The court was alive with energy as our Year 7 and 8 mixed basketball team faced off against the Year 8 team from Queensbridge in what was their very first game. Though the final score saw us down by 10 points, the match was a testament to determination, skill, and teamwork.
A Close Second Quarter
The game started with some early pressure from Queensbridge, but our team quickly found their rhythm. The second quarter was particularly thrilling as the gap narrowed, with our players matching Queensbridge basket for basket. The grit and resilience displayed during this period were remarkable and kept supporters on the edge of their seats.
Standout Performances
Several players shone brightly in this debut match:
- Shanrique was a standout star, showing impressive control, agility, and vision on the court, creating opportunities and scoring crucial points.
- Ferdinand delivered a defensive masterclass, consistently challenging the opposition and making life difficult for their key players.
The Year 7 players were equally impressive, more than holding their own against the older and more experienced Year 8 Queensbridge team. Their confidence and composure under pressure speak volumes about their potential.
A Promising Future
While this match ended in defeat, it was a fantastic learning experience and a proud moment for all involved. The teamwork, determination, and sportsmanship displayed promise a bright future for this young squad.
Well done to all our players for their effort and passion. We look forward to seeing you back on the court, stronger and ready for the next challenge!
