Overtime. Upsets. High Scores. What else could you ask for from high school basketball.
After both trophies changing hands this past week, and only limited chances to get hands on them, the competition is really heating up.
Thomson Division One- Top 8
🏆Cashmere vs St Thomas- Is STC going to keep the dowson cup for another week after their major upset last week?
🏀Hillmorton vs StAC- Another big match up for Hillmorton following their thrilling OT win last week.
🏀Shirley vs Kaiapoi- Two teams sitting even bottom of the table. Who is claiming 7th spot?
🏀St Bede’s vs Christ’s- Another monster match up. But after last week this could be easy taking for SBC.
