Under 16 NSW CIS Trials
Alex Kirievsky and Marcus Tsimbler travelled to Newington College to trial for the Under 16 NSW CIS team on Tuesday 9 May 2023. Both boys demonstrated their competitiveness, sportsmanship and skill but were unfortunately unsuccessful in being selected for the squad.
Basketball NSW Schools Tournament
On Monday 16 May 2023 and Tuesday 17 May 2023, the Emanuel Senior Firsts Boys and Girls Basketball team travelled to Penrith to compete in the Basketball NSW Schools Tournament. The Senior Boys competed in Division 1, the top division, where they played Saint Gregory’s and lost a tough game by eight points (37-29) followed by a loss to MacKillop College by nine points (49-40). On the second day of the tournament the boys bounced back, with a win in their consolation match against Cecil Hills winning by three (44-41).
The Senior Girls competed in Division 3 with a group of girls from Years 7-11 and lost their three games. This included a nail-biting double overtime loss, where they lost to a free throw in the final minute of the game.
Overall, it was a great competition for the students and they will be motivated to return next year with the experience they have now.
