Clementi Sports Hall, Wednesday, January 14, 2009 – Hwa Chong Institution thrashed Boon Lay Secondary 73-45 in a B Division West Zone Basketball Championship Group C game this afternoon.

Hwa Chong led by 11 points after the first quarter with their #13 Rong Hao driving in constantly with his trademark baseline spin move.

Boon Lay were led by their #7 Jeremy with his drive ins and #10 Nicholas.

Despite a three-pointer by Jeremy just before the half-time buzzer, Hwa Chong still led by 12 points at the break.

The start of the third quarter saw Hwa Chong put on a suffocating man-to-man defence on Boon Lay’s pair of Jeremy and Nicholas to stifle any possibility of a Boon Lay comeback.

Hwa Chong won by 28 points, with Rong Hao (#13) scoring a team-high 16 points while Boon Lay’s #7 Jeremy had a game-high 21 points. Three players accounted for all the Boon Lay team scoring.
