9th January 2012 marked the day when the King Edward (KE) VII female basketball team faced Temasek Hall (TH) in the Inter-Hall Games (IHG). When the match started at 8.40pm, the spectator stands of the Sports and Recreation Centre’s (SRC) basketball courts were already filled with many supporters from the various halls.
Temasek Hall is a very strong opponent for us, because they have quite a few IVPs (Inter varsity players) while our players are more or less join the game based on their interests. However, we always hold the words “Friendship is always the first place in the game”!
During the game, facing the powerful team, our warriors did not show off any fear but tried their best to compete for our hall. Our female Captain Yilin got the first 2 scores, which inspired our players a lot. Points were lost drastically in the second session because of the lack of communication among players. However, our players still did not give up but kept up fighting on the court.
The last 2 sessions seemed to be a very long time for our players. Because our female team did not have more extra people to swap, all the players were very exhausted. Long Jinghan, a player in the team said, “I felt I was going to faint. But I knew, I must hold to the last minute to fight for the glory!” Holding this kind of attitude, our warriors complete the game with great persistence and perseverance. Yilin even got a 3-point goal in the last session, which is very impressive.
Although the final match score was a 13-35 loss to TH, the KEVII female basketball team had without a doubt put up a brilliant display of resilience. This match had definitely been a good experience for all the players and hopefully, they will be able to come out even stronger next year.
Go basketball warriors!
