The Canadian International School’s (CIS) U19 Huskies boys’ basketball team won their season opener in convincing fashion against Waseda with a score of 67-35.
The fury of relentless zone defense lead by Edwin Luo, and fast transition offense created an unsurmountable lead that was never threatened the entire game. Even with league MVPs Mingsan Boulter and Jamil Schulze returning, the Huskies scoring was evenly distributed, with over 20-points coming off the bench. This year the Huskies have more depth to the team than ever before.
Rookies Ethan Anderson and Lionel Kisoro made a deafening impact both on the floor and on the boards, and will be two key players to watch this year as they wear the Husky uniform for the first time.
On the CIS U19 Huskies girls’ basketball side, shrewd teamwork and sheer Husky grit handed the U19
Huskies girls’ basketball team their first victory of the season against their opponents from Waseda. In a hotly contested match, the returning senior quintet of Angela Butler, Ayaka Harada, Danna Gulanes, Puti Lee and Chanutda Wittemaier overcame a stubborn Waseda defense for the win, 28-21.
Looking to build on their crucial first success, the U19 Huskies girls’ team will relish a number of away games before returning to CIS on Thursday, November 3rd for the much anticipated home game opener which will take place in the new state of the art gymnasium at CIS’ new Lakeside campus.
