Headmaster’s Welcome
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.

TEAM OF THE WEEK
POINT GUARD
Fynn Bertolotti (5A)
A strong ball handler and crafty finisher, Fynn has impressed in his first season of TGS Basketball. A hard worker with great promise, we are excited to see his growth in the coming years.
SMALL FORWARD
Rupert Irwin (10B)
'Empty the Tank' is never in question when it comes to Rupert Irwin. A mainstay of this age group for some time now, he always gives his absolute all for his team. Coach Arok had no doubt when naming him 10B MVP vs. BGS.
SHOOTING GUARD
Koby Wann (11A)
Another creative ballhandler that has found paint with ease this year, 2024 has seen him move from a primary scorer to a willing and able facilitator. Koby has improved considerably in finding teammates and creates offence for the 11As.
POWER FORWARD
Harrison Castley (5B)
A genuine battler and a great team mate, Harrison has improved in leaps and bounds this season. Inside, outside, offense, defense - Harrison is a contributor across the court for our 5Bs and showed his massive upside in a tough battle vs. BGS.
CENTRE
Jonah Moore (8B)
A relative newcomer to the TGS Basketball family, Jonah has hit the ground running with some stellar form for the 8Bs. Coach Salisbury has been very impressed with his defensive ability, forming a dangerous pairing with Riley Warby. Plenty of rebounds, plenty of blocks; Jonah Moore is a nightmare for 8B offenses this year.
