Girls complete District Tournament clean sweep!

Congratulations to the Under 12 (year 7), Under 14 (Year 8 & 9) and Under 16 (Year 9, 10 and 11) girls squads who all won their respective District tournaments this week.
On Tuesday the year 7 squad competed beat Sandringham and Roundwood and drew with Sir John Lawes in their first ever competitive matches. The whole squad worked really hard with Emma Malley the Beaumont MVP of the tournament for her outstanding defence, particularly against Roundwood Park. Claudia Smith top scored with 8 points with captain Pippa Palmer scoring 6.
On Wednesday the Year 8 & 9 squad played in a 6 team tournament, beating Nicholas Breakspear, Loreto, Roundwood, Sandringham and Sir John Lawes on their way to becoming District Champions. They scored 69 points and conceded only 8 in a very impressive performance on both offence and defence. MVP was Holly Brando who top scored with 34 points, Olivia Almond scored 16 and Morgan Jeggo 14. Izzy Vine Lott and Molly Rogan did very well in their first ever games for Beaumont.
Tonight the Under 16 squad defeated Sir John Lawes, Roundwood and Nicholas Breakspear to complete a District clean sweep. The team, made up from three year groups gelled very well, passing the ball fluently in all three matches. Annabel and Felicity were playing their first basketball matches and did extremely well. MVP Holly Seglah top scored with 11 points whilst Aisha Akinbinu hit 10 points and also played extremely well. Naomi Baker played some excellent defence, whilst Felicity hit 4 points in the final game.
The Under 12 and Under 14 teams now go onto the Partnership County Finals early in December.
Stats for all three teams can be found on the individual age group pages.
Well done to all three squads who have maintained an unbeaten run for all Beaumont basketball teams in District competition so far this year!

Year 7 Boys narrow defeat to Sandringham

The year 7 boys team narrowly lost 21 - 16 to Sandringham on Friday night in a very competitive game. Both teams showed improvement from their last game and, when we passed the ball quickly and accurately, we scored some excellent baskets.
Playing 20 squad members meant that we lacked continuity at times, but the result was secondary to the performance and opportunity to see as many players as possible in a competitive game.
Well done to everyone who played, there is real potential in this squad and I look forward to seeing them progress over the next few years.

Year 9/10 Boys continue their unbeaten run

Well done to the year 9 and 10 combined District League Basketball squad who continued their impressive unbeaten run with a 37 - 27 win over Nicholas Breakspear on Monday. This means they are unbeaten in the league after four matches. Lewis Montgomery Moore and Danny Cutmore were our top scorers, whilst James Dempsey had his best game for school as point guard. The whole squad are playing with growing confidence and should look forward to our toughest test yet against Roundwood Park on Monday. Well done to the whole squad.
