The campus was very busy again this past week with mid week basketball games and with lots of MS/HS sport being played on Saturday. Touch league concluded matches and final were played at the MS field. Well done to all teams. MS girls gold won the juniors plate division with JV 1 and JV 1 playing off in the final of the juniors cup division. In a close encounter JV 1 def JV 2 1-0 to win this years TAP Juniors Cup title. Our varsity girls ended up taking 3rd place but look forward to IASAS this week in Bangkok.

Our varsity basketball teams had final preparation matches this weekend via the Faith Academy Hardeman Cup Basketball tournament. Good luck to our teams in KL this week for IASAS Basketball. The ASIJ swim team from Japan came to have a joint training session with our varsity swim team Friday and then Saturday joined our Varsity swim invitational meet. This was a good session to send our teams off for IASAS swimming in Taipei this week. Next Saturday the local league MS/JV division Rugby finals will be held at Faith Academy. Best wishes to our teams in playoffs next Saturday.
