Singapore Basketball Center, Wednesday, January 29, 2014 — Yishun Town Secondary (YTS) defeated Compassvale Secondary (CVS) with an easy 48–15 win in the North Zone B Division Basketball Championship.
Lim Bei Xuan (YTS #11) scored a game-high 19 points with four 3-pointers, while Fatin Farhanah Binte Mohammad Fauzi (CVS #14) registered a team-high five points.
Yishun Town started the game well, dominating the boards and combined well with strong offensive play. Their team chemistry enabled the players to facilitate good ball movement. Offensively, the team put up a 17–4 scoring run to end the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Yishun Town kept up the momentum under Lim Bei Xuan’s (#11) lead. She scored a total of nine consecutive points which included two 3-pointers.
Compassvale stepped up on their defence in the third quarter. They were led on offence by Fatin, (#14) who managed to drive the ball up the court on several occasions. Despite Compassvale’s good ball possession, they had a low conversion rate. Yishun Town’s strong defence and poor shooting on their part denied them the chance to reduce the deficit.
During the final quarter, Yishun Town managed to fight back on the offensive end. Players Teo Shi Ting (#5), Bei Xuan (#11) and Amelia Wong (#14) managed to capitalize their scoring opportunities with commendable teamwork.
Yishun Town’s vice-captain, Bei Xuan said, “We don’t have the full team today hence we thought we would not play up to standard. However, we managed to perform so I felt it was quite good. During the third quarter, Compassvale was aggressive but we fought back.”
Compassvale’s captain, Fatin commented, “ We felt disappointed and frustrated because we knew the way we played was not our usual standard. We could really improve on our fitness and defence. However, I was elated to see that my teammates did not give up despite trailing behind by so many points.”
