B Div'09 played their first match away against Tanglin Trust School after a long break. This is a recap of the game:

The first quarter started off evenly matched, with the end-to-end play in the first few minutes resulting in zero baskets. Gradually the physical dominance of the older opposition started to show, and due to poor boxing out, TTS pounded the boards and dominated both offensively and defensively, romping to a 17-2 lead. Fired up, we responded in the second quarter playing good defence and spreading our offense to find our main offensive threats, and caught up to 17-23 at the half. In the third, we extended our streak and even managed to lead by 2, but lost it once again due to poor boxing out. We could not catch up in the last quarter and eventually lost by 8 points.

Things to take note:
-Starting off sluggishly-we always fall behind before getting our heads into the game, and this match was no exception
-Boxing out

Despite the loss, this match has undoubtedly rallied the team together and made us hopeful.

USA's Olympic-winning was termed the "REDEEM TEAM" in the light of their "dream team" failing to capture the gold 4 years back.

We messed up our C'Div Season and it's time to rise up and prove ourselves and bring glory to the school. This is a new season, and it's time to learn from our past mistakes and put them into action.

REDREAM.
TEAM.
FIGHT.
WIN.
