The Future of Dalat's Varsity Boys Basketball

By

By Ting Yi Huang

“What do you think of the future of Dalat’s 2024 varsity basketball team, and how do you think this team will perform in ACSC?” Sean Lee (12) is asked as the first few weeks of basketball season have just started. Coming off of an amazing season of volleyball with Dalat’s first-ever gold in ACSC, Sean Lee played in 30 games of volleyball, 23 won and 7 lost. 

“I think it’s pretty decent. Even though there were some unexpected players, I think we have a pretty good team this year. And looking based off the teams last year, I think we are one of the top contenders for 1st place in ACSC.” 

Is this an accurate assumption, or is Sean in over his head due to the great win of Dalat’s varsity volleyball?

With other players in the basketball team coming hot from the volleyball and their championship, such as Jaeyoun Kim (12), this team is pumped to win yet another gold for Dalat, in basketball. As the basketball team secured 3rd place last season, there are promising results for ACSC, as there have been people on the team last year practicing from then till now. 

However, previous seniors who were very important to the team have graduated, leaving this year's players to take up more responsibilities. Even so, Sean believes that even with newly added players onto the team, they will surprise everyone with their talents, as well as add more chemistry to the team.

The team already has had 2 weeks of practice, and they are already expecting an upcoming game this week. With much anticipation to how this newly formed team will perform, we as Dalat can only hope that this season will start off strong, with as minimal injuries as possible to insure good training sessions and even better games.

DINGBAT DALAT STUDENT SPENDS PRECIOUS TIME CONJURING UP SELF-REFERENTIAL SENIOR SCRIBBLE RATHER THAN GATHERING LEGITIMATE WORK

By Anonymous
Yusoof Monawvil PENANG, MA - As the deadline drew near and the stars aligned in the night sky above the majestic waters of the Strait of Malacca, one particular Dalat student—Yusoof Monawvil (12), despite a plethora of school events to select and report on—opted instead to spend a remarkably well-wasted 24 minutes staring at a blank Google Docs page, fruitlessly drawing up and shooting down brainstormed ideas.  In a moment of sheer and undeniable epiphany, Monawvil deemed it only fitting to self-referentially satirize his own ingrained incompetence and dingbattery. Commenting on the flash of insight, Monawvil quoted himself, saying: “It all just kinda made sense. I went on DISCourse to look at the little rubric thing Ms. Grad and Mr. Hieber posted, and I checked if I was following all of the guidelines... And I technically am/was; [N]ot like there’s any specific direktive [sic] prohibiting self-quoting.”  In a turn of events, Monawvil did come to find his self-quoting en...

"Spikeball, Swimming, and Sickness: The Remnants of Senior Sneak" by Ee Rynn Ong

“Guys, I think we’re here,” said Jonathan Ooi (12) as he peeked out of the lorry to catch the first glimpse of our Senior Sneak location. This year’s Senior Sneak was held in Nomad Adventure, Gopeng, and the organizers planned many activities for the Class of 2026, ranging from traditional games like congkak and batu seremban to adrenaline-pumping ropes courses and whitewater rafting. These scheduled activities proved to be some of the best highlights of the trip, but top of that, the seniors were also given some daily free time to chat, explore, and relax. Josh Stevens (12) had come prepared for this with two spikeball nets, which immediately attracted attention from people eager to spend time in the outdoor sun. The next five days saw spikeball veterans and newcomers alike, spending their precious one and a half hours daily around the unassuming circular net, smashing the yellow ball in hopes of a victory.  Caleb Evans (12) was one of the newbies to spikeball, learning how the g...

“I Miss Her” by Nikhil Pillay

By
While most people had a fun week for mid-semester break, whether it was spent with family, or with friends on impact trips, no one had a more emotionally confusing week than Judson Kenneth Robert Nosker (12).  In the light of recent events, Judson, despite all odds, had gotten in a relationship with one of his classmates, and as the break started, he had started to spend a lot of time with her. While with her, he started to experience a new level of joy and completeness that he had never felt before. In the words of Judson Nosker, “The first half of the break was good, but the rest of it was horrible.”  The reason for such a quote and the roller coaster of emotion was because half way through the break, disaster had struck. Judson’s girlfriend had gone on a trip with her family to Thailand, leaving Judson all alone. For the rest of the week, Judson was in a state of longing for her presence.  His friends have reported numerous occasions when Judson would be sitting with t...
