& BIG WINS!

Varsity Girls Basketball Team

Triumphs at Home Tournament

It has been an amazing season for the Varsity Girls Basketball team. We had a team of thirteen great basketball players with the best coach to carry us through the season and together we were unstoppable. In our first tournament at ZIS in Zurich we placed second after only losing one of our games to the tournament winners, ZIS. We were all disappointed with the outcome and felt we could have brought home the gold so in the next few weeks we worked even harder and got ourselves ready for our next tournament in Geneva. We were more prepared than ever, getting big wins throughout the day. We were ecstatic, after hearing that final buzzer the whole team rushed onto the court to celebrate.

Determined to keep this winning streak going we only got better and better with everything leading up to our biggest tournament of the year that we would be hosting, with teams from Cairo, Israel, London, Geneva and Eindhoven present as well as our JV team, who did very well placing 4th in a Varsity tournament.

The relationships we built over this season and the great memories we made will surely be something we will all remember for a very long time.

Throughout the tournament we received amazing support from students and staff who came down and watched our games. The atmosphere was electric with tons of cheering. It kept the energy high and helped us to get some big wins over the course of the tournament. By far the best game was the finals, where we played with the team from Cairo, the gym was absolutely PACKED. The game started off close with both teams battling for each point but after a while we took over and held a 10 point lead, winning by 12 points in the end. Celebrating with everyone there, knowing we were ending our season on a high and sending our seniors off in style was a euphoric feeling, mixed with emotions of sadness that our season had now come to an end. We hope to continue our success next season and wish our seniors Alex, Bea, Georgia and Kylie the best of luck, they will be dearly missed.
