Basketball victory

Our boys' basketball team claimed a victory over rivals Lord Williams's School, Thame, beating them comprehensively by 38-13.

Even though their opponents were big (one player reached 6'5”), St. Clare's had worked on a great offensive strategy concentrating on its starting five: Amir Amangeldi, Tinnabhand Patana-Anake, Jules Kleitman, Thomas Cox and Vitas Janukonis, and were tight on the defensive too, which meant that after half time they held a 29-9 lead.

The most valuable player of the match was awarded to Tinnabhand Patana-Anake for his defensive tenacity, huge amount of rebounds and for finding the open players. This was also the team's first game in their new kit. Vitas Janukonis scored a spectacular 27 points.

Basketball is one of the many Creativity, Action and Service (CAS) activities which our IB students can take part in. To find out more, visit our activities page.
