Girls ISAZ Basketball

On Saturday the 17^th September, 2016 ,we the Amano girls basketball team, went to Lechwe School to compete in the ISAZ basketball tournament of the Zone 1. We only played two games instead of three because Kalulushi did not bring a girls basketball team. Our first game was against Lechwe, we played well as a team, had fun and enjoyed our time playing the game and also did our best ,so we won that game 11-7.

Our second and last game was against Mpelembe. We really played extremely well and did a lot better in that game because we applied all the tactics taught to us by Mr Jarrett and the best thing was we did not give up and we also won that game 17-6. We pushed through both games and did exceptional well. A big thanks to the team, for not giving up but pushing and fighting till the end. We really improved and played well compared to the previous week and we turned our weaknesses into strengths. Some examples of these are that we had amazing lay ups, fabulous foul shots, great defence and a good sportsmanship portrayed on the day, our only weakness was not looking up before we passed, when dribbling and shooting. The woman of the match on the day was Josiah Muteb. Many thanks and appreciation to Mr Jarrett for coaching us and not giving up on us, Mr Grove and Mrs Grove, Mr and Mrs Kirk for supporting us, encouraging us to do better and helping us to learn from our mistakes but a big 'thanks' to our God for the lovely day, the games and the good health he gave to us.
