Houston Rockets Junior NBA Team: A Display of Resilience and Sportsmanship at the Cyprus Junior NBA Final Competition

We have been eagerly following the Houston Rockets Junior NBA team since the beginning, after our announcement on March 6th. After months of training and hard work, the team was finally able to showcase their skills in the Final Four on March 31st.

The competition has now come to an end, but it was a truly wonderful experience for all our participants who approached the competition with dedication and spirit. In their final match, the team played for third and fourth place, but unfortunately, they lost. Despite this setback, our team played an incredible game.

During the first half, we were ahead in the score by a significant margin of 15 points, and we were all hoping for the best. However, things took a turn for the worse when two of our best players suffered injuries, which ultimately cost us the victory.

Our brave team members include Gavrielidou Ismini, Kapiri Sophia, Koronaki Yakinthi, Kypreou Paola, Azar Gabriel, Savvas Savvas, Heraclides Savvas, Ioannou Antonios, Pastalosavvis Giorgos, Katsambas Antreas, Yiallouros Christian, Serrurier Marinos, and Elia Alexandros. We commend the Houston Rockets for the spirit and sportsmanship they showed throughout their journey in the competition.

We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation to their coaches, Mr. Andy Ioannou and Mr. Andreas Sizopoulos, who played a crucial role in guiding and supporting the team throughout the game.

Although our team didn't come out on top, the Cyprus Junior NBA Final Competition was a life-changing experience for us. We are grateful for the opportunity to have participated and will continue to work hard to improve our skills for future competitions.

This is not a defeat when we think about all the positives that our team gained during the competition. Our team members showed true resilience and sportsmanship in the face of adversity, and we are proud of them for representing our school with such honor.

In conclusion, we congratulate the winners of the competition and express our gratitude to all those who made this experience possible. We hope to see you all again soon on the court!
