Friday and Saturday, March 11th and 12th, ten basketball teams competed in our 30th Annual Boys’ and Girls’ Basketball Jamboree at the RIF Olympic Training Facility. On the boys’ side, there were a total of six teams and on the girls’ side, four teams participated.
On Friday, both of our teams kicked off the tournament with matches against St. Gilgen International School. After a slow start, the Lady Lions cruised to a 24-10 win behind 12 points from Saskia. The boys’ team did not fare as well against the eventual tournament champions, losing 9-28.
The girls’ team played a second match on Friday and doubled up on their winning ways by defeating a scrappy QSI Bratislava team, 15 to 10. The Lady Lions looked tired in this second match, missing many of their shots despite dominating the play throughout.
