GIRL’S NETBALL JBS v CIS – Wednesday 24th May Out U14 Girl’s basketball team had their first game of the season on April 24 th against a strong CIS team. They came out on to the court sporting brand new JBS basketball strips and were excited and raring to go! The team has been together for only one training session, but they were keen to put what little they had learnt in practice and do JBS proud. CIS started strong and took an early led. However, JBS worked hard in defense to close down some off their main players and were determined not to be pushed around by a more experienced team. The team was raised into celebratory cheers from the sidelines, as Shefa scored the team’s first ever basket within the first 2 minutes of play. Nahal and Anastasia also added points to the score for JBS which did not fail to put a smile on all the team’s faces. After half time our focus was to attack the CIS defense by making effect use of our dribble and to continue to close down their main players in defense. Thanks to the skillful hands of Emma and hustling attitude of Bana by the 4 th quarter JBS started stealing the ball, creating fast break opportunities for themselves. With some more practice and training sessions we will start to convert these opportunities into points. The final score does not do the team’s effort and positive attitude justice (6-40). From the tip off to the final buzzer the girls worked extremely hard and never stopped chasing the ball. The team showed their class and sportsmanship at the end of the game by shaking hands with the referee and the opposition. As a team we have learnt a great deal and are keen to take it forward to the next training session and game. Our next game is against DIS on the 15th May.
