Nanyang Falcons soar as West Zone Junior Boys' Champions!
The Nanyang Falcons emerged as Champions of the West Zone Junior Boys Division in a pulsating and thrilling final played against Chua Chu Kang Primary at the Jurong East Sports Hall on 5th March 2015.
It was a cagey and edgy affair up till the half-time break as both teams were unable to settle and in order to get their game going. Perhaps it was the pressure of playing in front of a boisterous crowd or the unfamiliar conditions of the indoor court; both teams were hampered by wayward passing and poor shot decisions. At the end of the half, Chua Chu Kang led by 16-15.
In the 3rd quarter our young Falcons managed to find their groove and began to overwhelm their opponents with a series of steals and quick counter attacks. We managed to build a lead and did not let up till the end. Chua Chu Kang put up a valiant fight and never made things comfortable for the Falcons. They were led by the outstanding form of their point guard (no.6) and a tall center (no.14) who made crucial baskets to keep the game close.
In the end however, the Falcons tenacity and overall play prevailed. We were able to overcome Chua Chu Kang with a score of 51-33.

This is in recognition of his overall play in defence and offence.

The Falcons gave their all to get this far, with sweat, tears and blood shed on the courts through many hours of gruelling drills and training. As they lined up during the prize-giving ceremony, it was heart-warming to see the boys chatting with their peers from Lian Hua and Chua Chu Kang. The boys displayed the true meaning of sportsmanship; to face their opponents on the court and to embrace as friends when the game is over.
Behind every successful Falcon team is a dedicated group of parents who help to bring the boys for training, buy refreshments and give the loudest cheers. Thank you parents!
The Nanyang Falcon family, together as one.
We may be different, but we all bleed Nanyang blue.

NBA Asia Basketball Clinic
On Thursday 15 January 2015, the Nanyang basketballers had the unique opportunity to attend a basketball clinic conducted by NBA Asia. The clinic was run in the cosy indoor sports hall located at HomeTeamNS Club (Balestier)
The players had a great time as Coach Chris Sumner, the manager of Basketball Operations in NBA Asia (Hong Kong), led them on a series of fun drills and games. Chris came prepared with prizes for the winners of games. Not wanting to disappoint our young players, Chris also gave out cool NBA3X wrist bands to everyone.

Nanyang Basketball Blog is back for 2015!
Dear Parents and Pupils,
Our humble apologies for not blogging in 2014. We had a very meaningful year as our Senior boys captured the West Zone Championship and subsequently came in 3rd in the Nationals.
For our CCA Members we were able to continue our weekly trainings with Coach Ong. We were also able to organise a 1-day camp in March 2014 and a 3-day camp in June 2014. During the camp we showed a documentary of Jeremy Lin, we taught the pupils to cook outdoors and we also played a telematch together. The highlight of our camp was a hike to Hort Park as well as a movie outing to Great World City where we were able to catch the made-in-Singapore movie, Meeting The Giant. Many thanks to all our Parents who contributed sponsorship in cash and kind in order to make the camp a big success.
For the Nanyang Falcons in the development and school teams, we were able to embark on an overseas trip to Malaysia. It was a wonderful trip with matches against Malaysian schools in Penang and Perak. We had a chance to visit the Sunway Lost World Theme Park as well as the Kuala Lumpur Skytrex Outdoor Adventure Park. Many of our boys were also accompanied by their parents and siblings, making it very much like a family tour together.
And so...onwards to 2015. We will not be blogging much about what has passed. But you can all look forward to what is about to happen next. As teachers, we will try to stay committed to blogging in order to keep everyone posted on what is happening in Nanyang Basketball. At the same time, with the popularity of Facebook, we would also like to launch the Nanyang Falcons FB page to share photos and other related news.

What a difference a year makes... CHAMPIONS!
Our Boys last year (top). Our Champions this year (bottom).
What a difference a year makes.
A year ago, we sent our boys to take part in a friendly 5-vs-5 basketball competition organised by Jurong Secondary. We sent one team as we were not sure how we would perform. As the boys had only just started training then, there was not much expectations. They were also a young Junior Team against much stronger Senior Teams. True to form, they were also soundly beaten. As some boys would recall then, we lost by as much as 52-2.
This year, on 9th November, our boys returned once more to the courts of Jurong Secondary to compete in their annual 5-vs-5 competition. This time we entered as Seniors. Due to the team's growth, we could also compete as 2 teams - Team A and B. Team B gave their best but were eliminated after garnering 2 wins and 2 losses in the first round. Our story does not end here, as Team A would go on to sweep all their games in rounds 1 and 2 to emerge as the champions of the Jurong 5-vs-5 competition!
Our Senior Boys Team A would win each of their games with a deadly mix of panache, skill and swashbuckling play. Like a hot knife through butter, they would scythe through their opponents on their way to the basket. Where individual play was stopped, the team passed their way into the zone before scoring crucial baskets. Whenever the opponent seemed to step up their game, our Senior boys never waivered or waned. They would press harder on the defence and obliterate their foes with their stinging offence.
There were plenty of games to savour that day and the parents and supporters who joined us were treated to a boundless display of lethal scoring and accurate passes accompanied by a relentless defence. The Senior Boys would play 7 games and win all 7 that day. The boys won for themselves a medal each and $300 in Popular vouchers which was shared not just by the players in Team A but also with the players in Team B. As a team, they share their defeats and their triumphs, their joy and sorrow.
THEY ARE A TEAM, A BAND OF BROTHERS.
HOWEVER DIFFERENT THEY ARE IN TALENT OR ABILITY;
THEY ALL BLEED NANYANG BLUE.
We congratulate our Senior Boys on their triumph and hope that this would spur them to greater glory and achievements.
Next up, the Senior Falcons head to Taipei, Taiwan to take part in a provincial tournament organised by Nangang Primary School. Let us wish them all the best in their endeavours!
