Open Girls AHS v Park Mains High School
AHS’s undefeated team started strong in what was to be a tough game of basketball against last year’s Scottish Champions. The senior team played outstanding with point guard Richards leading the play and hitting points from the floor and also on the drive. At half time AHS were down by 1. Captain Van Wees had a strong first half but got into foul trouble and had to sit down for the 3rd quarter. Young talent Marsden stepped up and was in double figures for rebounds. Special performances also came from McLoughlin, Harrison and Black as all players hustled defensively and made big shots. The winning basket came from Van Wees as she held her nerves on the foul line. An excellent team performance and the girls now look set to take the title!
The girls finals take place on the 21st March at Grangemouth Sports Complex. The U15 girls are still to play their game and if they win 3 out of 4 girls team will play in the Scottish Cup finals aswell as the Open Boys team. This is an outstanding achievement for the pupils and the staff involved.
