Noel Baker Win U19 Premier School’s Title

By Sam Neter on March 28, 2012

Noel Baker School/Derby Trailblazers were crowned the Under-19 Premier Schools champions today after beating defending champions Loreto 6th Form College 73-67 in the final at TCAT, Telford.

Rema Lascelles (1992 born) was named MVP, flirting with a quadruple double in the final as he dropped 20 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists and 9 steals. It was a fine end to the season for Noel Baker, who are linked with Division 1 side Derby Trailblazers, as they went 6-0 through the regular season to finish with a perfect record.

Derby Trailblazer Academy head coach Matt Shaw was extremely pleased to win the title:

“The two games were probably the best we have played all year which is pleasing as the level
of competition was extremely high. It was a true team effort with some big performances from a number
of players in the final. I’d like to thank Noel Baker School who have invested into the academy and allow
the players academic flexibility to attend practices and games. The academy has only been in operation
for two years so it’s a huge achievement to win a National Schools championship”.

Copleston High School took third place in the country after beating Barking Abbey 84-75 in the third place playoff.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
