Sports Round Up

Basketball Heads to the City Centre

Basketball Heads to the City Centre

Yesterday, Milton Keynes College-Lions Basketball Academy played in a friendly competition against the England Under 16 team and the prestigious Barking Basketball Academy.

Hosted at Middleton Hall in the city centre, the purpose of the competition was to help the England Under 16 team gain experience of playing against tougher opposition in preparation for their international competitions. Barking isn't in any of the Elite College Basketball Leagues, so the College had never played them before, but their reputation stems from well-known coaches and their success in playing in international basketball tournaments. However, the College team dominated both of their games, beating Barking by 30 points and the England team by 20 points.

There were a couple of stand out players, Connor Washington and Cameron Bernard, who have both been offered full scholarships to colleges in America, but the team played an impressive game overall. They even got some glowing compliments from the opposition!
