Pretoria High School League Finals 2009
June 18, 2009 in Gauteng
Pretoria High Schools Finals
Under 14
The u14 girl’s final was a well fought battle between the girls of Willow Ridge and Mamelodi Bees. The young Bees team showed the better fundamentals converting lay ups off of Willlow’s turnovers. Willow Ridges on the other hand was playing solid defence with their 2-3 zone and later on the press, it was just unfortunate that they unable to convert their steals into baskets. As most games at this level go it was a low scoring game with the final score being 10-8 in Bee’s favour. In the end it was willows inability to score from the line that ultimately gave Bee’s the game, they were 2/17 from the free throw line.
The boy’s final was a Pretoria Boys High School affair with their A team taking on the B. The A team took the game 24-8. It must be said that the level of basketball being played by Boys High in this age group was very impressive and it wasn’t difficult to see how both their teams ended up in the final. The real stand out was the A team point guard number 18 (kamo). Read the rest of this entry →
2009 Pretoria High School League wrap up
June 5, 2009 in Gauteng
The 2009 Pretoria Schools League has proven how much the standard has risen in this game. The battle has always been between your top 3 boys and girls schools (PBHS, Glen and St Albans) as well as (PHSG, DSG and Glen). The tide has however turned gradually over recent years and the big guns are not so big after all. This is a brief summary of how teams have fared this season.
U/14 GIRLS:
Pool A comprised of the “Big Schools” in PHSG, DSG and Glen and also featured the B- team from Willowridge. The first game of the season saw Glen A lose to Willows B and that set the tone for an interesting season all round. DSG has shown consistency in beating all the teams in their group although their game against PHSG exposed their reliance on one player as they won by a lucky 3 pointer in the dying moments. PHSG has shown no consistency as they fought hard for a win against Willows B although they made easy work of Glen A. DSG and PHSG proceed to the semis. Pool B saw Willowridge and Bees make easy work of Glen B, PHSG B and Prestige. Willowridge subsequently gave Bees a hiding to ensure a first place finish in the hope of an “easier” semi-final.
Inconsistency in pool A could work against them but the quality of junior basketball has taught one not to put their head on the block. The main surprise in this group is the shock exit of Glen without winning a single game this year. Willows and DSG look like strong contenders with Bees promising an upset but only time will tell.
Possible semi-final 1: Bees v DSG

Pretoria High Schools League: PBHS does a number on the Champions
June 5, 2009 in Gauteng
The 2009 Schools League started with a huge shock and disappointment as it was discovered that the U/19 Boys defending champions, Rosina Sedibane had failed to register their team for the season. Schools in the weekend pool were not as disappointed as everybody else as they saw an opportunity to make the semi’s in the absence of the powerhouse. Their dreams were however short-lived as the league made a concession which saw the boys from Laudium back in the chase to defend their title.
On Saturday the 30th of May Rosina met their pool rivals PBHS in the final group stage encounter which would decide who got the “easier” semi-final against St Albans. As usual the “counting your chickens before they hatch” exercise gave itself prominence as Rosina promised a walloping of the “small boys” from Brooklyn. Boys High kept their mouths closed and heads up as they relaxed and focussed on the task at hand. The game started off at an electrifying pace, an indication of the kind of game we were in for. Brian Tsabadi marshalled the Boys High troops from the SG position while their point-guard dictated terms for them on offence. Lehlogonolo played the role of the former for Rosina while Bongi (MVP from last season) did the offensive manoeuvring for Rosina from the point position. Read the rest of this entry →
