Secondary Schools Annual Basketball Tournaments See Hundreds Of Island Children Shine

The Spring term witnessed the fourth instalment of the annual secondary basketball

tournaments organised by Michael Peake of Carisbrooke College and hosted by Cowes

Enterprise College.

It’s been another successful year, with over 230 young players participating.

What’s particularly pleasing is that all nine secondary schools were represented in at least one tournament this year, with The Bay and Carisbrooke College continuing their 100%

attendance over the last four seasons.

This year saw the rise of Chriist the King College, who finished as either champions or

runners-up in four of the five tournaments.

The Bay continued their overall dominance, securing yet another championship and maintaining their incredible record of winning at least one tournament every year since the competition’s re-establishment in 2022.

That’s nine championships in total.

Ryde School added a second title to their history, and Carisbrooke College managed to take home the final competition of the season by winning the year 11 tournament trophy.

Year 7 Winners = The Bay

Year 8 Winners = Christ The King

Year 9 Winners = Ryde School

Year 10 Winners = Christ The King

Year 11 Winners = Carisbrooke College

Since the tournaments were re-established in 2022 The Bay remains the powerhouse of the

total out of 98.

Christ the King have now moved into second place overall with four more overall wins ahead of Carisbrooke College in third.
