On Saturday, November 16th, the very young GESM team was invited to play a friendly U-15 Boys basketball game at a competing international school. Eight eager players -- who only started playing together weeks before -- started off in fine fashion by getting an early lead, before the opponent’s squad pulled away to win in the second half by a narrow margin of 36-32 on their home court.
This group of hearty boys, while lacking in real-game experience, worked hard and stayed together to have an exciting debut for the 2024-2025 season. Solid sportsmanship and camaraderie was displayed by both teams.
Lacing up their shoes to play for GESM were: Santi (5E), San (6E), Pablo (8E), Iago (7E), Sebastian (8E), Deacon (8E), Aarav (8E) and Mateo (9E).
With at least two more expected upcoming tournaments to possibly enter this year, our goal is to continue to build upon this first game and participate in tournaments hosted by MISAA and the German school network of Southeast Asia later in the school year.
