Warm Ups are over

By Isaac Lee

On the fifth of February, Zestyfeatherbois, the Dalat varsity boys' basketball team, came back to Dalat with bronze medals. The journey to third was a rollercoaster ride. Coming in second last in the pool play and getting knocked into the loser's bracket on the first day of elimination plays, the boys had to overcome many hardships, but beating Morrison in the fist looser's bracket game gave the guys the push they needed to win three games in a row to get third, a job well done indeed. 

With Basketball ACSC ending, the rise of DBA shall take over Dalat. DBA, also known as Dalat Basketball Association, was created by Adian Leong, Pranjal Malik, and Isaac Lee in 10th grade. Having nothing to do during lunch, the trio made the DBA league to spice up lunchtime for everyone in the grade. After going through many changes, DBA is going through its final season. Each senior varsity player is assigned their team, and with Basketball ACSC over, many of them are excited to try and get first place in the DBA. 

Josia De Jagar, a varsity basketball team captain, states, "Warm-ups are over; let the real games begin." 

Showing the value of the DBA in the culture of the class of 2024. Although many players are excited, some have to face harsh reality and miss the final season of DBA. Amos Koay suffered a knee injury during ACSC, not allowing him to run at all; with terrible news also comes exciting news. Due to a missing captain, the DBA will try to sign an international, a player from a different grade, to try and replace our precious captain. With the potential new singing, the DBA culture could be passed down in Dalat's history. It can also be an exciting opportunity for seniors to bond with underclassmen or allow underclassmen to learn from seniors to further improve their skills. 

With the DBA season starting, come watch and support your favorite team during lunchtime; there are games daily. Come find out who the best team in DBA is.
