Basketball (F)
Basketball (F)
WIN 56-8
Hall 2 kicked off the IHG season with an impeccable start!
In the warm light of the morning sun, our basketball girls
thrashed their opponents by a gaping scoreline of 56-8. Visibly more petite in build,
the girls from Hall XIV stood little chance against our formidable players.
It was undisputable which team was dominating the match. With
their quick footwork and precise aim, our Hall 2 ladies swiftly threw the
competition far behind with an 8 point lead. The opposing team had yet to score.
The humid air hung still as one of our very own players unwittingly scored an
own goal in a bid to defend, ending Hall XIV’s drought of points.
By the time the game reached the third quarter, it was
literally raining points – on our side. Our players picked up pace and resumed
play with a vengeance. Refusing to rest on their laurels, our Hall 2 players
made stunning steals and shots that captured the spectators’ hearts. Li Ping
swallowed the competition with her countless shots through the hoop, and point
guard Faith put our opponents through a tough time as they tried to break
through our defense.
Despite our opponents getting physical and doubling or
triple-teaming our players, we easily overpowered the unmarked opposition
players.
Nearing the end of the game, Serene Goh had a fast break but
was fouled by a defender at the very end of the quarter.
Even though there were several unfortunate misses on the
free throws and the lack of rebound catches, the ladies kept their cool under the
leadership of team captain Shi Min and shot until the last whistle blew.
Overall, our spirited players were consistent in putting up a strong defense and displayed mettle and sheer grit. They overpowered the competition and breezed through to the next stage.
Hall 2 is beyond proud of our fighters and we look forward
to you ladies devouring the next group of opponents.
