14 Boys GISST Basketball Champions Back This past weekend, the ISF U14 Boys Basketball Team travelled to Duisburg to participate in the annual 10 teams GISST tournament hosted by St. George's School. After placing 6th last year, the boys were hoping and dreaming of something more this year. The boys got off to a nervous start on the unusual courts in the host gym as they squeaked past Franconian International School (FIS) for an overtime victory. ISF then fell to Bavarian International School (BIS) by ten points in the group round. However, the boys went on to win the rest of the games in the tournament in fashion, averaging victories of at least ten points. In the final, the team avenged the single loss to BIS, winning the game in commanding fashion. Each player on the team scored during the tournament and played a key role in the success of the team. A strong season of practice games, commitment, and teamwork allowed the team to claim the first GISST basketball title for ISF since 2007/08. Great work ISF Bulldogs & Congratulations to all U14 champions, coaches Jack Morton and Mike Colvin!
