The basketball team was invited to a tournament at Woodchurch High School. The tournament was attended by numerous local secondary schools and competition was evidenced by the pleasant rivalry amongst the players. All eyes were on the Clare Mount squad as they entered the sports hall,  resplendent in their new kit and boasting a history that was unfamiliar with a loss They soon took the floor against the Observatory School, displaying the tenacity and skill set that had enabled their flawless winning streak. From the tip off Hayden Forshaw and Aaron Evans stamped their authority on their respective positions. Throughout the tournament Aaron dexterity at the point position allowed him to feed teammates in a manner that exploited the defense, encompassing our entire roster of offensive players. When not dishing the assists he proved himself to be the sharpest of sharp shooters, frequently shooting beyond the arc and stretching the defense. This enabled Hayden to dominate the inside. His ability to create second and third chances increased the rapidity of scoring and wore down their defensive rebounding.Hayden showcased his strengths at all 5 positions on the court, flaunting a diverse scoring ability. The rest of the squad contributed in equal measure with pronounced results.Warren Trueman was indomitable as a defensive rebounder. Michael McCarthy was a creative outlet, filling both lanes in anticipation of fastbreak buckets, compounding his hard work with a deft skill set around the basket.  Kenzie Yates showcased an ability to facilitate and ability to disrupt the most purposeful attacks with aggressive hustle and defensive sacrifice. Issac Favager, as always, deployed a composed game, allowing him to poach baskets at crucial moments during the tournament. The ever steady Olivia Smyth showed her composure whilst defending key players, nullifying threats and capitalising with an unwavering contribution on offense. The tournament was encapsulated by the  infectious joy of Caidean Headland who's contribution to the game is unmeasurable. The joy that  Caidean dispersed amongst his teammates and coaching staff actualised itself in our results. Once again, Clare Mount Basketball team, represented themselves, their families and their school with the utmost integrity and passion, coming away with an unblemished record of 4 wins, and zero losses. We are immensely proud.
