Grade 8: The Super Intense Soccer Tournament Result

During the last three weeks, starting from April 12th, the eighth graders of SHSID held their annual Basketball competition. On the surface, basketball looks like a simple game of throwing a ball into a hoop suspended in the air, but is actually much more than that. In depth, it not only contains numerous different strategies using team formations and compositions, but it also demands rigorous exercise and practice to allow your body to execute the skills that can be the crux of winning the game. This tournament was a friendly battle between classes. Every match was a 3 v 3, because only that would ensure that each class was performing at its best, with its best players on the field.

In the ensuing grand clash to decide which class would finally be crowned the “Basketball Masters” of eighth grade, the games were all very entertaining to watch. Most games went down to the last second, where it still could have been anybody’s game, and ended with a mindblowing play that decided the outcome. After an engaging week of excellent basketball, the final teams victors were class 8(3) as the gold medalists, class 8(8) in second place, and class 8(9) in third. Although some classes were not able to make it onto this list, we all agree that every class played very well, and everybody cannot wait until the next basketball tournament.

An intense atmosphere, talented players, dazzling skills and loud cheers have left us all with many beautiful memories to cherish. The following pictures have captured the most glamorous moments. Please enjoy:
