💪🏀❤️CHAMPIONS❤️🏀💪 Celebrating your HSFC Basketball Academy the West Midlands AOC League Champions 25/26.
Unbeaten at home with 13 wins in the league, reaching the Elite 8 in the National Cup, these players have hit a whole new level for basketball in Herefordshire.
Our 4 second years, Dylan, James, captain Bodhi and vice captain Oli have set the highest standard. Josh completing the starters, supported by our other first years Louis, Harrison, Praise, Ewan, Jonah and Dom have all contributed and every player has got on the scoresheet this season.
Coach Graham Biggs said “two years ago the academy didn’t win a single game in any competition. Last year the players joined me in rebuilding the program. As a result we came 4th and had a good cup run. This year the commitment has been fabulous to witness. The players have allowed themselves to grow and embrace the challenge. Winning single digit matches is more about character than anything else. We’ve won 4 big games in single digits with big shots to close out games. I’m really proud of this group of young men, it’s been a joy to be part of this basketball family.”
Sport is deeply embedded in HSFC. Thanks go to Mr Douthwaite for his support together with Chris our driver and the whole team in sport at the college.
Thanks also to Hereford Elite our sister program for helping the players to develop.
Thanks to Dave, Gedas, Roger and Boudicca our officials.
We now look forward to the college sports awards dinner in May.
