POTSPEL | POOL

Marnitz Hawkes, Graad 10A1, het onlangs deelgeneem aan die Wêreld Kampioenskappe vir Potspel. Marnitz se besoek aan Puerto Rico vanaf 18 tot 21 November het so verloop:

In sy eerste rondte het hy verloor teen Duitse speler, Felix Vogel.
Marnitz wen sy tweede rondte 7- 4 teen Kim Minjun van Korea.
Ongelukkig verloor hy dan sy derde en laaste wedstryd teen Kyle Yi van die Verenigde State van Amerika.

Marnitz, ongeag van jou prestasies, die Brakkies is trots op jou.

Vir diegene wat eendag hoop om ook, soos Marnitz, uit te blink:
"Werk hard en moet nie opgee wanneer die struikelblokke te veel raak nie." -Marnitz Hawkes.

RUGBY

Bronstin Agulhas: First team flyhalf, represented the Western Province Academy at Cravenweek this year, and has recently signed with the Bulls.

He's had to face many obstacles like injuries, and keeping a positive mindset when things don't go as planned - but this is an oppurtunity the Brakkies XV Vice Captain will grab with both hands. He wishes to later "move up in the ranks and to hopefully one day become a Springbok". Bronstin encourages all upcoming players to keep working on their dreams and to focus on their goals in life. "Don't get distracted by the side shows."

Congratulations on signing with the Bulls, Bronstin. We look forward to seeing you on the field in 2023.
