BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS :)

The girls basketball team of S.A.M had made it to the city finals. We are now the best of Scarborough and we represent the east when we go to our city finals on Wednesday, the 16th of December 2009. Well all of this came with alot of hard work and practice, we have practices in the morning at 7:30 am for about 2 or 3 times a week (weekdays).

We started of a little rusty at our first tournament at ACI where we played against Gr 8 teams. After a few weeks of practice we were alot better because of the new skills Mr Busby and Ms Cheng taught us. We learned how to defend and shoot better and also how to work as a team.

It doesn't matter if we lost or won, it was mostly about trying and playing our best all the time. Playing our best and trying our best was how we won and made it this far.

We also had some spectators/"cheerleaders" during our basketball games at S.A.M. That had bumped some of our confidence and pumped us more by us having to make our school proud of us. Our S.A.M spirit was also a good part because even if we were going to lose or was tired the people on the bench/audience was still cheering for us and that made us feel better and concentrate on he game.
