Singapore Basketball Centre, Wednesday, January 27, 2016 – Presbyterian High School (PHS) overwhelmed Naval Base Secondary (NBS) 64-6 in round 1 of the North Zone B Division Basketball Championship.

Presbyterian High’s Louis Teh (#6) had a game high of 14 points.

Louis Teh (PHS #6) had a fast break to score the first basket. Presbyterian High started their full court press early into the first quarter and prevented Naval Base from breaking in to score. Naval Base fought hard to break the defence but were unsuccessful as Presbyterian High intercepted most of their passes.

Nevertheless, Aldridge (#11) from Naval Base managed a jump shot to score the first basket for his team. The first quarter ended with a 3-point shot by Louis Teh (PHS #6) to give his team a 10-point, 12-2 lead.

Presbyterian High continued to dominate as they made shot after shot in the second and third quarters. Naval Base made a valiant attempt to defend and block most of the shots. However, they could not score many baskets due to Presbyterian High’s aggressive defence.

Dylan Lee (#20), captain of Presbyterian High, said, “We managed to not underestimate the opponent, unlike the previous game. We also never gave up for every quarter and improved on our defence. The team did great and I hope we will do better next time.”

Presbyterian High will next face Northbrooks Secondary while Naval Base will go up against Christ Church Secondary. Both teams have lost one match in round 1 and have to win their next match to get in to round 2.
