Match Report: Basketball HCI vs ACJC

In this afternoon's match-up between Hwa Chong and ACJC, our basketball team emerged victorious with a score of 87-10. With this win, HCI extends her unbeaten record and now sits on the top spot of the group.

Starting the game with aggressive man-to-man defense, HC pressured their opponents into making several forced shots and inaccurate passes. These turnovers committed by them were then efficiently converted into fast-break points at the other end of the court. Before long, HC had established a comfortable 15-3 lead and began pulling away quickly.

Entering the 2nd quarter, the team maintained their playing intensity by halting the ACJC offense effectively and scoring in style. Having pushed their lead beyond 20 points, HC never once looked back and extended their lead consistently throughout the game.

Having missed the first two matches due to high fever and flu, Edward Ng (#15, forward) put up an incredible performance in his very first match with 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists while Ah Bao (#13, forward/centre) chalked up 3 rebounds, 3 assists and led all scorers with 15 points.

The rest of the team took their turns to shine, with notable plays such as back-to-back fast breaks by Nicholas Tan (#6, guard), well-timed steals by Zhou Kai (#7, guard) and excellent centre rotations by Hock Seng (#14, forward/centre), Subhas (#5, forward/centre) and Hong Sheng (#10, forward/centre), all of which put smiles on the faces of HC Captains, Chester Leow and Chiam Hong Yao, and Teacher-in-charge, Mr. Michael Wong.

Ending their match debrief with a Birthday song for Captain Chester Leow (who turns 18 today!), the Hwa Chong Basketball Team goes off for a week-long break until their next match with River Valley High School on the coming Friday.
