On Saturday the 30th of September, the U19 girls team played 3 games of
Basketball hosted at Amano.
Our first game was against Chengelo.
This was a team that we had mentally defeated ourselves about but we went
into the game with a positive attitude. We started the game off very well
with good defence and good teamwork. A few minutes into the first half, we
were leading with 3 points to 0. Then, we switched off. We slacked off in
defence, constantly committed fouls and missed many chances to score.
Chengelo took advantage of this and scored many baskets. So they won
that game 13 to 3.

Our second game was against Ndola Trust. We went
into this game mentally defeated by the Chengelo game. In this game we had
no teamwork. We scored a few baskets but so did Ndola. It was a tight game.
We had many chances to score but never got them in. Ndola Trust got rebounds
and lobbed them to a player they left behind. It was close. But Ndola
won that game 8 to 7.
Our third and final game was against Simba
which was to be played for fifth place. In this game, we were ready to work
for a win. We worked well together and had good defence. We dribbled well
and even managed to score a rarely seen lay-up by Natalie. And we won that
game 14 to 0.
I would like thank the team for working hard, Mr Grove
who organised the event, Mr Jarett and Mr Kapalaula for coaching us,
everyone who cheered us on, and most of all, God, for a beautiful day
and great experience.
