If you’re a sports enthusiast at our school, you may already be familiar with our famous basketball team. With their unwavering dedication to the game, the basketball team has become a cornerstone of our school’s sports program, winning countless games and tournaments, and becoming a source of pride for all woodstockers. In this article we will take a closer look at the ever improving team.
What aspects of basketball do you get most excited about?
Jaemin: Samuael’s layups.
Lhagyel: Jaemin’s dribbling.
Samuael: Lhagyel’s acting when he gets fouled.
What’s the best Basketball game that you have played till now? And against whom?
Lhagyel: The second game of the Asian School tournament where we played SelaQui International School and I scored 30 points.
Kekhrie: Against Keundrub’s team in Swishahathon.
Who’s your favorite Basketball player?
Samuael: Jaemin Han – Supreme Leader.
Kekhrie: Me.
What’s the schedule looking like these days?
Jaemin: I wake up at 4am to practice 500 layups a day. I then go up to school, come back down and practice 500 pull-up jumpers again.
Kuendrub: Usually we have practice 3 times a week and I practice on my own in my free time, but we haven’t had practice in a while because of rain and exams.
If you could change one thing about the way basketball is played, what would it be?
Lhagyel: We should play basketball but with our feet and instead of a net use a goal post.
Yash Kejriwal: Basketball has become very iso-centric. It’s understandable, but if I could change something then I would make Basketball a proper team sport again like the 2014 spurs.
What do you guys do when the practices are flexible and when the mood is light-hearted?
Jaemin: The mood is never light. Our captain always screams if we take it lightly, I’m scared of Kuendrub.
Kuendrub: We don’t, because I’m scared of Jaemin.
Kekhrie: We don’t have those practices.
There is a game tomorrow, but you are feeling sick. Would you play anyway?
Samuael: Yes, since I have to represent my school, and do my best for the team.
Jaemin and Lhagyel: We don’t get sick.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve gained from your coaches?
Lhagyel: Don’t argue with the refs even if they make the worse calls
Kuendrub: Don’t pass Jaemin the ball.
