Brisbane State High Targets Repeat as Willetton’s Shock Run Sets Up Finals Day Drama

From dominant campaigns to surprise contenders, everything now comes down to finals day at the Foot Locker Australian School Championships.

A blockbuster final day awaits at the Foot Locker Australian School Championships, with Brisbane State High chasing back-to-back titles in the women’s Championship Division and Willetton Senior High completing a stunning turnaround to reach the men’s decider.

After a dominant week, Brisbane State High booked their spot in Friday’s grand final with a convincing semi-final win over Lake Ginninderra. Barker College earned their place with an equally impressive performance against Rowville, setting up a heavyweight showdown at 12pm on Show Court.

In the men’s draw, Willetton’s fairytale run has become the story of the tournament. After opening 0–3, the Western Australian side surged into form when it mattered—toppling title favourites Rowville before eliminating Templestowe in Thursday’s semi-final. They now face Lake Ginninderra, who advanced courtesy of a high-scoring 114–91 victory over The Southport School.

The U20 Division 1 competitions will also be decided on Friday, with Newington College meeting Haileybury in the men’s final and John Paul College facing Westfields in the women’s gold-medal match.
