Upcoming Basketball Season

First season APAC is happening this week and that means season one is coming to an end and season two sports will be here very shortly. One sport in the second season is boys and girls APAC basketball.

The Rams will be hitting the hardwood this season with big expectations to carry. Both basketball teams played very well last season; the boys team and girls team placed in the top 5 at Super-APAC.

Both the boys and girls basketball teams have some work to do this season as they need to replace several key players from last year. Fortunately, there are several returning players from last year who have experience. It looks like there will be plenty of newcomers looking to find a spot on the teams this year. These new additions could have an impact on the teams’ season this year. Senior Nikhil Budhev says he is looking forward to “playing as a team.” This is something that both teams did very well last year as they had excellent chemistry on the court. The chemistry of the teams is something really important that they are looking to continue building while having another strong season. Senior Caroline Zhang said she is looking forward to her last season of basketball because she really enjoys playing ball. Certainly she is not alone as many other Rams also feel this way. With this kind of commitment, AISG can count on their Rams to work hard and improve as players and as a team. Senior Ryan Chiang said he enjoys basketball because of the adrenaline rush he gets from being on the court during the games. This enjoyment has helped Chiang improve to where he will be a senior leader and play a big role in his team’s success this season. 

The Rams season will begin shortly; they start practice next week and have their first game on November 9th, and it is hopeful that they can be strong competitors once again this season. So, be on the lookout for the Rams to take the court.
