SHC take Title

In a great contest, Sacred Heart College have won the Boys Marist Basketball Championship. The Hearts had many solid contributors, but none moreso than Harri Harvey, who torched Bulleen for 24 points in the first half on his way to 32 for the game.

After playing out of their socks in the first half, SHC found themselves up by 20 just after halftime. However, Bulleen increased their defensive intensity and the Hearts had their lead whittled down to 7 with a few minutes to play. But the Sacred Heart lads weren't done just yet. Some big plays from Scotty O'Connor, Matt Williams and two HUGE plays from Sam Bromilow ensured that Sacred Heart captured their first ever championship against a school that has caused us so much grief over the years.

Well done to the entire team and to the organisers of the competition, who have done a tremendous job.

SHC Team:

Marc Williams
Scott O'Connor
Jak Francis
Christian Maynes
Sam Bromilow
Patrick Clarke
Matt Williams
Sam Blake
Zach Ashby
Harri Harvey (C)

Coach: Justin Schueller

Justin being an old scholar was asked to coach his former school in the championship, one he played in while at the school.

Fantastic effort by the boys, all us past players are proud of what you have achieved, it means a lot to the Hearts Basketball Family!

Sacred Heart College was and think is the only Marist school in Adelaide. there are over 100 in Australia and 20 different schools competed in this championship.

Those outside of the school will always not understand just how big a deal this is, but in school basketball and for Sacred Heart there is no bigger stage or no more prestiges win. Enjoy this one for a while Hearts we deserve it!

Not knowing what a Marist school was I decided to look it up. The first link I came across suggested they were "Independent, day schools for girls 3 to 18 years".

I'm not surprised the listed team took out the title, seemed to be a fair few dudes in the squad.

Ned Flanders was disgusted at the exemption of Rod and Todd for the carnival.

If you care to look back over the history of SA Schools Championships and the National Schools Championships of Basketball you'll find Sacred Heart feature prominently in the history books.

Well done to the boys, a monumental effort and something you'll remember for years to come.

I think it means schools that worship Mary (catholics) hence the Marist.

Give the tournament some credit people. In the last few years alone, notable players to grace the championships include Vic Metro player Sam Allen, who played this year, his older brother Ben (who plays college basketball I believe?) and PATRICK MILLS. Every single year there are more than a few state reps that take part and this year was no exception.

The great Sacred Heart team of 1999, who smashed everyone in the State Knockout, could only manage 5th at that year's Marist Carnival.

Well done again boys.

Some past Marist Representatives that have played at a higher level include;

Michael Kingma (Sydney Kings)
Ben Arkell (West Sydney)
Peter Miller (West Sydney)
Christian Bell (36ers)
Matt Barrett (Australian jnr rep)
Rhys Phillips (University of Utah)
David Smith (Melbourne Tigers)
Rhys Carter (West Sydney)
Frank Drimic (South Dragons)

They are the only ones i can remember of the top of my head but there are also a vast array of ABL players who have had successful state league careers in their respective states.
Congrats Sacred Heart, you out classed and out played every team that came to play you.
