RI 54 - 49 Catholic High

A great win for us.

In the first quarter, the opponents were blazing hot, hitting almost all of their shots. We were down 15 points at the end of the first quarter.

Although onlookers would have thought that the game was over and Catholic High had won the game, we never gave up. In the second quarter, we outscored the opponents by 7 points, closing the lead to 8 points. However, one of our starters, Chun Cheong, had a very unfortunate fall and sprained his ankle. He was out the entire game, and had to pay the doctor a visit after the match.

Nevertheless, we stuck to our game plan; To get all our defensive rebounds and prevent any under-basket shots from their center. In the middle of the fourth quarter, we tied the game and we never looked back, taking the lead and sealing our victory.

This was indeed a great game for us. It shows the RI basketball spirit of never giving up and fighting to the end. We definitely have to ride this positive momentum and win our next game against Pei Cai Secondary on Friday.
