ISIBL U-16 RI 60-38 CIS
We played the Canadian International School on the 6th of November at 4.30pm. We played the match without the secondary 3s, who were at OIP training. We made a couple of changes in the team, and we came into the game with a different mentality altogether. We started the match well, getting fast break opportunities as well as key offensive rebounds to finish the 1st quarter with a 12-6 lead. We broke down in the 2nd quarter, letting the other team get on a run, ending the 1st half with a 18-17 lead. We were unable to stop their star players, and we were unable to break their half court trap, leading in too many turnovers which resulted in easy baskets. In the 3rd quarter, we fought back and pulled away with impressive 3 pointers and 3 point plays by Brendan and Alex. We gathered momentum and finished the 3rd quarter with a 33-25 lead and the match 60-38.
ISIBL U-16 RI 34-32 GESS
The match was played on the 4th November, at around 4pm. The team started off slowly, with only Alex and Brendan scoring to hand the team a 7-6 lead at the end of the first quarter. However, everything went wrong in the 2nd quarter, which was interrupted by a short rain. We could only muster 3 points in the 2nd quarter, off a Brendan 3 pointer. We ended the 1st half down 15-10. Thankfully, we pulled it together in the 3rd quarter, with Alex hitting 2 3 pointers to allow us to tie the match 21-21. In the last quarter, we were unable to stop their star player:Chris Bader, who scored 6 straight points. We responded with 3s from Alex and Joel, before we slowly pulled away, finishing with a 3 pointer by Joel. We kept possession for the last minute, and ending the match with a slim 2 point lead.
The MVP candidates are:
GESS: Chris Bader
RI: Brendan Sim, Alexander Loh

ISIBL U-20
Final Score: RI 78-54 AIS
RI played their last match before some of the guys left for OIP at Waseda Shibuya High School. The game started off well, with good defense and quick transition baskets. But into the 2nd quarter, we started to lax and found ourselves on the receiving end of a run. Our pressbreaker didn't work initially and Coach called a timeout for us to regain our composure. Late in the game, we started pressing and managed to come up with many steals. Many layups and underbaskets were missed in the game, but all in all, those going overseas leave with a sweet taste of victory--78-54.

Final Score: RI 38-32 CIS
RI played against the Canadian International School whose team comprised mainly of Koreans! Poor defence in the first quarter led to us being slightly behind but we fought back with great intensity in the second and third quarters with a man to man defense. We eventually won the game 38-32!

RI-Tanglin Trust School
22/10/08
ISIBL U-20
Final Score: RI 39-47 TTS
1st Quarter: 2-17
2nd Quarter: 15-6
3rd Quarter: 12-9
4th Quarter: 10-15
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.
