The Wanganui Intermediate School boys basketball team has had a promising debut at the NZCT Aims Games in Tauranga with two wins and a narrow loss on day one on Monday.
Unbeaten in two seasons in the Wanganui intermediate competition, WIS continued its winning form thrashing Kohimarama School from Auckland 22-14.
WIS deputy principal Lisa Clark, who is accompanying the team, said the first game was a very physical encounter the boys handled well to come away with a solid victory.
The second match on day one against Monrad Intermediate from Palmerston North was also physical and despite keeping themselves in touch with the opposition, the WIS lads went down 28-27.
The final game on Monday against Rotorua's Mokoia Intermediate was pretty much one-way traffic with WIS drawing away for a 42-23 win.
