After playing several one day tournaments up and down the Californian coast; Pacific Palisades, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa and training at Venice Beach. They were also fortunate enough to have a beneficial training day with director of coaching at USA Volleyball Tyler Hildebrand.
Karate
Isabellah McGregor is among the best in her sport.
The Year 11 Mount Maunganui College student represented the schoo at the Karate New Zealand National championships and the Karate New Zealand National Secondary Schools Championships in Auckland earlier this month andmedalled at both events.
The first was the New Zealand champs on July 13, when Isabellah earned silver in the female cadet (14/15y ears), and the 54kg Kumite (fighting) beating out four of the best in New Zealand.
At the secondary schools champs on July 14, Isabellah became the Bay of Plenty's first Secondary Schools National Champion. In this competition, Isabellah beat five top competitors to bring a well deserved gold back to Mount college - and even more impressive is that she has come back from 2018 season-ending injury.
Football
The Mount Maunganui College 1st XI have produced a much improved performance in their game against Katikati College.
Stefan Heuberger played a good game, with Jordan York pulling the strings in midfield. The Katikati goalkeeper did well to keep the game scoreless in the first half but second half strikes from Clay Morton and Colby Brennan meant Mount Maunganui were able to secure a well deserved victory.
