They were rivals merely 24 hours ago, but John Paul College duo Mya Moke and Olivia Olechnowicz partnered up to send a statement to the rest of the Championship women division.

Australian under-17 teammates Jessie-May Hall (13pts, 7ast, 7stl) and Sienna Lehmann (16pts, 16reb) put on a show when Barker College trumped Immanuel College by 66-60 in their opening clash, but it was 14-year-old Sasha Clague who stole the show.

Clague, an Australian under-15 and NSW Metro under-16 representative, led the way for Barker with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

South Australian scoring machine Paddy D’Arcy made sure his Concordia College side kicked off the Under-20 Division 1 Men tournament right, dropping 26 points in their 71-60 win over Hillcrest Christian College.

It set the tone for a big day of scoring on the show court at Gold Coast Sports and Leisure Centre with Brisbane Grammar School and St James College both passing 70 points in their Under-20 Men Div 1 wins.

Charlie Mcbeath had a monster game for St Gregory’s College with 25 points and 18 rebounds, while Kingston Tutani chimed in with 27pts, but they couldn’t stop Brisbane BoysCollege from securing a 96-87 win in their men’s championship match.

Charles Hinson (20pts), Emerson Juhasz (19pts 10 reb 5 ast) and Lee Van Der Westhuizen (18pts) led BBC to victory.
