U16 Youth Cup Gryphons 54 - 45 Henderson

Going into our final round one game, we were down to 8 available players as 4 of the guys were overseas with their families, and Coach Danny Chua Zhen Guang was responsible for our win in this one. 

After a double postponement of this game, we finally managed to have the opportunity of playing it this afternoon. We started off the game very lethargically, and failed to prevent henderson's outside shots from hitting. 20 of henderson's 26 first half points were from outside shooting, and as demoralising as it was, the team didn't give in. We entered the halftime break down by 11 points, a familiar situation we've faced throughout all 3 first round games. However, the fact that we were trailing and risked losing the game was the catalyst for a spirited second half comeback, and we pulled off another 20 point turnaround to maintain a steady 10 point lead till the final whistle.

I am still unsure of how the second round groups are drawn and when the games will be played, my apologies, will keep everyone posted ASAP though.
