The win holds extra meaning for the Edward crew, as the trophy is named after one of their long-serving and well-loved staff members, George Day.
The tournament, organised by South Public School staff member Luke Moodie, worked as an opportunity for local primary schools to get together and play in a tournament.
It was named after Day in honour of his contribution to both education and basketball within the community.
On the day of the tournament, each school had three teams compete - a boys team, a girls team and a mixed team.
Following the completion of the tournament, scores from the boys and girls sides were tallied to record a school total.
Edward finished with a combined score of 41, with its boys team getting 17 points and the girls earning 24.
Second was St Michael’s School with 20. The boys registered a score of 13 and the girls got seven.
South’s boys team earned six points and the girls had five, for a total of 11.
A Most Valuable Player (MVP) for each school was named from each of their teams, as follows:
Edward Public School: Boys - Reece King; Girls - Meg Meharry; Mixed (social) - Aayliah Clancy.
St Michael’s: Boys - Charlie Murray; Girls - Indi Raper; Mixed - Mitchell Thompson.
