And we won second year in a row

The finals started at 9:ooam on Sunday 20th September 2009. The Hawera Primary School team members were Ashleigh Bennett, Kaitlyn Mehrtens, Briana Wallis, Kaitlin Mobbs, Arnold Fage, Zade Jonston, Jonty Hughes, Isaac Macleod, Jayden Rangi-Hutchinson and Eliason Calder. Team on three, one, two, three, TEAM! The starting five ran onto the court, Briana, Kaitlyn, Eliason, Ashleigh, Isaac. Ashleigh stood in the middle of the court to do the tip off. We were facing Turuturu. Ashleigh tipped it off and Turuturu got the ball. Eliason stole the ball and the first goal was scored Briana Wallis. The first quarter was finished as fast as lightning. It was time to have a team talk. Hawera Primary was winning 6-0. The second quarter was under away again. Goals went in like rockets. By half time the score was 12-2. Another goal went in, then another, then another. Like we said goals went in like rockets. And wouldn't you know it was the last quarter. One problem was Ashleigh and Eliason were both on 4 fouls and that isn't good. We needed them but Eliason was out from the game for fouling Turuturu. Ashleigh just held back and shot 3 free throws in. It was one of the best feelings in our lives, we had won the finals. The end score was 22-12. Prize giving came and everybody the partisipated got a medal. Ashleigh and Kaitlyn got M. V.P for the girls and Eliason got it for the boys. Well done Hawera Primary.
