Culloden Academy have won the Scottish Basketball Under-15 Cup after they defeated James Gillespie’s High School 83-40 in the final.
Culloden started the game with great intensity, quickly taking control of the scoreboard.
Their offense was led by accurate shooting and smart passing, allowing them to build an early lead.
James Gillespie's struggled to keep up with the pace of the game, allowing Culloden to have a convincing lead by half time.
Jessica Gibson demonstrated exceptional defence throughout the game, contributing with steals and blocks, helping to disrupt James Gillespie’s offence.
