ANCHOR AIMS GAMES RESULTS/PHOTOS & REPORTS

BOYS BASKETBALL – 28th

What a tournament – 8 games over 5 days! In our first game we had a 1 point win over Orewa College. Then we pulled off wins against Ashbrook and our local Te Kura Kaupapa Kokiri, to win our pool. The crossover, against Christchurch South, was our toughest game in the entire tournament and we played hard, but couldn’t combat their height and athleticism losing by 14. This put us into playing for 17th-32nd. We had close games and lost by 4 or less against Karori Normal Intermediate, John Paul College and Albany Junior High. Where’s a buzzer beater when you need one? We did pull off a convincing win against Mountainview Intermediate, from Taupo, to put us in 28th place out of the 67 teams.

All in all, a great AIMS tournament played with pride, determination and teamwork. Team members: Connor Macdonald (team medal winner), Jacob Hall, Austin Cashmore, Kyran Standen, Will Fraser, Oliver Taylor, Seth Whinney, Cameron Skilton, James Walker, Breiton Tuwairua, Benjamin Lindsey, Kameo Wagner. Coaches: Leanne Hall, Joe Broughton. Manager: Anna Walker.

GIRLS BASKETBALL - 20th

The 2017 Girls AIMs basketball team was made up of 11 girls: Makana Horne, Lily Rall, Brooke Watson, Nikki Whyte, Kalea Earles, Piper Thomas, Lucy Sandford, Ivy Mitchell, Angeleah Fraser, Sarah Burke and Sia Fotu.

As a newly formed team, the girls performed well above what they had expected. They played 8 games over the week and all apart from 1 game, against Takapuna Intermediate, the scores were incredibly close, with several wins and losses of only 1 point. The game against Takapuna Intermediate (who went on to be the 2017 winners) was the toughest game, but the Mount girls still managed to pull out some great defence and played well as a team to the end. They learnt so much and improved incredibly throughout the tournament.

Outside the competitive aspect of the games, the girls had a lot of great experiences and made friendships with players from other teams. Some of the girls also billeted players from Waimea Intermediate, Nelson, which was a lot of fun. They also enjoyed shared lunches, watched other sports and loved the whole atmosphere of the week.

Both teams were a credit to our school in behaviour and effort, and the quality of coaching was outstanding and passionate. A huge thank you from all the team members for all the support received from coaches, managers and parents.

BOYS FOOTBALL - 22nd

The MMI Boys AIMS football team was very young relative to the competition. The 13-strong squad included 10, Year 7 players that will be eligible again next year. After winning 3, losing 2 and drawing 1 game we finished 4th of 8 teams in our group. We were then the only 4th placed team to win its Round of 16 match. Things got exciting after that when our two finals matches went to penalty shootouts. We emerged victorious after the first but weren’t so lucky in the second. In the end we finished the competition in 22nd place out of 59 teams. It was a respectable result in the circumstances and the tournament was a great experience for all involved.

Team: Jed Davis, Tay Ririnui, Tommy Crockford, Ashton Pellow, Reed Tong, Jonty Burggraaf, Finley Stanelin, Gene Baggott, Brodie Gilmore, Jacob Rolleston, Tristan Kawana, Haki Argent and Zac Bryant. Our player of the week was Brodie Gilmore. Coaches: Paul Davis, Maia Ririnui.

The Football Girls had an amazing week at the AIMS Games. In preparation for the AIMS Games the girls dedicated themselves to three trainings a week, and their hard work certainly paid off. We came 16th out of 39 teams, and we came away as the top Bay of Plenty team. Rachael Cawte was also awarded MVP as she saved the day over and over again, by defending and winning the ball back from the opposition. A big thank you to Ana Sheerin who managed the team and also helped out at trainings and throughout AIMS week. Also a big thank you to the wonderful parents and and supporters who helped out during AIMS week. I am very proud of the girls and the effort that they put in throughout trainings and the games.

OPEN WATER POLO - SILVER

We had a great week, playing 10 games in total, against some very tough Auckland competition. We came through our pool play and crossovers with 7 wins and 1 draw, heading us into a semi- final against Aquinas!! Over 8 games we scored 90 goals, while conceding only 6!! Matt Anderson, (our goalie) was truly amazing!!

We were nervous against Aquinas, but we played with guts and determination, to win 4-1. Our greatest achievement of the week, or most satisfying, at least.

Our final against St Peters was exciting but they were just too strong, in the end and we lost 5-3, in the last quarter. We have great depth across our team and every single player scored a goal at some time during the tournament.

Matt, Xavier, Jack, Ruby, Gus, Charlie, EJ, Harry, Ethan and Blake - outstanding effort kids, you make us very proud every single day. Coaches, Ryan and Bae kept everyone motivated with our chant and lucky smurfs. Charlie Bury took out the AIMS Team medal for his attitude and charm across the week.
