Playing Amal

For the second time we played the same time Amal. this school beat us in the past 30-74 which was very embarrassing but we didn't have a lot of practice as a team and David and I were missing. our goal for this second time around with our improved skill was to increase our score against them, played better as a unified team and hopefully beat them. the match was intense and it really made us push to the peak of our ability. though we missed a lot of shots we still managed to reach our goal to score 46 points and closing the gap from 44 points to 30 which is great seeing how they also had the time to practice. These games have allowed us to improve our team skills and also our individual skill. pushing us harder to achieve greater. hopefully all this practice will allow us to exceed in SAISA and hopefully WIN!

Alzheimer's sale

for my CAS i had to sell pens for 100rp and cards for 400rp outside of the auditorium on the day of the seussical. this was to raise money for my CAS so that any plans for the future would be made possible. we made quite a bit of money from the parents that came to watch their kids at the seussical. it was a very smart decision to sell there as there was a art exhibition happening before the show so parents came in early giving them plenty of time to pas by our desk and help the Alzheimer's foundation. Saba helped out with the selling and we made very good salesmen, people got attracted by our amazing advertising skills and we made a very successful sale that night.

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
