PBHS results at St Johns 2008

Over the weekend of the 1-2 March 2008, Pretoria Boys High School (PBHS) took part in the St Johns Tournament. The tournament was divided into 2 pools of 4 teams. In pool A, there was St Benedict, St Johns 1^st, King Edward School (KES), SACS and in pool B, there was Durban High School (DHS), PBHS, St Johns 2^nd, Rondebosch Boys High.

PBHS started the tournament by beating Rondebosch 49-19 which gave them great confidence going into their second game against their much fancied opponents DHS. PBHS with a very young and inexperienced team expected DHS to blow them off the court but in the end there was only 11 points between the sides with DHS taking it 48-37. After that result, the PBHS coaches felt confident of being able to compete in the DHS annual basketball tournament. The last game of the pool was against St Johns 2^nd team and PBHS made easy work of them with a resounding victory of 51-12. After the pool games, PBHS advanced to the semi-finals where they faced the eventual winners St Benedict and they lost 51-46. PBHS finished 3^rd overall in the tournament. They now prepare for the American International School of Johannesburg annual basketball tournament and the DHS tournament. We will keep you posted about their progress.
