Schoolboy Basketball. The Saints travelled up the hill last weekend to take on long-time rivals, Hilton College, playing Schoolboy Basketball.
With Hilton having won the two previous encounters, the visitors were looking to get a victory away from home. In front of a capacity crowd, the two teams exchanged blows. Hilton’s aggressive get-to-the-basket tactic paid dividends with numerous fast break opportunities and free throws because of fouls.
The Saints kept it close throughout with solid execution on their offensive sets; however, it was Hilton College who were able to hold their nerve longer. They opened a 9-point lead in the 4th quarter. While the Saints continued to battle and pulled the game back to within 5 points in the closing seconds, it was not enough, as Hilton handed the young Saints team their first loss of the term.
St Charles College will look to bounce back this coming weekend against DHS before heading to St John’s, Johannesburg, for the biggest schoolboy basketball tournament of the season.
