Basketball (F)

WIN 56-8

Hall 2 kicked off the IHG season with an impeccable start!

In the warm light of the morning sun, our basketball girls thrashed their opponents by a gaping scoreline of 56-8. Visibly more petite in build, the girls from Hall XIV stood little chance against our formidable players.

It was undisputable which team was dominating the match. With their quick footwork and precise aim, our Hall 2 ladies swiftly threw the competition far behind with an 8 point lead. The opposing team had yet to score. The humid air hung still as one of our very own players unwittingly scored an own goal in a bid to defend, ending Hall XIV’s drought of points.

By the time the game reached the third quarter, it was literally raining points – on our side. Our players picked up pace and resumed play with a vengeance. Refusing to rest on their laurels, our Hall 2 players made stunning steals and shots that captured the spectators’ hearts. Li Ping swallowed the competition with her countless shots through the hoop, and point guard Faith put our opponents through a tough time as they tried to break through our defense.

Despite our opponents getting physical and doubling or triple-teaming our players, we easily overpowered the unmarked opposition players.

Nearing the end of the game, Serene Goh had a fast break but was fouled by a defender at the very end of the quarter.

Even though there were several unfortunate misses on the free throws and the lack of rebound catches, the ladies kept their cool under the leadership of team captain Shi Min and shot until the last whistle blew.

Overall, our spirited players were consistent in putting up a strong defense and displayed mettle and sheer grit. They overpowered the competition and breezed through to the next stage.

Hall 2 is beyond proud of our fighters and we look forward to you ladies devouring the next group of opponents.
