Softball team in State final

The boys' open softball team from Brisbane Water Secondary College has recently played in the State finals for the fourth successive year.

In the opening game. the boys lost narrowly to Endeavour Sports High School, who eventually went on to be runners-up in the State final.

This loss put Brisbane Water into the Plate side of the draw where they defeated Mudgee and The Forest and narrowly lost to Hunter Sports High.

These results placed the team 11th in the State which is an extremely creditable position for one of the college's most consistently high performing teams, college principal Mr Pat Lewis said.

Representing the college in the team were Zac Dawes (captain), Joel Weekes, Hayden Scott, Nathan Crowson, Jason Overton, Luke Duggan, Daniel Mantzakos, Alex Brown, Simon Nipsala, Beau Rankins, and Jeremy Bursle.

"Several of these players will continue in the college next year to again contest the title but with the local Peninsula softball team facing an uncertain future due the loss of their ground, the opportunity for the students to develop their skills in regular competition will be severely diminished," Mr Pat Lewis said.
