U-14 RI 77-23 Serangoon Garden Secondary

At the back of a bad performance against Cat High, we bounced back today, getting the win. Before the match, we were briefed by coach on how to defend against no.9, who proved to be their star player. We wanted to make sure that we did not make the same mistakes as the previous game, especially in our communication and defense. 

Today, we showed up ready to play. Right from the start, we talked on defense, telling our team-mates whenever no.9 did a cut. This worked pretty well for us in the first half, where no.9 was limited to only 2 points. However, when we switched to a zone, things did not go according to plan. We did not pick no.9 up fast enough, without much help side defense. Once or twice, we were left with little or no defense on him, allowing him to drive easily, allowing him to score all his team's points in the 3rd quarter (10). 

On offense however, we recognized that they were playing a 2-3 zone, this taking quite a few outside shots, which went pretty well for the our team. All in all, this was a pretty good game for our team. 

Definitely, the next 2 games will be difficult, but we will stay focused and give it our very best.

We're nearing the checkpoint
