On Tuesday, the Inter's basketball team took on SNHS in our final fixture of the regular season. We went into this fixture knowing if we won, we would definitely be in the semi-final.
As a team, we decided to go out strong straight from the off and attack the basket to secure an early lead. The team did this well with a great tip-off from Caleb, getting the ball to Leon who scored within 5 seconds of the game starting. This strong start continued with great efforts from the starting 5 working together to all score points in the first quarter. By half time we were up significantly due to fast drives to the basket by James A, strong rebounding and putbacks by James G, and great shot selections by Caleb. With a full bench, we had a great chance to rotate the team to work on other tactical areas within the game. For his second game this season, Blake came on and provided instant impact, and Sonny's confidence developed significantly for his second game, showing his skill set and knowledge of the game at many stages. The 3rd quarter did see SNHS close the gap within the score, which meant we had to make sure we extended the lead in the 4th. The game ended 58-33 to Ballakermeen.
Well done to all the players that have been involved in the Inters team; it has been a fantastic season, and now we focus on getting to the final!
