As the second sports season ends, both varsity basketball teams are in preparation for traveling to their respective countries for ACSC. The girls will travel to ICS-HK in Hong Kong on Tuesday, February 20. The guys will travel to Sekolah Pelita Harapan in Jarkata, Indonesia. Both teams are looking to improve from their already stellar performances last year. The girls traveled to ICS-BK in Bangkok, where they fought to an impressive second place. The boys achieved the same milestone in Taiwan at Morrison Academy. Both of those results were huge catalysts in Dalat becoming the ACSC program of the year in 2023. An achievement helped by amazing performances in track, volleyball, and soccer.
The teams now look forward to the tournament in two weeks. In talking about how they are preparing, Popi Grous (12) said, “Practice. We have been practicing hard to compete in the tournament. Mr. Wong is doing a great job of preparing us and maintaining the chemistry between us.”
Chemistry is extremely important; wins from both teams in the coming weeks will help cement a good sense of togetherness. The boys beat the Chameleons 86-66 earlier in the week. A commanding win which has helped to build confidence as the boys look towards Indonesia.
ACSC will end the season for both teams when it is over. With successful seasons for both boys and girls so far, each team has a chance to write history for Dalat. With Dalat not winning a basketball ACSC before, each team will fight to become the first basketball team to bring it back to Penang. The girls have the opportunity to become the first female team in Dalat history to win an ACSC tournament. Everyone at Dalat is looking forward to the tournaments and watching the livestreams of our teams. Go Eagles!
