Manx squad faced teams from Liverpool and Birmingham
The first ever inter-schools basketball trip to the UK took place last weekend.
Squad coach and QEII PE teacher Rebecca Dunne took the team to play against Liverpool Basketball Club's U16 team and Birmingham Elite's U18s.
The tough competition gave the Manx team a taste of the standard of play they aspire towards.
Player Peter Boussougou and Coach Dunne say they were proud of the team's performance:
