In recognition of their standout individual performances, Raynor and Simmons were both named finals MVP for their respective teams.
The Boys' final proved to be a classic encounter, with Warwick Academy staging a late surge to snatch a 35–30 victory over Saltus Grammar School. Warwick’s comeback was orchestrated by Caleb Mello and Dominic Slater, who both recorded seven points.
