Auckland House School for Boys has added another feather to its cap, securing third place in the prestigious North Zone CISCE Basketball Tournament 2025, held at Trinity School, Hoshiarpur, Punjab.
The Under-19 team delivered a stellar performance, claiming the bronze medal after a decisive win over Gurdaspur in the third-place match. Their journey included a dominant 47–23 quarterfinal victory against Chandigarh before falling to a tough Delhi NCR team in the semifinals.
The Under-17 team also put on a commendable show. They reached the semifinals after defeating hosts Hoshiarpur but narrowly lost to Ludhiana by just one point (39–38), missing a spot in the final.
Adding to the school’s achievement, three players – Arhan Shah, Sushant Mukkar, and Samarth Thakur (standby) – have been selected to represent North Zone Himachal Pradesh at the National CISCE Basketball Championship.
Under the guidance of Head Coach Navneet Thakur, the teams’ performance highlights the school’s growing reputation in sports. Principal Reuben John praised the players, noting that their success reflects Auckland House’s commitment to all-round excellence.
This strong showing further cements Auckland House School for Boys as a rising powerhouse in youth basketball and a nurturing ground for future sports talent.
