Year 8 and 9/10 Knockout Finals
It's funny to see that there are 4 yr 10 KO threads with 296 replies, and 3 yr 8 KO threads with 30 replies, all with recent replies including predictions for finals. Yet since Thursday and Fridays finals noone has posted a thing. It kind of shows who the people that post on here are - noone wants to post about a loss....
Unley High were dominant over the two days. Not only were they the only school with a team in all four comps, but all four teams reached the grand final, with the 9/10 boys, 9/10 girls and year 8 boys taking the title.
9/10 girls - Unley were very comfortable all day, a real balanced team that defeated Cabra in the final.
9/10 boys - A real close comp with some quality games. Cabra, Sacred Heart, Unley and St Pauls were all capable of winning. Unley won the games that mattered however, the final a thrilling overtime win against Cabra.
8 boys - Final between Unley and Tenison Woods, who were clearly the best teams having comfortable semis. Their group game was a one point win to TW, and the final was a close encounter with Unley prevailing in a low scoring game.
8 girls - Kadina were clearly the best team on the day and were never really significantly challenged. The story of the day had to be Unley, who with only 2 stars and 7 novices pulled off a stunning upset of Cabra in the semi. Coach Beaumont completely outcoached his Cabra counterpart.
Overall, an incredible achievement by Unley. Huge congratulations to them.
Thoughts on the day?
