Under 15 Girls remain unbeaten

A great comeback saw the Under 15 girls back up their District Championship win with an impressive 33 - 30 victory over a strong Queens team in the County League. We were 10 - 2 down early in the first quarter but fought back to 12 - 8 at the finish. The second quarter saw us level at 18 all by half time and then we scored 14 unanswered points to pull away by the end of the third quarter. We maintained the lead in the fourth, with Holly Brando Holahan scoring 16 points and Olivia Almond 13. Frankie Cross played well in her first ever game, whilst Naomi Baker and Adi Milton were excellent on defence. Well done to the whole squad who have made a very impressive start to the season.

Under 14 Boys win impressively

A very solid opening performance saw the Under 14 boys beat Hitchin 82 - 39 in the County League tonight. The first half was very open, with some excellent driving to the basket from our top scorer, Lewis Montgomery Moore (32 points) and some strong offensive rebounding. Our defence was a little loose which meant we went in 27 points up at the break. The second half was much tighter defensively, with the team working well as a unit to defend the keyway. This was reflected by the team only conceding 8 points in the whole half, an excellent display. Bradley Roberts (11), Joe Byers (19) and Jacob Bockenhauer (14) all contributed well to the team score, whilst James Procter and Matthew Ellis both had their best games so far for Beaumont (Matt was Most Improved Player tonight). A very good start from the whole squad which bodes well for the rest of the season, well done!
