Champion Gooners, how does it feel to win? “Erm, heh.. Nah, I’d win,” said Sean Lee. Up until the half, it was a close game, but bagless winners unite!
Every member of the Dalat team played to secure the victory, the days were long but we were fit.
“I think the tournament was a great success because of the way each player on the team fought for each other. Rebounds, points, and steals were for the team and not for the individual player’s benefit," said Mr. Van. The coaches felt the victory in reach, so the players played while scratched and hit.
Every team played long and hard to show they were strong, and crowds were created from all teams to make the experience belong. When scores were close, players were worried, and everyone felt the intensity. To pull away from a close game and to feel relief or despair. Each game won was evidence of their tenacity.
Between games, you watched other teams play, were nervous to play the next game or just tired and wanted to rest. Eating before the championship game was nearing and everyone wanted to play their best. We played these games before.. So adaptation was key for both teams.
The championship game had the opponents fired up, they played their hearts out along with ours, matching our points back to back. The coaches were worried as we were not able to pull away. Mr. Consistency came to help us out with strong defense and tough shots and rebounds to break away. Hyping each member up so they have the confidence to keep going, as confidence is key as they say. Seeing the younger boys act tough after they get fouled, fueled the drive in the rest of us.
The bagless boys united football club has been victorious!
