Basketball (R1)

On Saturday [19th September] we went to Lechwe to play our first set of games for the zone. Kalulushi did not have a girls basketball team, so we only played with Lechwe and Mpelembe. Our first game was against Lechwe. We were nervous as a team considering that it was our first game of the season. We had several new team members on the team. I was really impressed with Grace’s performance because she is a new student, but she blended in well with other team mates. Her performance in the game was pretty good too. We played well in the first game and won it 13-4.

Our second game was against Mpelembe. We were nervous about that game. It was also the last game we were scheduled to play. It was hot, and we were tired from all the other games, but we still gave it all we had and we also won that game 14-4. Kathleen scored most of the baskets during that game. Tina played really well during the game, it was nice hearing her cheer up the team and be loud. Overall we came out 1st in basketball and played well as a team, considering that they were our first games of the season.

[With 2 wins Amano came top of the group. Mr Grove]
