Open A Basketball Reach State Final Four

A first-half defensive masterclass set up a comprehensive 68-48 win over Concordia College yesterday.

Trinity conceded just ten points in the entire first half, holding a very talented Concordia team to a series of tough shots, with the resulting misses igniting the Trinity fast break offence.

Ezra Wormald (Year 11) was particularly good in transition, rebounding and running, Shabani Kuyomba (Year 12) was active around the basket and Mack Schaftenaar (Year 11) and Deng Manyang (Year 12) both created numerous high-percentage opportunities. 

The 32-10 scoreline at the half basically sealed the game for the home team in front of a packed STARplex grandstand.

Concordia found their range from deep was a series of three-pointers in the second half but was unable to halt the running game of Trinity, who kept the margin away from danger.

Trinity College now advances to the championship finals on Wednesday 17 September against regular rivals Prince Alfred College.

Thank you to all staff and students who cheered on the team during an electric game.
