WHS v Taita College (26/05/10)

This week saw the boys play a double header against two top four teams. Taita College on Wednesday followed by Kapiti College on Friday. Taita proved to be a very challenging team, but the boys didn't help themselves with a poor shooting performance. In one of our worst performances this year, we only managed to shoot 37% from the field, 15% from the 3 point line and 40% from the free throw line. Thes missed shots gave Taita plenty of opportunities to counter attack and we struggled on transition defense.

Sam keller top scored with 25 points as well as pulling down 18 rebounds, while Dier Makoii added 23 points and slammed home a momentum changing dunk in the fourth quarter that led to our come from behind victory. Hamdi Yusuf made up for his poor shooting performance (1 from 16) with 8 steals and a three pointer putting us up 5 points with only seconds remaining. Jayden Smith had an excellent rebounding night pulling down 25 rebounds.
