A High Suffolk Primary Schools basketball tournament was held on Friday at Debenham High School.
10 schools were divided into 2 leagues.
Robert Hitcham's started well but struggled to turn dominant possession into points. We were pleased to win 8-4 against Eye and 2-0 against Stradbroke.
However, in the next pair of group matches Hitcham's played some excellent basketball.
We beat Laxfield 16-2 with Ewan, Danny and Oliver playing particularly well. In our last group match we really started to score freely with a 28-2 win against Wickham Market. Jen and Phobe had good games and both scored highly.
Robert Hitcham's were clear winners of their group.
In the semi final we played the runner up from the other group: Stonham Aspall. Hitcham's stuggled to play their fluent style against strong and tall opponents. Jen was unable to get in any shots due to close marking from a taller male opponent and we lost by 10-2. Stonham went on to win the final against Eye.
The event was great fun and despite only a couple of practices we did much better than expected.
