GISST Sports Friendly Weekend Fixtures

Last Saturday, 8 March, several BBS Basketball Teams, U14 Girls, Varsity Girls, and Varsity Boys, travelled to Berlin Brandenburg International School (BBIS) for a day of friendly fixtures against the BBIS Panthers and the Wolves from the International School of Wroclaw.

Two U14 Girls teams represented BBS, showing great grit, improved communication, strong defensive positioning, and plenty of energy. The younger team, mostly Grade 6 students, played at an impressive tempo, finding space well and defending the basket effectively. These games provided valuable preparation for the upcoming GISST Basketball Tournament at Berlin International School.

The Varsity Girls’ first game against BBIS was highly competitive. BBS led for most of the match before narrowly losing by a single basket, demonstrating major progress. With only one substitute, the second game was challenging, but the team showed determination, improving throughout and learning the importance of concentration, basics, and movement.

The Varsity Boys beat the Wroclaw Wolves comfortably but fell short against a strong BBIS team. Despite having only two substitutes, the boys showed exceptional effort, energy, and teamwork.

BBS thanks Mr. Nicholson, Mr. Allum, Mr. Barclay, Ms. Ritchie, and Ms. Canty for their support and coaching as teams prepare for their upcoming GISST Tournaments.
