On the 28th of November, a memorable Tuesday, the British School of Sofia's basketball teams engaged in a friendly yet fiercely competitive game against the American English School. The event was marked by determination, skill, and valuable lessons.

Despite short notice and minimal preparation, the girls' team displayed commendable skill and resilience. With limited substitutes, they pushed their limits against their AEA counterparts. Although they ultimately faced defeat, the experience galvanized their spirit, fueling a motivation to train harder for a future rematch.

The boys' team played with a dual purpose: for themselves and in solidarity with the girls' team. Leading for most of the game, they showcased effortless skill. However, they were hindered by limited substitutions and a strategy that emphasized individual play over teamwork. This approach took its toll in the final quarter, leading to their eventual setback. Ultimately, their coach did not manage to get them to work as a team, which could have been due to the immense pressure they felt.

Both teams' experiences highlight the importance of discipline, teamwork, and the relentless spirit of sportsmanship at BSS.
