Playing a state level tournament in basketball is a big thing, and for me it means a lot because it shows me how far I have come along in this sport, from barely making to the team to starting 5 of the surat city team. I didn&#8217;t play any states before this because every time during the selections I was either injured or I didn&#8217;t know about the selections.<\/p>\n<p>so here are some images with the team. We lost the tournament, but the experience was fun and challenging, it showed me that I need to improve a lot but overall I even got close to my teammates and we all became great friends, I am not satisfied with my performance as I averaged 16 points per game, because in first match I was benched and only played 4th quarter and score 12 points which were eventually lost. In the second match I was in the starting 5 and we won, I scored 20 and had 10+ assists, but it was already over.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4979 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/SUrat-team-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4978 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Surat-city-300x135.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"522\" height=\"235\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The learning outcomes I have achieved are LO 1, 2, 4 and 5 which I aimed to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>LO 1 &#8211; Strength and growth, throughout the tournament I found myself improving and doing things that are tough for me with ease, due to the pressure I was forced to surpass my limits and improve to keep up with the competition, I eventually ended up dominating from my side but yeah, it&#8217;s a team game.<\/p>\n<p>LO 2 &#8211; Playing the state tournament for the first time was kind of a challenge as I only played tournaments from school so it&#8217;s a new experience for me as I was playing association games for the first time but I was able to handle it as I had the skills\u00c2\u00a0 to play.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>LO 4 &#8211; The learning outcome speaks for itself, this outcome is required if you want to play basketball at a high level as you need TEAMWORK to win. individually you can&#8217;t handle a team.<\/p>\n<p>LO 5 &#8211; I was constantly involved and committed to every game surat city played and had a major role in team&#8217;s points creation.<\/p>\n<p>I have many clips and some of them are too large but here&#8217;s one of my favs, if you wanna see more you can check my ig<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 600px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-3383-1\" width=\"600\" height=\"340\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Floater.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Floater.mp4\">http:\/\/classof2024.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Floater.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>This is a floater shot I hit over 2 tall defenders after passing a defender.<\/p>\n<p>To conclude everything, this was quite challenging and fun experience and I look forward to play more state tournaments and even win them, and even get selected for nationals.
