The boys began the day with a trip to Alcatraz prison. The group was astounded by the history of the island, and by the stories to come out of Alcatraz. The boys experienced an audio tour of the prison, and watched a 15min documentary inside the prison. Although the bitter wind and cold would be torturous for inmates, the general consensus was that Fremantle prison had harsher conditions... so Australia wins again!
The big feature of the tour for the boys was the much anticipated match up with Marin Catholic. The teams did not disappoint. At the beginning of the competition I asked the boys to play above and beyond the call of duty, to dig deep and find the x-factor that would help make a difference. The JV boys responded in kind. Playing almost perfect basketball the boys were exceptional. At one stage Marin JV had pulled away by 15 points. Nik Iliadis effectively made a 6 point play in a matter of 10 seconds to pull the deficit to 7 pts at the half. The game went to the wire, we finally got a break and with approx 1 minute to go Tom Crackel hit what effectively turned out to be the winning shot. The Trinity JV side upset the undefeated Marin school by 2pts.
The Varsity team came out strong to try and replicate the JV success. Knowing that two key starters were out for Marin Varsity the boys pushed the tempo and were hanging tough going into the break. But with 15 boys in their line up Marin pulled away in the final quarter but the score did not reflect the intensity and nature of the game. Mitchel Burger played extremely well.
