Knockout sports is here!

During Week 3 Balaklava High School entered teams into Girls and Boys Year 8/9 Touch Football and Boys Open Football. This year we saw a massive improvement in our Touch Football with the Year 8/9 boys winning two games out of five and the girls scoring a total of 13 tries across the day which is up from zero the year before. Unfortunately the girls were unable to snatch a win but the huge improvement they made has really set Balaklava up for a great run at success next year. Our players of the day were Nicola Tiller and Charli Griffiths for the girls and in the boys Jack May and Jacob Battle.

In the Open Boys Football we were lucky enough to win against Kapunda High School by four points but unfortunately suffered a 50 point loss to Kadina. The boys battled hard all day and if it wasn’t for a small five minute lapse we may have come a lot closer to beating Kadina. The player of the day went to Jerry Logan who was outstanding in both games and really displayed some class and football nouse. Lachlan Mosler was dominant in the ruck and was able to kick a few snags for the day. Honourable mentions also go to Callum Gaze, Ethan Brownlie, Jack Heaslip and Karl Binka who all displayed the values of the school throughout the games.

Thank you to Dave Cmrlec for driving the bus and assisting with coaching and thank you to all who participated and represented Balaklava High in such a fantastic manner. The school can be very proud and we certainly have a moved into this new era with a great bunch of students who are no doubt going to achieve great things in the coming years in school sport. Well done.
