Ryedale School have won both the year 7 and year 8 Scarborough and district basketball tournaments.  The year 7s, led well by Bailey Crossland, met St Augustine’s in the semi-final of their tournament, winning a tight game 9-5, with Marcus Gatenby performing well under the basket, finishing off some strong moves.  Then they met a strong Scalby team in the final.  Both sides cancelled each other out with some strong defending but Dougie Brewster-Brown led some fast breaks to take the game away from Scalby in the closing stages, with Ryedale eventually winning the final 19-10.

Year 8 - back row (l to r) - Oliver Kelsey, Jake Edwards-Nutton, Will Jeffels, Lewis Garbutt, Ethan Crusher, Harry Coldbeck Front row (l to r) - George Stead, Jacob Barbour, Jonah Pollard, Jack Biggins, Joe Johnson

The year 8 team dominated Graham School in their first game.  Some quick passing and strong rebounding led to a 104-6 victory, with George Stead and Jacob Barbour playing well.  They took this form into the final against Malton, winning the game 51-16.  Lewis Garbutt, Will Jeffels and Jake Edwards played particularly well in the final.  Harry Coldbeck picked up the trophy as winning captain.
