It Happened Before.

Hi C boys, I just want to have my say before you all go into your game. (please read coach's post, below mine)

2004: When I was Secondary 1, Raffles Basketball C division was nothing, no one expected us to make the nationals, or even the Top 4.

Nationals 1st Round: We had to beat either Rivervalley (Zone 2nd) or Woodlands Ring (Zone 1st) to qualify. We beat WRS by 8 points and lost to Rivervalley by 7. But we still qualified on a +1 point difference, we beat WRS and erased the 21 points pre-season thrashing by them.

Nationals 2nd Round: We had to beat either Maris Stella (Zone 3rd but expected to beat us) or Unity to qualify. We lost to Unity by 21 points. We entered the Maris game as underdogs. We were down by 10 at one point but we blitzed past them and won by 16. We qualified.

Nationals 3rd/4th placing: We lost to CCHSM in the semis by 7. So we played Woodgrove (Zone 2nd, and we were expected to lose). We stopped their superstar and we won by about 10+ points. So 2004 concluded RI C'div 2004: Zone 3rd, Nationals 3rd.

That year, our circumstance was even more impossible that what you'll are at now. So, its definitely possible.

2006:

Zone 2nd Round: We lost to Queensway by 1 unexpectedly, unplanned, unnecessarily. We dug ourselves into a hole and we had to find a way out by beating Newtown and Queenstown, both whom were seemingly good enough to beat us well. We beat Newtown by 17 we beat the Queenstown team (that we lost to by 20, 10, 5 points during a friendly, zone 1st round match, and semi final match respectively in 2004 during C Division) 21 points. We qualified.

So its your turn guys. Its never impossible. We did it, we weren't supposed to, but we intended to. We don't need you to emulate any success. Write your own story and beat Jurong on Monday. If its anything we have that the others don't have, its Dream Team FIGHT Win.
