On Tuesday 27 May, Chisholm faced off against John Septimus Roe for the second time in three years in the Senior Boys ACC Basketball Grand Final at Warwick Stadium.

Cheered on by a number of Chisholm staff and students who made the trip, Chisholm started brightly in the first quarter taking an early lead. However, JSR clawed their way back to lead at quarter time.

Both teams played high tempo basketball and no quarter was given in a game that really displayed the qualities of both teams, rightly seen as the best two school basketball teams in the ACC for 2025.

Skill level was at a premium with both teams hitting a range of three pointers and displaying desire and determination in every play.

Alas, it was not to be Chisholm’s day, as JSR earned a deserved win with an exceptional display. However, our squad should take great pride in their achievement in reaching the final of such a prestigious ACC Competition and coming runners up.

Well done to Mr Butler and the whole squad for their combined commitment to training and developing character, resilience and a positive culture at the head of our basketball programme for younger Chisholm basketball players to aspire to.

Director of Sport
