RESULTS FROM LAST WEEK’S GAMES:
Varsity Boys played their first game of the season at I-Shou International School on Friday, October 30 and lost 15-49. However, seeing as it is the first game of the season players should not get down on themselves but rather look to learn from the experience moving forward.
JV Boys recorded a win in their first game of the season beating I-Shou International School 39-34. Coach Upchurch had this to say about his team “I was extremely proud of the competitive spirit our team demonstrated in the 2nd half. Even though we were behind at half time , in the 2nd half we competed at a level fueled with a hunger to win. This along with better shot selection and ball movement helped us to create a lead that we were able to hold onto late in the game. Go Sharks!” The JV boys were led in scoring by Christopher Rotunda who put 13 points on the board, 8 of them in the 4th quarter.
JV Girls Basketball start their season this Friday, November 6, taking on a Community team at 3:30p.m. at MAK.
上週賽事成績:
男子籃球校隊於十月30日(五)在義守國際學校參加了本賽季的第一場比賽,但是以15比49的成績惜敗。 但是,這是本賽季的第一場比賽,所以球員們不應該感到沮喪,而應該從經驗中學習和繼續加油。
男子籃球校隊二軍在本賽季的第一場比賽中以39比34的比分險勝擊敗義守國際學校。 Upchurch教練對他的球隊說:「我為大家在下半場表現出的競爭精神感到非常的驕傲。儘管我們上半場是落後的,但在下半場我們卻以更加渴望勝利的精神來比賽 。優秀的投籃和控球動作加上這股衝勁讓我們奪回了領先的優勢,並且讓我們在比賽的後半段維持住這個優勢。Go sharks!」Christopher Rotunda帶領這男子籃球校隊二軍英勇得分的主將。他在比賽中貢獻了13分,其中的八分是在最後的四分之一投進的。
女子籃球校隊二軍將於本週五,十一月6日下午3:30在學校與社區隊伍比賽,作為展開球季的第一場賽事。
