U15s Boys Basketball Team Win Second Cup Match
December 2 2024
The ESS U15 Boys Basketball team had another great victory on Friday, winning 67-30 against Lasswade High School. The team recently beat Broughton High School 48 – 12.
This week’s cup game saw the boys travel to Lasswade High School”, reports Coach George Palmer.
“After a nervy start, Archie and Noah led the way both scoring over 10p as the boys ran out to a 36-14 lead at the end of the first half. The second half was a real team effort with Armin and Simon both going on scoring streaks. Richard was a strong defensive and rebounding presence throughout the game also chipping in with 8 points. The game finished 67 – 30 as we picked up our second win in the Scottish Cup. This game was a real team effort with 3 players ending up in double figures for points and 3 more with 8 or 9 each.
I’m very proud of how we moved the ball and played offense in the second half with lots of scores leading directly from passes and our five-out movement offense.
More rebounding and defensive work is required in training before a competitive game against Dunbar on the 12th of December.” Coach George
