Amano Christian School U19 girls basketball team went to
play zone 1 games at Lechwe. The tournament was hosted by Mpelembe. We were
supposed to play multiple games but most schools were absent due to various
reasons. We then had a friendly and this meant we had only one game against
Lechwe, so this game was split into 4 quarters because it was our only game. We
played well in the first two quarters and were in the lead and also scored many
goals .We had a good team and a few new players , the Lechwe team had a whole
new team so we didn’t know how good they were but we pushed through. We had many
opportunities on the goal but most of them were bouncing back and we were not
ready for rebounds .we were in the last minutes and Lechwe had caught up to us
and scored their winning goal in the last few minutes and won the game 18-16. I
could see that the team was tired but I won’t use that as an excuse ,but I can
say although they were exhausted but they were still pursuing and they had a lot
of fun.
I was really happy that everyone in the team tried their best
and contributed something to the team. There was only one new player who was
Rosemary Namakwi and she scored two baskets and Diana Shakwelele was recognised
as the woman of the match.
We faced some challenges as a team and these are the ones
that stood out :
·
We had team work but we believe it could have been better
and stronger .
·
Our defence needs to become stronger and
better.
·
We should practice on our layups ,3 pointers and foul
shots
·
Communication
·
Always being alert and looking up before passing the
ball
·
Trying and willing to play in new and different
positions
·
Defending the ball when dribbling and looking
up
Our strengths were:
·
Getting the ball from the other team
·
Having fun
·
Pursing even when exhausted
·
Not giving up
