Basketball match 10/2/2014

Today we had a basketball match against International School of Uganda (ISU). We lost about 40-18. This was a wakeup call and a warm up for the game against Heritage International School tomorrow. Since we lost this game, we need to make sure that the rest of the games are won to be in the finals. ISU had different tactics that they employed during the game and it was very surprising. They switched from man-to-man defense to zone defense and it was difficult to play without knowing when they are going to change and do something different. We also faced the fact that we had mocks for 2 weeks and didn’t practice so our fitness and skills were a bit rusty.

Basketball match 11/2/2014

We had a match against Heritage International School and we won. The competition in this game was high because it determined whether we were in the finals or not. We were more prepared for this match and played the zone defense which worked well for us. We scored 19-15. This match renewed our spirits after the defeat from ISU the previous day. Heritage used the same tactics we had and played zone defense but they were difficult because they kept on scoring three pointers. To prepare for the next games, we need to practice and train hard. I need to get my fitness back and motivation to play the remaining games.
