British School Tournament

Nothing improves a team better than playing other teams that are completely unknown. The Geckos joined the british school basketball tournament where we had to play three games and win 2 out of the three in order to succeed to the next round (quarter finals) We first played Lyceum Nugegoda which we knew were the best team we would ever play. we didn't think much about how good they are but decided that we would give it our best. being our first game obviously our goal was to win but we were not prepare as a team so we lost. it was a terrible loss and we deserved it as we didn't play as a team but just became a fast break game. we talked it over and went to win our second game after a bit of practice. we started playing as a team and won by 20. the third game went very well, we played as a team and set our goals straight, we were all determined to win. unfortunately we lost by 4 points. we gave up half way through because we got tired and so they caught up. we played well though so there is nothing to complain. as a team we are all improving and making more shots and playing better as a unit. my goal as captain of the team is to lead the Geckos to a victory in SAISA
