I would say Unley, Mercedes and Sacred Heart will be around the mark .. as they usually have strong teams in this age group. Uney winning year 8, mercedes (I think) year 10. should be a good comp this year

Who have these teams got??

UNLEY
Jarryd Fildes
Tom Daly
James Boonstoppel

MERCEDES
Keegan Brooksby
Nathan Chedell
Gaynor

SACHRED HEART
Harri Harvey
?
?

PASADENA
Not really sure, can anyone help out here.

Also Brighton should field a strong team this year .. with Claybran Mcmath and Matt Russo.

Should be a good comp ... my tip is Unley

unley will take it out

Unley will take it out. Daly and Fildes, unstoppable duo. I also heard they got a fair good coach.

All I know is pasadena has brendan mann coaching em which is a good start

modbury

Unley vs Mercedes in a trial game this thursday .... should be a great match and a bit of an indication of who is the team to beat for this years title.

wat bout westminster??

they got:

Brad Reid
Seb Wise
Roscoe Whalan
Tom Neerauskas

Atleast you spelt three out of four names right. I'll help you out:

Westminster

PG - Roscoe Whalan (Norwood)
SG - Tom Neverauskas (South)
SF - Seb Wise (Forestville)
PF - John Marriot* (Sturt)
C - Brad Reid (South)

* - Year 10

Westminster isn't anything special, so don't get too hyped about them. They are big though, Brad's 6'10" abouts, John's around that mark too.

My bet is on Unley, it isn't even close.

126884 haha tim short

is that 'hahaha tim shortt' as in you think he posted that he is a good coach - or 'hahaha tim shortt' as in he is not a good coach - coz hes niether of those things. personally i think hes a brilliant coach and i know for a fact that he didnt post that

Gaynor isn't even playing, although Mercedes have the wonder child Scutella who played like crap against Unley today.

anonymous #128796 i think every1 played crap in that game

What schools are in the open girls knockout 2007? Does anyone have a clue?

pasadena will struggle with the big teams - when the others are a full strength rather,

one school in the girls will field 9 div 1s from top clubs and 1 div 2 from a top club

Open Boys draw released today
Unley, Mercedes and Sacred Heart all in the same pool. Three of the favourites all in the same pool ..... should make finals really interested

Can we have a link to draw

That's the crappest draw ever. Unley and Mercedes are probably the teams that should be playing of for the title, not having to play each other in the pool rounds, leaving crap teams to make the finals.

wat bout MODBURY

Pasadena girls look alright, not much depth, fielding two new girls, not much too look at, but one of them could be dangerous.

kings baptist looking good

can someone post the site for the draw

i think you are all forgetting Pedare won last year although scott herriman will not be there this year and the only team that beat trinity last year was pedare. Trinity will still have Jacob Templeton who has been playing mens district and a good support team including bolton at 6'9"

what about blackfriars? they looked alright last year.

'Really disappointed about the draws. Unley, Mercedes, and Sacred Heart have to finish on top of a tough pool after three tough games to even make the finals. Pasadena on the other hand, have to win ONE game against Aberfoyle Park and they are in the finals, simple as that. What a joke. SASSSA needs to revert back to the knockout system as is played in years 8-10, and quit playing round robin games just because it coincides with saturday morning games and is 'more convenient'. seed the schools who are typically stronger and actually have the competition be a knockout competition, as in each game could be your last. Its disappointing that two of the three schools mentioned wont even make finals..

still looking for where the draws are posted.

they get sent to the schools, its not like there is an internet site or anything

marryatville have two div 1 girls in the knockout team

nutter, what im saying is, there are teams that have to win only one game and they go through. whereas other schools have to win (more than likely) three games. see the disparity? and if your saying mercedes and unley are top six teams (some would also suggest sacred heart are) then they are deserving of playing finals. but only six teams make finals..and so, two of these teams will miss out..
to seed teams, sasssa could look at yr 10 ko results for the year level, the teams who are typically always strong, and what schools are represented well by strong district players. that wouldnt be overly difficult...

also are you saying mercedes and unley would play each other if they were seeded?? you do know its a twenty team competition...

"nutter, what im saying is, there are teams that have to win only one game and they go through. whereas other schools have to win (more than likely) three games. see the disparity?" - thats my main problem. it should be knockout, much like the system used for 9/10 and yr 8. no idea how they work out the pools, but i agree there is some level of zoning..i think they are all about convenience above anything

hey guys here to talk about the two golden grove teams. Golden Grove and Pedare.Golden grove were a suprize last year making it to the semis, great effort wiith the team they had. a few changes to the team but still a very strong one. Pedare have lost a lot of key players, keeping only one starter from last years state champs winning team, they played in a carnival during the week and had 3 convincing wins. they are a strong possibility of making the finals but shouldnt got to much further. Unley looking good with a strong team and trinity also look very strong as well just really reliant on templeton being fit again

pedare are a joke this year. they have lost ALL their good players and are now a shit team full of cocky players. their best player is a 16 div 1 and apart from that no one in their team plays higher than div 2. thanks to their good players last year (and in turn their seeding) they may do alright but as soon as they come against a decent team... SeeYaLater

sounds like someone is holding a grudge from when they lost last year...

ok so what the hell is with all this talk bout pasadena

i go to pasadena

ill put it simply
if we can even get past the first round it will be miracle
our team is dependent on:
tyrone foster (norwood)
simon lokan (forestville)
and thats it

we havea div 2 forestville in simon goodwin but he's nothing to spesh

and a div 4 south

and condsidering the talent in unley and cabra and som of the other schools
dont go wasting breath on pasadena
UNLESS they let us play our coahc lol

girls team will be strong
they havea couple div 1 players
and a div 2 player
and most of the team have had district expireince

unley are full of talent. their second team could still take down most of the comp-they have too much depth as well as some amazing individual talents, im picking them to cruise to victory

haha nutter
i love it
haha

trinity easily will take it out...anyone who thinks otherwise are a joke.....haha its the land of giants with aba players all from district from boys and girls all with state experience...they are off to geelong at the end of the year aswell....the other schools have nothing

Pasadena Girls are the joke of the competition, with no talent and no hope the should have stuck to division 3

don't thomas more have that west guy in u18, ones?

