Year 8 Girls Basketball Team
We're thrilled to share the outstanding achievements of our Year 8 Girls Basketball Team this year! On 17 August, they soared to victory at the Regional Championship, securing the title for our region, Woodlands. In a nail-biting final, they emerged triumphant by a mere 2 points with just 20 seconds left on the clock—a testament to their skill, teamwork, and determination.
Fast forward to 14 November, and our talented girls took the court at the state-level basketball competition. Despite facing tough opponents, they showcased incredible teamwork and skill, winning one game while narrowly losing two others. Each match was intense and competitive, highlighting the grit and sportsmanship of our team.
Let's celebrate the resilience and success of our Year 8 Girls Basketball Team as they continue to make us proud on the court.
