ISK VS. MALEZI

 Tuesday September 28th we the ISK Varsity played a Basketball game against the Malezi girls school. This school is known for its great tennis program, the girls came to our school and played against us, once again we were able to come out victorious although we made many mistakes that we will be able to learn from.

ISK tournament

This past weekend, ISK held a 6 a-side football tournament as well as a volley ball tournament. As a member of the Athletic Council i was score keeping, Picture taking and selling snacks all day, our Girls volley ball ended the day with a 1st place trophy and our boys sadly losing out in the final came second over all. However it was a very successful day :)

Rosslyn tounament

The rosslyn tournament is a tournament which we attended last year and unfortunately got knocked out after 3 games, this year we went back in full force, beating every team in our pool and getting through the knock out games into the final, unfortunately we were met by the RVA A basketball team and ended up taking a horrible defeat 20-4 we came second. We improved tremendously from last year, however it still wasn't good enough to beat RVA we will play them again in 4 weeks and hopefully this time it will be better.

38-15

RVA  B VS. LIONS that's another win!
although we came out victorious this is one of the most pitiful games we have ever played, i hope that is the last time that ever happens. Even though i am a bit disappointed it is important to celebrate.

The journey to Rva takes almost an hour and half, the rift valley is a sight we see every time we pass by it is remarkable. There is a picture of a tiny path under a railway in which we pass, legend has it if you touch the wall you lose. No one touched the wall, so im guessing the legend may be true

Friends Of Marich

Im am officially the CO-CHAIR of Friends Of Marich, really excited to start all the planning for our next project in the Pokot region, hopefully with Harmon Parker and if not then just for the community as a whole.

31- 8

First ISL Basket ball game of the season.

ISK VS. ROSSLYN 

September 8th, 2011  

31- 8 

This First game of the season is always a great accomplishment to win, last year at this time we saw no hope of winning against a team like Rosslyn, this game just signifies to us how far we have come and how hard we have worked. Looking forward to the next game :)

2011 ISSEA BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

The 2011 ISSEA Basketball tournament was held in Ethiopia this year, it was a wonderful experience as we got to and reclaim for the 4th year in a row the title as the CHAMPIONS of ISSEA! as captain of this years team i was very proud and hope to see a 5 peat next year. This year was also wonderful cause we got to see our boys pull out a 2 peat.
Going into the tournament i held alot of pressure on my shoulders as we were walking in to defend a 3 year winning streak, we entered the tournament with only 9 players and quickly lost another to illness leaving us down to only 8 players. We were all fearful that we would let our legacy down however we all picked each other up and me as a leader had to keep picking my team up through the 3 days of intense grueling  basketball. After seeing the state my team was in, on the first day my goal was to keep their morale high and kick out another win.
As our coach was also the coach of the boys team we had Mrs, Thompson with us, she was a great help to us as she took care of us, she made sure we always had water and if anyone had any pain anywhere she made sure we had ice. Without her we would have all come back broken in many places. The ICS courts were rough courts that were not basketball friendly. An outside court made of cement scratched and hurt you every time you fell and a indoor court made from wooden floors that gave you splinters every time you fell.
This ISSEA tournament benefited our team as it lifted our spirits after having come second in our local season, we felt achieved and able. Us winning the tournament also helped ISK as our sports program is seen as accomplished. If i had the chance to go to ISSEA again i would not change a thing because it was perfect the way it was :)
