WESTERN REGION KNOCKOUT The senior volleyball squad once again started their progression through the knockout series to defend both their Western Region title and State title. They have lost some strength in the team with Derryn Clayton and Jack Press leaving, which gave an opportunity for some of the junior players to step up. Emmitt Smith has also returned to the team from a 2 year break which has strengthened our attack and blocking. Tom Baker has also made huge improvements and is now playing at the highest levels even though only being in Year 10. The team cruised through our first couple of games against schools that do not have a volleyball program. Blayney High who has a very strong tradition were defeated in 3 sets to make our way into the Western final against West Wyalong. They defeated West Wyalong again in 3 sets with ease. This placed the team number 1 in the Western Region. Congratulations to the team for all their hard work. It was particularly impressive due to both Tyler Dean and Andrew Christie being out also from injury. WESTERN REPRESENTATIVES IN VOLLEYBALL Eight students from Kelso High made the Western Region team who competed in Taree in early Term 2. The Team finished 4th. Those players were: Tyler Dean, Hayden James (Captain), Harry Bowden, Zac Morrison, Andrew Christie, Emmitt Smith, Tom Baker and Lachlan Thomas. Tyler Dean and Hayden James made the NSW Open CHS side which competed in the Trans-Tasman tournament held in New Zealand. Unfortunately Tyler was injured and could not compete. Hayden James was very impressive from all reports and gained selection in the Honorary Australian team which played a one off test match against New Zealand. Well done to Hayden on the hard work and effort over the last 5 years. This is a big honor. STATE TEAM REPRESENTATIVES Hayden James, Tom Baker and Zac Morrison all tried out for the U/17 NSWs Open Volleyball side. They travelled to Sydney over 10 times to train and compete in tournaments. A squad of 30 was chosen. Tom and Zacc made it to the last cut but were unfortunately eliminated. Hayden James made the team and travels to Victoria in the holidays to compete at the National Championships. Well done to all the boys. SENIOR GIRLS SOCCER The senior girls soccer team played Parkes High in the semi-final of the Western Region CHS knockout at Proctor Park. The team’s numbers were down with three girls out and the flu causing problems which meant our bench was very light for the game. The game began with both teams evenly matched. As the game continued the Kelso girls combined well displaying solid ball skills passing to each other. Our team work was of a high standard which caused trouble for the Parkes defence. Parkes themselves matched our girls with their own solid play. Our girls put plenty of pressure on the Parkes team. Kelsey Sherman and Dana Grenfell combined well controlling much of the game in the centre. Jaimi Inwood and Aimee Morris were particularly strong in the backs supported by Carol Prosser and Ebony Fenton. Aimee’s defence was a special highlight and Jaimi continually linked up with the midfield turning defence into attacking raids. Natalie Hugo and Caitlin Morris caused plenty of headaches for Parkes making many attacking raids into the goal area. Brooke Inwood, Jordyn Hayter and Kelly Baker also played well contributing to the final result. Kelso went on to win the game 1 goal to nil. This now placed the team in the final against Mudgee High. All the best to the girls. A NATIONAL CHAMPION Holly Simons from Year 9 has returned from Melbourne where she was a member of the NSW under 17 team cycling pursuits that won the national title, breaking the record in the process. What an achievement by a great student with a positive attitude to all she does.
SPORTING TEAMS SUCCESS JUMP ROPE FORT HEART There were 17 students from Year 7 and 8 who took part in Jump Rope For Heart this year. The ‘Jump Off’ took place last Friday the 23 rd of November. The kids raised $612.70 and Kim Simpson should be congratulated on the raising the most money of $229.95. This was a great effort by all the students involved especially considering the limited time they had to raise money. We look forward to participating again next year.
