court, Courtney as WD and Rachel WA. Both girls showed heaps of determination to make sure the ball didn't get into the Fantails shooting area too often.
Player of the day went to Grace Mc from Middlemarch. She played a half game at centre with Nicole and both girls played a super game. Grace M also took over in the second half from Amber C who had to go off ill. Grace Mc played a super half at GD - having to defend a very tall Fantail . Well done Grace Mc for trying so hard throughout the whole game.
Another fantastic win to our Hawks. Well done girls you are super.
The last game for the Future Ferns level is to be played this Saturday with a prize giving following the 1040 game. This will be held in the hall immediately after the Hawks game. If games are cancelled this weekend due to rain, the last week will be the following weekend.

Outram Yr 7/8 Make Otago Basketball Grand Final
Once again the Outram School Yr 7/8 basketball team has made the Otago Basketball Mixed section Grand Final. The team will be playing against Kaikorai Valley College in the final. The team has remained unbeaten throughout the season. The team won the Yr 7/8 mixed section last year so the pressure is on to win the title again and be crowned the best mixed basketball team in Otago.
Outram Red vs. East Taieri 2
Phew! East Taieri came out firing with all guns blazing in the first quarter, and it took until the third quarter for the Reds to convincingly take the lead! Our shooting wasn’t a highlight, mostly as East Taieri was so tight on defence, effectively shutting our players out from putting up baskets. However, the Reds illustrated what calm heads can achieve – especially coupled with gritty determination not to lose! Once again, a great team effort. Player of the day went to Jacob B-H for hunting down ball after ball, creating turnovers for the Reds to score baskets with. Score: 12/8 to Outram.

Outram Hawks Netball
The whole team showed true Outram School values - displaying perserverance and dedication - when they played a fantastic game against Elm Grove Red Rebels in the pouring rain.
The Hawks won 7-0.
Great shooting by both Nicole R and Rachel B. The whole team have all improved so much. Amber C filled in for the Elm Grove team who were short a player and played her best game for the season. Well done Amber C and thanks for being such a great sportswoman.
Our Player of the Day went to Holly C. Holly C struggled with the cold and the rain and despite a few trips and bumps, choose to continue playing after half time so as not to let her team down. Well done Holly C for displaying such super spirit.
The Hawks have continued their fantastic winning run. Despite rain canceling the majority of games this season, the games we have managed to play have all been in favour of the Hawks. The Hawks have only given away 1 goal to the opposition and scored 66 goals over the whole season.
YAY THE HAWKS!!!!!!!

Outram Red Miniball-Remain Undefeated!!
Outram Red vs. Fairfield
A tougher game defensively for our Reds this week, though they still managed to post a high score. They will need to work on their shooting at their next practice as there were a lot of attempts at the basket that just wouldn’t go in. Excellent all round defence for this team, however, as they play with such conviction and commitment! Fairfield didn’t even get a chance to shoot. Player of the day went to Zara S for being hungry for intercepts, delivering on attack, supporting her fellow players and being the top scorer with 7 baskets. Score: 38/0 to Outram.

Outram School Wrestling
BubbleShare: Share photos - Create and Share Crafts
Yesterday American Freestyle Wrestler Scott Hewitt came to Outram School to work with the Sports Academy. Scott has won various titles in the All American league and has now moved to New Zealand working as a Wrestling coach at the Todd Fighting Academy. The students really enjoyed learning some grappling techniques and how to shoot on opponents to take them down. Scott was really impressed with the students ability to pick up the techniques quickly and their overall strength.
