S1 Boys Basketball

Well done to the S1 Boys basketball team, who took to the court last night for their very first games in a Barrhead High strip.

The boys were playing away at Williamwood High School against St Ninians and Williamwood.  In the first game, the boys imposed themselves early on, but squandered a number of chances under the basket.  In defence, Jordan and Jac were keeping the St Ninians side quiet.

Into the second half, the boys continued to play well with Sean and Connor converting a few baskets.  St Ninians finished the stronger, winning the game 12-4.

In the second game against Williamwood, the boys started well and by the half-way point the game was tied at 10-10.  In the second half, Connor made a number of lay-ups to keep us in the game, but again Williamwood had too much.  The final score was 21-18 to Williamwood.  All of the boys played a part in both games and have a new found confidence, which they will carry into their next games on the 2nd Feb.  

Team Captain: Connor

Man of the Match: Jordan 

 

Basketball Victory

Well done to BHS Senior Boys Basketball Team who managed a slim victory against St Ninians HS, winning 24-26.

Barrhead started the game brilliantly with some excellent inter-play between D Mundemba and A Watson. Into the second quarter with Barrhead leading 7-11, St Ninians stormed into the lead, finishing the half 17-13 ahead.
In the second half both teams tired a little, which allowed J Beatt to demonstrate some excellent individual skill by driving to the basket on numerous occasions. The final few minutes of the game were frantic, with Barrhead ahead by two points both teams used time-outs to tweak their offences. Further good work from D Mundemba in defense ensured victory for Barrhead.
Well done to all of the boys involved, including those that debuted for the team – E. Stevenson, A Innes, R Cooper, A Gilmour, S Ahmed, N Telerman and K McCormack.

Senior Boys Basketball Win

Barrhead High’s senior boy’s basketball team have reached the semi-finals of the Renfrewshire and East Schools’ cup after defeating St Andrews Academy 52 – 69.

In a thrilling quarter-final match, away to St Andrew’s, Barrhead took an early lead in the 1st quarter (17 – 24) thanks in the main to Stewart Booth and Jon Faulds scoring 12 and 10 points respectively.  Barrhead extended their lead in the 2nd quarter with some excellent interplay.  Fraser Black also contributed with two, 3-pointers.  By the halfway point Barrhead lead 29-39.

Into the third quarter and the boys upped their game again scoring 19 points in total, and at the same time restricted the opposition to 9 points.  As Barrhead started the 4th quarter, they lead the game 38 – 58.  St Andrew’s then began to produce some of their best basketball scoring 14 points this quarter.  With a commanding lead, Barrhead were content to hold on to the ball when in offense, although Scott MacCuish scoring three consecutive baskets, ensured Barrhead maintained their lead.

Other unsung heroes included Max Curran who rebounded well at both ends of the court, Stuart Faulds who defended well against older and more experienced players and Colin Redmond for his rebounding and ridiculous looking headband.

Barrhead now meet Williamwood H.S. in the semi-final.  Well done boys!

Senior boys basketball win

Barrhead’s senior boys basketball team recently travelled to Johnstone High school for their third away game of the season.

Johnstone High are competing in the league for the first time this year and this allowed a number of Barrhead’s fringe players to stake a claim for more court time.

Another good 1st quarter from Craig Campbell and Scott MacCuish got Barrhead into a commanding lead.  Fraser Black, Jon Faulds and Stewart Booth were used sparingly, but controlled possession for Barrhead High when on court.  Max Curran and Colin Redmond worked tirelessly at both ends of the court claiming rebounds.  Barrhead eventually ran out 28 – 69 winners.  Well done to all the boys involved.

Senior Boys Basketball win

Barrhead High’s senior boys basketball team managed their second win of the week by defeating Gleniffer High school 72 – 24.  The game was played in a good spirit with Gleniffer competing in their first ever basketball league game.

Barrhead’s quality shone through with an excellent first quarter from Craig Campbell and Scott McCuish.  Well done to all the boys who participated.

Senior Boys Basketball Win

Barrhead High School’s senior boys’ basketball team got the new season off to a flyer last night with a win against Renfrew High School.

The boys started the game well, taking a 15-19 lead in the first quarter.  In the second quarter Barrhead consolidated their lead with some excellent 3-pointers from Fraser Black and Stewart Booth.  Jon Faulds also contributed with four consecutive lay-ups without reply.

In to the third quarter and Barrhead came into their own, extending their lead to 15 points (43 – 58).  Stewart Booth produced some of the best basketball of the game scoring 14 of Barrhead’s 21 points this quarter alone. 

As the game entered the final quarter Renfrew High rallied; they found their purpose and drove at the tiring Barrhead defence bringing their score to within four points of Barrhead.  However, man-of-the-match S Booth, pounced on a defensive error and scored a lay-up; winning a foul throw in the process.  Barrhead High went on to win the game by 58 – 67.

Other star performers included Scott MacCuish and Max Curran for some excellent rebounding at both ends of the court.  Thomas McGaughey was forever making darting runs through the middle of the court stretching the opposition. 

Well done to all the boys involved.  Onward and upward!
