Basketball Champs

Each year schools around Manila put on Sports Festival.  It consists of basketball, volleyball, soccer, badminton, and ping-pong.  This year, I played on the basketball team, and we won!  It's the first time in 15 years that or school has won, and Filipinos are a basketball-obsessed people, so it was kind of big deal.

I was really proud at how well we played in the last game.   We played a team with more talent than us, but we played better together as a team (we've been practicing together for a couple of months).  We played great team defense and didn't crack against their press.

Here are a few shots....

Very happy after the championship victory



Lots of smiles after winning!
