Dr John C. Kinniburgh
I would like to extend a warm welcome to all family and friends who are visiting Toowoomba Grammar School for today’s sporting fixtures.
May I take this opportunity to acknowledge Toowoomba Grammar School’s proud 149 year history as a member of the Great Public Schools’ (GPS) Association of Queensland competition. The Association offers the nine-member schools the highest level of school-boy sporting competition and today we welcome competitors and spectators to what I am sure will be a day of excellent competition, good teamwork and sportsmanship. I trust you will have an enjoyable day.

TEAM OF THE WEEK
POINT GUARD
Lincoln Quinlan (9A)
You'll struggle to find a player that goes harder on a Saturday than Lincoln Quinlan. An evolving leader and vocal presence , Linc has been working hard to round out his game on both ends of the floor. His consistency earns him TOTW honours in Round 7.
SMALL FORWARD
Param Singh (10B)
Param has been plying his trade quietly in the TGS Basketball Club program this year, reaping the dividends toward the back end of the GPS season. A team-first player who does all the hard work, Param is a great contributor to our 10B team.
SHOOTING GUARD
Fletcher Maddox (7B)
A fierce competitor on both sides of the ball, Fletcher is thriving in his first season in TGS Blue and Gold. His tireless work ethic and commitment have seen his performances build into a selection for the 7As to finish the season!
POWER FORWARD
Wilson Hanmore (9B)
Wilson Hanmore is one of the unsung heroes and good guys of the program. Always 'emptying the tank' and putting his 'family first' he has grown in leaps and bounds over the season and proved that in Round 7. Plenty of untapped potential ahead, Wilson is one to watch.
CENTRE
Charlie Peart (6B)
A season of steady development culiminated last week in "Pearty's" MVP performance for the 6B. A true battler of the program, Charlie Peart is well-liked by teammates and coaches alike. His strength and toughness on the boards has grown with every game and his perimeter skillset continues to evolve. Keep up the great work, Pearty!
