The Undefeated Eagles

JV Volleyball Tournament

It’s a Friday morning, the JV boys & girls are excited and nervous to participate in a tournament hosted by Oasis in KL. They entered the school at roughly 2pm after leaving at 8:30am and got prepared for their brief on the tournament. They went to the gym to warm up and prepare for the big upcoming tournament and to cool off from the long trip. 

The boys' first game was a rough one. They were still warming up after a long drive, and all felt a little tired and stiff. However, they still put in their best effort and came together to snatch the win in their first game. Once they won the first game, there was no stopping them.

The Dalat JV boys were a powerhouse that dominated everyone else and that couldn't be stopped by anyone, not even by Piza, a formidable team that was expected to go far in the tournament.

At the hotel, the guys all had fun celebrating their victories on the first day. They had some team bonding time with their teammates to get closer with each other and build some chemistry. The following morning they had a buffet-style breakfast that served western food, which was a nice surprise for a lot of the boys and girls.

After breakfast, the boys got ready and hopped on the bus back to Oasis where they got mentally prepared for their first game. Their first game back was a win, which hyped everyone up because they were on little sleep and not warmed up yet. They then followed that game up with another win, then they moved on and won the finals, going undefeated.

Matthias Seevaratnam (11), a valuable asset to the JV boys said, “The team showed great spirit and maintained joyfulness and composure when we were down and that helped us to comeback, get the victory and take home the crown." This was the reason they were able to steamroll through everyone, even though they were doubted for being one of the shortest teams at the tournament.
