She also represented Met East in basketball this year, despite being a bottom age player, and gained selection in the Spartans division 1 club representative team. In addition to her basketball exploits, Georgia also had a great year in Cross Country running, representing the College, her District and Met East at the State Championships. Georgia was also a College and District representative for Track & Field, and will tomorrow morning compete for Sheldon in her very first aquathlon. Beyond these achievements, Georgia is a great role model for all other athletes at the school, always putting her team before herself, and never out to seek personal recognition. PRIMARY SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR NOMINEES (and the sports they have represented the College in this year) JUSTIN BROWN - Cross Country, Track & Field, Basketball, Soccer JEAN-LUC FULLER - Triathlon, Cross Country, Track & Field.

Quite simply, Max is a freak of an athlete who has had an unbelievable first year at representative level! In Cross Country, Max was third in Australia.

3 In the 800m, he is first in Queensland, and is looking forward to racing against the best the other states have to offer at the upcoming National Primary School Championships. Despite a very heavy training load for running, Max also represented Sheldon College in Touch Football this year, proving himself to be a very handy player. Max regularly shows up students many years his senior at training, as he quite simply needs to come first in every race and every training exercise.

4 SECONDARY SPORTSMAN OF THE YEAR NOMINEES (and the sports they have represented the College in this year) NICHOLAS BOGNAR AFL, Track & Field, Volleyball CONNOR BRADFIELD Cross Country, Swimming, Touch Football, Track & Field, Volleyball SHAUN EARP Cross Country, Track & Field, Triathlon JOHN GALLAGHER AFL, Cross Country, Track & Field AIDAN FULLER Cross Country, Swimming, Track & Field, Triathlon LACHLAN JONES AFL, Basketball, Track & Field, Volleyball THOMAS MACBETH AFL, Basketball, Cross Country, Swimming, Touch Football, Track & Field WILL MORRIS AFL, Cross Country, Track & Field DUGALD STRACHAN AFL, Cross Country, Track & Field DAVID WEHL AFL, Soccer, Touch Football, Track & Field, Volleyball CHRISTIAN WILSON Swimming, Track & Field, Triathlon SHAUN EARP was named the winner of the Secondary Sportsman of the Year. In Cross Country, Shaun was a Queensland School Sport representative, and placed second of all 14 year-olds at the National Titles in Western Australia. In Track & Field, he was recently the fastest of all 14 year-olds in Queensland at the State Titles, and qualified to represent our state at the National Championships. His progression in Triathlon is also astounding. Despite only moving to this sport from running at the start of last year, he has already competed for Met East at the State Championships and placed 4th in his age group at the National Youth Championships in Twin Waters earlier this year. It is scary to think how good he will be once he has a few more years of swimming and cycling behind him.

The game started quickly with both teams getting a basket within the first minute. The Sheldon boys rebounded well and passed the ball up the court to make some good baskets. After 10 minutes the boys had established a good lead of 13 points to 7. After 15 minutes all players in the team had scored at least one basket, which was the first time that has occurred this year. By half time the score was extended to 25 points to 9 in favour of Sheldon Navy. The second half was similar to the first with a good passing game resulting in 6 different players scoring. This highlights the depth of their attack that now exists when they play as a

10 team. Well done to all especially the coach, Mr Frewin for making such a big difference to the style of play that was prevalent at the beginning of the year. The game finished on a high with the game s top scorer Lachlan Kelly sinking a 3 pointer within the last 3 seconds resulting in lots of cheers all round. The final score reflected a great team effort, but more importantly the number of scorers demonstrated the depth within the team when they play as a team. U11 Boys Metro Navy 40 v Carina Eagles 45 The week had the boys (Ambrus Major, Lachlan Kelly, Liam Forbes, Keagan Forbes, Lachlan Andrews, Hayden McKillop and Cooper Jones) playing against the second placed team the Carina Eagles. The game started quickly with Sheldon getting the first basket and both teams traded baskets with the score locked at 12 all after 10 minutes. The Sheldon boys have been developing their passing game and they are now proficient at passing the ball forward to a team mate to score. It s a pleasure to watch. The Carina Eagles skipped out to a 5 point half time lead and started strong in the second half with 3 unanswered baskets; however the Sheldon boys were able to regroup and turn the scoring their way with some great team work and had levelled the score at 32 points each by 8 minutes into the second half. That was a great turnaround against a quality team which boasts 3 Division 1 rep players and 3 Division 3 rep players. The teams continued to trade basket for basket, but the Carina Eagles were able to establish a 5 point break in the last 5 minutes which was maintained until the final whistle. Although the boys went down narrowly to a team with a quality line-up, the boys were able to match it with them all the way through and were able to come back from a significant deficit. This game demonstrated what a quality team the U11 Sheldon Navy Metro have become. U13 Girls Metro Navy 50 v Jets Falcons 14 Spectators were treated to a fine display of teamwork again this week! Player of the Week went to Georgia Lane for threading the needle, weaving between opposing players as if they weren t there! Chelsea Anthony (18 points) was again top scorer, and Kaitlyn Evans (2 points) impressed with some lightning-fast passes. Sarah Millar (4 points) took some great rebounds, while Kyla Johnson (2 points) and Rachel Evans (12 points) made some well-timed intercepts. Danielle Bayes (12 points) played a brilliant all-round game. Great to watch, girls! PLAYERS OF THE WEEK Basketball U13 G M Navy Georgia Lane
