CSEN Basketball Championship – A Day of Fierce Competition
On 11 March, four HCC teams took on the CSEN Basketball Championship at the State Basketball Centre. Competing against 17 schools, our teams fought hard for top honours.
Senior Boys & Girls battled through tough early matches but finished strong with well-earned wins. Junior Boys dominated their pool with convincing victories but fell short in the semi-final, finishing in 4th place. Junior Girls fought their way to the grand final in a nail-biting contest.
