Girls Qualify For CBSQ Shield

For the first time, King’s Junior Secondary girls had the opportunity to qualify for the CBSQ Shield through the Wildcard Tournament, and our 91ÖÆƬ³§s rose to the challenge.

King’s entered the youngest team in the competition, with four Year 9 91ÖÆƬ³§s, three Year 8 91ÖÆƬ³§s, and one Year 7 91ÖÆƬ³§ competing against older and more experienced teams. To qualify, the team needed to finish in the top two of their five-team pool.

The girls opened with a strong 34–29 win against Springfield State High School, followed by a 37–23 victory over Cannon Hill Anglican College. Miah R. played a key role in this game, scoring 19 points, including four three-pointers.

King’s then defeated Emmaus College 32–18, securing a top-two finish and qualification for the next stage. In their final pool game against Unity College, King’s produced some of their best basketball, leading 19–8 at half-time before Unity fought back to claim a 30–24 win.

As the youngest team in the tournament, the girls exceeded expectations and demonstrated resilience, teamwork, and determination. A special congratulations to Bernice K., who made her representative debut.

The team has now earned a place in the CBSQ Shield Tournament in August, which is a fantastic achievement and an exciting sign of what is ahead.
