A very close and tense game saw Beaumont beat Copleston High School, Ipswich 80 - 79 to reach the last 16 of the England Basketball Schools National Conference competition.
A disappointing first half defensive display saw us 42 - 37 down at half time. We changed our defensive set up at half time which saw Kieran then Aidan mark their key player with a three man zone set up behind them and the fifth player defending the three point line. This rstricted their key shooter to 22 points in the second half (35 in the first!) and meant that we could pressure the ball and fast break more effectively. Kieran scored 35 points and once again led the team extremely well.
The next round is this Thursday, 3.30pm tip off at Francis Bacon School. The squad will need to meet at the changing rooms at 2.40pm, we should be finished by 5.30/6.00pm.
Please come and support the squad and hopefully we will be in the last 8 by the end of the week!
Once again, well done to the whole squad.
