On the 27th November 2018, Southam travelled to Campion School for the Year 8’s first Basketball match of the season. Southam started very well but and showed promising signs but unfortunately couldn’t seem to hit the target as they went in behind (Southam 2-12 Campion) at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter Tom Cumberbatch and Oscar Wain came out strong and showed good technique on layups while Xian Lin battled brilliantly to win every rebounds in both D’s. At the Halfway stage Southam had court up and almost levelled (Southam 14-16 Campion).
After the half time interval Sam Hobson and Oscar continued the moment swing as Southam dominated the third quarter. Francis Chen got in on the scoring act with a shot from deep and an ecstatic celebration to match as Southam ahead (Southam 26-16 Campion).
The Final period was a tight nit affair as Campion fought hard to get back into the match and Xian and Callum Steward made some important interceptions and rebound to close out for a Southam 33-26 win.

On Monday afternoon a team of six Southam College Y7 & Y8 students entered the inaugural Inclusive Sportshall Athletics Championships at Campion School.
The team of Harry T, Blake C, Reuban T, Charlie H, Luke R and Cornell R had to each compete across a variety of disciplines consisting of Javelin, Speed Bounce, High Stepper, Chest Throw, Standing Long Jump and a Relay.
The whole team performed brilliantly throughout the afternoon and each contributed points towards the teams final total.
Cornell and Blake both broke the Javelin record with throws of over 28m, Harry and Charlie both jumped further than their overall height. Reuban won the High Stepper, whilst Luke anchored the team home in the Relay races.
As the results were read out at the and of the day, the Southam team had won each event meaning that the boys finished in first place. This was just reward for their efforts and fantastic team work throughout the day.
