The basketball team secured a solid fourth-place finish in WK IV

With a mixed team, the students from Steinmühle competed in the Class IV basketball tournament. Coach Marc Bepperling reports:

We had some minor difficulties at the start of the course, but managed to improve slightly on last year’s time, finishing with a total time of 7:50:53. In the group stage, we now had to play four games. Our goal was to advance from the group stage in second place.

After a strong start against Philippinum II (23–11), we also won our second game against Waldorfschule II by a score of 23–10. As expected, we then lost to the Elisabethschule I team by a score of 6–45. In the final match against Amöneburg, it was a close one, but we managed to prevail as planned with a score of 23–15. We then faced the top team from the other group and lost 16–51.

Unfortunately, the 3rd/4th place game didn’t go ideally for us either. Despite trailing by 6 points, we were at least able to finish the competition with a score of 13–21 in the final game. Overall, this meant a solid 4th place finish among the 9 participating schools. Our goals for next year are ambitious, since we’ll be able to field the exact same team again. We’d like to thank all the participants and look forward to what’s next.
