BEERWAH State High School is celebrating after two teams made the Oztag finals at the Queensland School Championships.
It is the first time a Beerwah High team has made the final after four previous attempts.
The Year 12 Mixed Team reached the quarters, while the Year 7 Boys team made the semis. Eight teams from Beerwah High attended the championships, with more than 300 teams from years 7 to 12 participating over three days (July 26-28).
Beerwah High sports teacher, Emma Liesegang, said it was the most teams the school had ever entered.
“I had no voice on Sunday, this is our fifth tournament and the first time we’ve had teams make finals and really win a lot of games,” she said.
“Our little school playing against big Oztag schools, honestly I have no words of how proud I am, it was so good.” The year 12 team went undefeated in the competition’s regular rounds.
