Open Girls Knockout Netball

On Thursday, 9 June 12 students represented Cornerstone College in the Open Girls Knockout Netball competition. The girls were coached by me, playing back-to-back games against Heathfield, St Aloysius and Blackwood. The girls fought hard against each team, supporting and encouraging one another. Even with a few of the girls out in the second round playing Knockout Football, they were willing to give anything a go. They played in missing positions and took on new leadership roles. Unfortunately, they ended the day without a win, but this did not show the determination and effort from them all. It was a fun and enjoyable day, and a great opportunity for them all to get out on the court with new and familiar faces. Leanne Filmer Teacher

Girls Open Knockout Football

On Thursday, 9 June 20 eager Year 11 and Year 12 girls represented Cornerstone College in the Knockout Football competition against SEDA. It was a rough day for footy with the grey clouds looming closer as the game progressed however, this did not impact the enthusiasm of coaches Anthony Janus and Matthew Schirmer who were keen to see the progress the girls had made since last season. The girls knew they were in for a tough game however, this did not dishearten their positive spirit. With the rain bearing down the girls fought for every possession. Celebrations were abundant with a mark from Bridie Marshall (Year 12) taking the games ‘mark of the day’. Throughout the game all the girls performed exceptionally well under the difficult conditions although, Zara Walsh (Year 12), Demi Schwarz (Year 12) and Ava Battiston (Year 12) were named in the game’s best players. The leadership team selected were Zara Walsh (Year 12), Ava Battiston (Year 12) and Persephone Hannaford (Year 12) who all were supportive, encouraging and provided guidance for the team on and off field. Mr Anthony Janus and Mr Matthew Schirmer said they saw a significant improvement in the girls’ skill and communication throughout the game in addition to their ability to gel together since playing together last year. A huge thank you to Tiah Hough (Year 12) who was Cornerstone’s runner providing advice and guidance from the bench as well as Molly Noel (Year 12) who battered the conditions and was an excellent Goal Umpire. Another massive thank you to the coaches for yet another year and making many of the girls final knockout competition extremely memorable. Ava Battiston Team Member

Year 11 and Year 12 Football

On Tuesday, 24 May a selection of boys from Year 11 and Year 12 took on Tenison Woods College from Mount Gambier in football. While we were definitely outmatched in the height and weight department and missing many key players due to COVID-19 and injury the boys put up an incredible fight throughout the whole match. We started well in the wet being right in the game at the end of the first quarter. However, from that point on we couldn’t keep up with the slicker ball skills and we struggled to make inroads up forward. Our attack on the ball and competitiveness was outstanding, however. In the end the final score didn’t reflect the closeness of the game with Tenison Woods running out winners 11-8-74 to Cornerstone 4-6-30. Best players were Hayden Knappstein (Year 11), Riley Lucas (Year 12), Joshua Miels (Year 12) and George Pope (Year 12). Caleb Blesing Middle School Teacher

Year 9 and Year 10 Knockout Soccer

The Year 9/10 Boys Knockout Soccer assembled on a Tuesday morning to prepare for their days games. We were all a little nervous to see who would show up as a number of the team had recently been absent. Fortunately, 13 students appeared ready to get involved with the days match. Team Captain Dylan Weyland (Year 10) set the team positions and the boys warmed up. In the first game against Victor Harbor we had the upper hand but were initially slow to convert that forward pressure into goals. Once the drought was broken we regularly converted and came away with a 5 goal win. Tatachilla were a very strong and physical team and our boys worked hard to match their intensity. Toby Boekel (Year 11) in goals made some exceptional saves early in the game and kept the scores tied. As the game progressed Tatachilla’s quick attacks gave them some success with a finishing score of 3:1 their way. While we didn’t progress, it was two excellent games to watch, and the boys should be proud of their efforts. Joel Liddicoat Teacher

Year 7, 8 & 9 Knockout Football

Respect. Integrity. Humility. A few of the qualities observed in our Year 7-9 girls who represented the College in Knockout Football held on Monday, 20 June at Scotch College. For a team of mixed skill with little experience playing together, the girls showed an impressive level of ‘grit’ as they battled against teams from Blackwood High School and Scotch College. The odds, it seemed, were not in our favour with final scores as follows: Blackwood def Cornerstone − 6.14.50 - 0.0.0 Scotch def Cornerstone − 11.15.81 - 0.0.0 Coaches were impressed with how the girls maintained high spirits and encouraged each other throughout the day. A few bruises, stiff joints, and a couple of cramped muscles to nurse on the bus ride home, but nothing a frozen coke from Maccas couldn’t fix! Aidan Mitchell Middle School Teacher
