We will rock you!

Universal studios was the last stage of the tour before we left for the airport, and the boys found it enjoyable. The Mummy Returns ride was pretty cool, and Jurasic Park Drop left some adults teary, however the highlight for many was the tour of the studios. We passed shows currently being filmed, such as Crossing Jordan and Desperate Housewives as well as seing where many movies were made. After having to take our shoes off (and as a result put up with an interesing aroma) at the airport security section, we were left with some time to relax, enjoy an undercooked hot dog, and play grid iron with a nurf ball. We were finally heading home after a wirlwind tour.
I would like to thank everybody who helped us get over to the USA and to the boys on their superb behaviour all tour and for being fine embassadors for the college. Best wishes for the future. There may be another tour left in us after all!

Dunked on!

After some rest and relaxation involving Disney and California land - the boys were faced with a tough opposition in St Bernards. These boys were well skilled and we were outplayed in both JV and V games. Although Haydn and some other boys felt the effects of some dodgy lunch, the boys soldiered on in their last game. The highlight of the varsity game was the alley oop dunk (lucky Matt Crackel got out the way!) the weakside dunk, and the tip jam that was ruled out. The St Bernard boys joined our guys for a great feast (including fried chicken - which was sensational!). Trian Iliadis tried his best to enter in the makeover competition, requiring 4 stitches to his cheek (being rewarded for blocking a shot and coming down on an elbow). The county hospital was an interesting experience (ask Myles what happens if you change the TV channel), and by the end of the evening we were one day closer to home.

You stay classy San Diego

After a few days in Phoenix - mainly shopping at the local mall, we travelled to beautiful San Diego. A very classy place to live, San Diego is similar to Perth. The zoo was fantastic and the boys enjoyed a nice harbourside meal. The boys picked up victories v High Tech High and Gompers Secondary. The last game would be vs St Bernards.
