On Wednesday, 12 March the inter-house basketball tournament took place, with many intense games, and many beautiful plays but only one true winner.
The first game of the tournament was a pleasure to watch as Perseverance took on Diversity. The teams were captained by Zoro and Seva respectively, and although Diversity put up a decent fight they stood no chance against a well-organized Perseverance and lost the game 17:7.
The second semi-final of the tournament was an exciting game as Integrity battled Preparation. Artemiy’s shots and dribbles were the spotlight of the game and Preparation breathed through their opponents 18:8 with ease stepping into the finals of the game.
The game for 3rd place was not very competitive, as Diversity had a very strong performance against Integrity with Seva and Yuval leading the show. The final score 29:4 speaks for itself.
The final
Although at the beginning it seemed like Perseverance was going to win yet another game by completely dominating the first three quarters, it was not over, as Artemiy Fedotov went into his prime after recovering from an injury and scoring multiple 3-pointers in a row. It all came down to the last play of the game, but Preparation didn’t manage to score and therefore Perseverance became the champions with the final score 16:14.
Special thanks go to the officials: Denis, Ilias, Tristan, Seva, Marino, and Georgy as well as to everyone else who helped with the organization of the event. The biggest thanks goes to Mr Boris for making this possible.
