Following their victory in the Keilor Division Interschool Basketball Finals in August, eleven Year 9 and 10 students travelled to the Altona Sports Centre on Friday 23 October to compete in the next stage of the Intermediate competition, the Western Metro Region Championships.
St Albans faced a challenging draw, coming up against both Maribyrnong Sports Academy and Western Heights College, teams featuring several state and national level players.
