Outside the gym, it was a cool day with a little bit of drizzle, but inside, it was raining buckets. Unbeknownst to us, the spectators, the two teams were going to put on an exciting show, and we were in for a wild ride.

Before the game started, the atmosphere was almost warlike between the two teams. In the first quarter, the Broncos gained a small lead of 6-0, but then the players started to make mistakes, leading them to be overtaken by the opponents. At this key point during the game, the coach organized the players and called effective tactical plays targeting the opposing team’s main players. In the second quarter, our team showed their cohesion, and they were able to successfully implement the coach’s tactics. UCS was able to take the lead. The Broncos’ defense seemed invulnerable, readily repelling SUIS’ attempts at scoring. However, they were still able to make a few shots. When the game got tough, the team captain and number 13 were able to carry the team; one broke through the opponent’s defense, and the other was a wall, blocking everything that came his way on defense. Their efforts galvanized the rest of the team and ignited their fighting spirit. In the end, through teamwork, their efforts culminated in a decisive victory for the Ulink Broncos.
