A Pandas Game to Forget

Last week more than half of Prescott’s Red Pandas ran, jumped, threw and cheered their hearts out BEFORE our basketball game had even started…

Boasting some superb athletes, the Red Pandas Team were strongly represented at the regional SAPSASA Athletics day, and might I add, won or placed and will now represent our District at the State event next week!

Needless to say, some Red Pandas, too exhausted to play, pulled out last minute for our game against the Artdornish All-stars, or couldn’t make it for other reasons…I still think enlarged pupils and blurry vision from an optometrist appointment may have actually helped Tanner with his shooting…

Recalling Seth from his scheduled player bye, Alanna, Seth and Jonah, while still star athletes, shone a little less bright on the basketball court after their big day of sports, and after scoring the first basket for the game, the Red Pandas held the lead for only the briefest of moments, before the All-stars steamrolled the Red Pandas, inflicting our biggest loss of the season.

Some highlights were seeing Scout defended with vigour, and Farid stepping up his game. Some much needed help came from Jola, who at half time switched games and teams and rebounded like a champ (graciously skipping out on her Titan team-mates on Court-1 to help the hapless Pandas).

We have the 3:45 game this week, so pack your sneakers with your lunch-box and don’t dilly-dally after school!
