10 Tuesday July 3 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Kendrew scores 58 in Hillmorton’s first win • By Jacob Page FILLED WITH emotion and a hot-hand, Hillmorton High School basketball captain Ihaia Kendrew stepped up in a big way. The 17-year-old, motivated by the imminent departure of his coach, former Canterbury Rams captain Marques Whippy, scored 58 points to lead his team to their first win of the McDonald’s Thomson Trophy secondary school competition – a 91-83 victory over Burnside. Kendrew, who lives in Halswell, broke two competition records in the clash, most points and most three pointers made with 11. “We spoke about needing to play hard, with pride and passion before the game,” Kendrew said. “Marques has done a lot for us and showed us how to be better players and how to be men.” Kendrew beat his previous best tally of 43, while moving his team to ninth overall after knocking over eighth-placed Burnside. Kendrew scored 23 points in the first quarter but it wasn’t until he nailed three consecutive jump shots in the last two minutes that the game was safe. “Burnside came back at us, I think they were down by a point at that stage, so it was important to make some shots like that.” Kendrew said his team had struggled to foot-it in the top division after being promoted. “We are a small school so to be able to match up with the bigger schools and see how we match up has been good for us.” The point guard has been part of the Canterbury under-17 and under-19 set-ups in the past and said he’d like to chase a college scholarship in the United States next year. “Marques played college basketball there and he always spoke about the importance of education,” he said. “To go over there and have a new experience with really good players is something I would like to do.” HOT HAND: Hillmorton High School basketball captain Ihaia Kendrew dropped a record 58 points and 11 three-pointers to help his team to a victory over Burnside.

Angus Hamilton, Wayo Whyte, Riley Flanagan, Alex Brown and Nathan Balmer were all part of the team, They will now represent New Zealand at the IHF World Trophy next year at a date and location to be confirmed. In the newly introduced U18 edition of the IHF Trophy, it was New Zealand who impressed everyone, winning all of their matches in a decisive manner. The closest it ever got was against New Caledonia, who had the support of the home crowd, and in the end they beat them by seven goals. New Zealand started their campaign with a 42:20 win against Fiji, followed by a 34:18 victory against Papua New- Guinea. They then outclassed Cook Islands 43:10 and beat Australia by a 14-goal margin on the final day. “Handball is a young sport in New Zealand, so it is great that New Zealand is able to compete with countries such as the host nation New Caledonia where they grow up playing handball in schools and where their technical abilities are so evident,” said Kiwi coach Tim Rayner. “It really does prove to me that with the success New Zealand Handball is having, New Zealand will be able to push through to new levels of handball in the future. Tournaments such as this are so critical for the development of handball in our region.” coming soon sydenham www.f45training.co.nz/sydenham | sydenham@f45training.co.nz | 021 434 578
