BOYS FOOTBALL

Late Term 2 our 9/10 Boys and Our Open Boys Football Teams played through minor rounds chasing another state finals birth. 

The 9/10 Boys played off against Xavier College for a spot in the finals at Balaklava oval. Unfortunately, it was a tough day at the office for our boys, as they couldn't quite get their game going. While effort was there through the game, Xavier had a number of big key position players that ultimately took control.  

Best Players: Ryan Boobyer, Connor Wilmer, Khyan Carpenter, Aden Baker, Max Aston and Steele Harbrow.

The Open Boys had a date with Clare HS at Balaklava oval on a frosty morning. The boys had a blistering start kicking a quick goal in the first 30 seconds and leading for most of the first. Ultimately, as the game wore on, our lack of key position players due to unavailability began to take a toll. A narrow loss followed, and BHS were left wondering what could have been! 

Best Players: Flynn Young, Jack Pike, Jesse Humphries, Seb Hughes, Dylan Martin and Tait Hadley.

Year 7/8 Knockout Football – Round 1 Success! 
Our Year 7/8 Knockout Football team made the journey to Maitland yesterday for Round 1 of the School Sport SA Knockout Competition — and what a day it turned out to be!
Despite leaving Balaklava under grey skies, the weather cleared to deliver perfect football conditions, and our boys certainly rose to the occasion! 
Two dominant wins saw Balaklava High School charge into Round 2 with confidence and momentum. The entire team played selfless, team-first footy, with standout performances from Riley M, Zayden S, Dylan I, Elliot S, Lachy H and Archer R. The boys showed great skill, determination, and teamwork across both games.

Balaklava High – 13.2 (80)

YEAR 7/8 KNOCKOUT BASKETBALL FINALS
Last term, our Year 7/8 girls' and boys' basketball teams headed to the Wayville Sports Centre to compete in the Division 3 School Sport SA Basketball Finals.
The boys put on a thrilling show, with every game going down to the wire — all decided by just one point! A close loss and a draw meant they just missed out on a spot in the minor final.
Our girls were on fire in the minor rounds, going through undefeated to earn a place in the grand final! They came up against a strong opponent in the decider, and while they didn’t get the win, they walked away with an incredible **2nd place finish** — a massive achievement!
A huge thank you to the parents who helped with transport and scoring — your support makes these opportunities possible!
