They say ‘all good things must come to an end’ but before that, they must begin! This Sharks Basketball season is a VERY good thing, and last Tuesday, the MAK Varsity Boys’ Basketball Team began their season with a home game against IIS. Despite few practices, the Sharks came out looking strong and got a 69-28 victory in this early season test. Varsity veterans led the way as Joseph Tsai led all scorers with 25 pts, followed by Brandon Chen and James Lei  with 12 and 11 pts, respectively. This week the Varsity Boys has one more game: I-Shou College Club team on Friday. Let’s go Sharks!!
