U19 Girls Basketball

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.
