Raffles Institution vs Holy Innocents' High School (50-37)
The game
began to our disadvantage as HIHS nailed in two baskets, leading the game at
4-0. At first, we were facing difficulties in advancing the ball due to their
half court pressure. However, we fought back hard and soon caught up with them.
Our offence then went at a steady pace and we ended the 1st quarter
with a 7-7 tie.
As the 2nd
quarter began, energy filled our players and we soon picked up our rhythm. We
were successful in breaking their defence and the shots started pouring in. But
HIHS did not give up. The 2nd quarter ended with neither team being
able to pull away. But in the 3rd quarter, we were able to attack
with ease and our offence ran off like a well-oiled engine. Soon the gap was
stretching further and further as we outscored them a total of 12 points.
In the
last quarter, both teams began to slacken and the foul trouble came in. With 4
team fouls on both teams, we were both granted with many easy free throws. As
compared to previous games, our shot percentage rose and we earned most the
point scored by free throws. The game concluded with us as victors and we
currently stand with a 1-1 win loss record.
Overall,
some improvements were seen, mainly with the offence. More players were seen
attacking the basket and our offence ran off at a steady pace, unlike last time
when we tend to rush the ball under pressure. The next game would be against
Henderson. It would be important as we have to win that so that we would not we
knocked out of Round 2. It would definitely be a challenge to us but we would
keep the fighting spirit and work towards our dream of being in the Top 4.
