What Does Gryphons Cup Mean to Me?

Interview Reports by Kevin Khoo, Zaki & Keong Jae

Darren  Chua (RI 2001)                                                   

Position: Point guard

Best Achievement: B Div Quarterfinals

Most Memorable RI Basketball Experience: When we finally triumphed over a “champion” team and previous conquerors (Lesson Learnt: Perseverance can make the difference)

G-Cup: “NOSTALGIC" -  rare opportunity to get together with his friends and play basketball, just like the old times.

Yang Jun Rong (RI 2003)

Position: Guard

Best Achievement: C Div National Champions, B Div National Quarterfinals

Most Memorable Game: Close win against Gan Eng Seng School despite leading for first three quarters.

Gryphon Cup: A SPECIAL event to meet up with his batch to play ball, something that they weren’t usually able to do due to other commitments. 

Matthew Chuah (RI 2001)

Position: Guard

Best Achievement: C Division Nationals Runner-up, B Div Quarterfinalists

Most memorable Game: South Zone 2^nd Round vs West Lake Secondary School – very different and organised opponents despite 2 previous wins. They had already played against this school 2 times during the tournament. (Lesson Learnt: All matches are a learning process -- the opponents learn from you, and you in return, learn from them.)

Gryphons Cup: A special chance to play COMPETITIVE basketball despite the age & commitment limitations.

Raffles 31-48 Dunman Sec.

20th July, 4pm, at Clementi Sports Hall.

It was a do-or-die match today. Even though we 'died', our spirits are still high as we exit from the tournament.

We knew that it was going to be a tough match today. However, we told ourselves that even if we were going to lose, we would give it our all and would not go down without a fight.

We knew that Dunman High had a good centre. Thus, we wanted to deny him the ball and to box him out on rebounds as much as possible. We also knew that they had a good shooter, and so we wanted to have a hand on him to prevent him from taking uncontested shots.

We played good defense on their centre. However, it was not good enough and he still managed to get a hand full of offensive rebounds which he converted on most occasions.

We prevented their shooter from getting uncontested shots. Nevertheless, he still managed to score points from fast breaks and offensive rebound and put-back.

Overall, our defense was not as good as it was in previous games.

On offense, we scored our points mostly from fast breaks. We still ran our set plays and managed to hit three 3-pointers.

We fought hard for today's match but Dunman Sec was the better team.

Even though we are eliminated from the competition, we have gained much throughout this season. We have definitely matured as a team, became more bonded as a team, and last but not least, improved tremendously as a team. We are pleased to have made it this far, and we know that all our hard work have not gone to waste.


Scoring by quarters:
1st Quarter -- DS 15 RI 6
2nd Quarter -- DS 14 RI 7
3rd Quarter -- DS 8 RI 8
4th Quarter -- DS 11 RI 10
