Basketball side makes it three in a row CHRIST’S College’s top basketball team has won the Thomson Trophy for the third year in a row. Under the guidance of <strong>2022</strong> New Zealand Coach of the Year Ben Sheat, they are the first side to achieve the three-win streak since 2006. “It has been our toughest title, battling through the challenges of sickness and injuries throughout the season,” Sheat said. “But the boys rose to the occasion in the final, winning 99–81 against St Thomas of Canterbury College. “It was an awesome atmosphere for the game, with a crowd of about 1500 at Cowles Stadium. The support was outstanding, and the boys delivered a true team effort, with everyone making a major contribution. “For our Year 13 players, it was a great way to end a massive season.” Sheat, who has steered the side for five years, also lauded the commitment and achievements of the whole squad. “Throughout the season, all the boys have shown great resilience, powering up for each game and never backing away from the challenge.” Standout guard Tom Harrison – scoring 36 points – was named most valuable player in the final, while Hunter Adam was in equally fine form, adding a further 27 points.
