Senior A Boys Basketball The Senior A Boys Basketball team had a successful season. Going up a grade from 2014, the team was narrowly beaten in the Hawkes Bay Division 1A final. The Wairarapa College exchange proved to be successful again this season, with HNHS triumphant 73-41. The team played their best game of the season against Tawa, after being convincingly beaten in 2014, the team fought hard to be tied on points after three quarter time, but lost in the end to a very good Tawa team. Ross Karauria top scored for the season with 35 points against NBHS B team, including nine x 3 pointers. Andrew Wilson was consistently one of the top point scorers each week, leading the team and directing play from center. Ezra Blaxland improved during the season and provided a solid scoring option close to the basket. All team members contributed well on pressurizing the opposition on defensive presses.
