Over the weekend of January 26, the Middle School Island Shootout was held at Dalat. Basketball teams around the island and Kuala Lumpur competed in hopes of securing the win.
In basketball, where every pass and shot is vital to their wins or losses, playing Friday and Saturday, battling it out, Dalat came through at the end, winning it all. With eight teams in the tournament, both the boys and girls teams were smiling brightly after earning gold medals.
The crowd was electric, chanting and cheering, pushing both teams to do their best. The players were gaining momentum and motivation, allowing for an intense game. Both the boys' and girls' finals were against ISKL, creating an intense atmosphere.
Tony Boyd, assistant coach to the Middle School Boys' basketball team, says, “My favourite was winning in double overtime the first time we played ISKL! The boys played hard and better than I have ever seen up to this point, all of them from the 7th graders up to the starters. So proud of how each one has improved and how they work together. The environment for both ISKL games was electric. I appreciate having our fans going nuts, cheering, and supporting the home team. One thing about sports is that the team with the momentum almost always wins, and the power of cheering your team on cannot be underestimated!” Being there with his team from the sidelines, he supported them throughout the weekend.
Both teams are excited at the prospect of future games, eager to learn from their mistakes and grow stronger together. They are ready to use all of their skill in their next tournament on February 16 in KL.