Clearly pasadena girls aint no joke!!! If u think there such a joke like to see you say it to there face!!! Gdluk makin it out the stadium with both ur ARMS!!after telling them that there a "JOKE"!!NO talent.... Pfft k u think that then!!

mercedes beat blackfriars last week in a normal game no knock out by bout 24 pts. And to someone who posted above here saying would blackfriars do well . Well i can tell you myself that we have lost 3 quality year 12's we had last year and a boy who is in year 12 this year who has changed schools this year. So the answer is "no" we are not a good team this year, our team consists of 5 yr 11, 1 yr 10 and 1 yr 12

'#135384' im sure the person u are directing that to is shaking in their boots...

is there no concordia?

kings could take out open A grade but we are in C grade. Go figure?

pedare beat blacks by 15ish!
both games they have won have been with out there two div one players! might not be as trash as people think, then again....

what about brighton?, they do have a future ais player in their team, and a few other div 1 players that can hold there own

anyone know the mercedes vs sacred heart game?

Just to get things straight.
Trinity are ALL from centrals and most have played together since year 8. There are NO west and north players and Jacob and Bolts play aba not state.
so if you dont know what your talking about...keep your comments to yourself

kings baptist r gonna take out c grade easily beating the heights by 35 and windsor gardens by 104, do u kno wat suks tho who cares its C grade no real accomplisment, boys arent too pleased were playing this low

well then have their sports coordinators nominate them in the a grade competition....its not rocket science..there is a choice on where you play

VC Fan,

I think you'll find the real players at Gleeson are not talking themselves up but one wannabe player. I believe they have 5 or 6 div 1 players from North and Norwood though I don't know if classic commitments will mean some will miss the first round games. I think the balance of the team play Div2 or lower.

I think you are probably like this 8 foot jumper - can't play for shit but can certainly talk shit.

yeh, big win to unley, fildes and boonstoppel shooting the absoulte lights out(something silly like 11 0f 15 between them from downtown). Unley are looking strong. although don't really seem to have a dominant big, or a big at all really. This could be there one downfall i think, otherwise appear to be living up to their status as one of the favourites of this tournament.

add mike shortt to that three equation and its 14-18....they have just smashed one of the favourites by 30 points and you're considering possible downfalls??? inside presence - hadyn grimmer? the guy has been consistently so good yet so underrated for too long. today he outrebounded and outplayed brooksby and gezola, scoring so much on put backs. not to mention the number of blocks he had on defence. not to mention fildes post defence...

grimmer an inside threat, ppft. Why is he starting while by far the team's best big (tom goodall) is sitting on the bench. He is way too weak and skinny to guard anyone that is even half decent and his offensive game is non-existant, the only way he scores is of perfect passes from team mates. If he continues to start, Unley's grasp on the title may well slip away.

YOU ARE A JOKE - say what u want - come out and watch hadyn play and see for urself - yeah hes weak and skinny but he makes up for it with sheer determination and court smarts - the best you will see in any big man. today he wouldve come close to a triple double with rebounds points and blocks coming up against two quality big men..not to mention hes one of the best team players you could have

you ask any person on Unley's team (and yes - im a part of it) how valuable and reliable he is every single game - as a team there would not be one negative word said about haydos because of what he gives us on both ends

Were u even watching the game? Hadyn a triple double, no where near. Would have had 4 points, 5 boards and 4 blocks at most. He had zero effect on this game.

WHHHAAAAAAAAA????????? now your saying you saw the game? and you still continue to bag him???!!! we actually had some guys doing stats for the team, and i can assure you haydos' numbers were FAAAAR greater than that..4pts???!!!!????!!!! i think you need a copy of the scoresheet 5 boards.......hahaa...he mightve had that in one offensive series...watching the game? i was playing you nob...loving the fact that i was on hadyn grimmers team

He's your team captain, are u serious? Yeh, he comes across as one hell of a leader, must be his vocal enthusiasm.

ever heard of leading by example dickhead..and if the teams decided on it obviously hes a respected choice

bottom line...ur not from unley...how would u know? especially if the guys on his team are coming on to back him up like that - doesnt that tell u something?

Findon beat William Light on wednesday by 1 point Group C

Salisbury High knocked Gleeson and my school, Thomas More out yesterday, two comfortable wins for the ferals.

was a great game unley vs mercedes

when do unley play sacred heart?

any one know how the girls went?

i heard girls A grade played yesterday but i don't know how they went can anyone help?

unley and loreto went through to the finals...cabra third and will play off against third place in the other pool to go through

Go modbury 2 comfortable wins against charles ca, and norwood mar. The stars in the team ripped it up they might take out B grade like they did last yr
