#ICBL and #ISBL Nationals #MatchUpdates by Ekalavya Posts Game 36, Court 2: Sr Nav Bharti School, Ludhiana vs Bishop Cotton Boys School, Bengaluru In a game of two halves, defending champions Sr Nav Bharti School Ludhiana continued their dominating run in this year’s school boys division. Bishop Cotton Boys showed what they are capable of in terms of skill, but Ludhiana’s incredible athleticism meant that the Bengaluru boys couldn’t sustain their level of play from the first quarter. Interestingly both teams played zone defense with differing degrees of success. By second half, Sr Nav Bharti was able to break free repeatedly for easy transition buckets and extend its already sizeable lead. Defensively, Nav Bharti continued to maintain their intensity, even stepping up a notch by employing the full court press that broke Bishop Cotton’s resolve. Sr Nav Bharti has established itself as the overwhelming favourites to repeat their title run from last year. On Bishop Cotton’s part, this quality team will have to work on its strength and conditioning over the next few seasons to match their opponent’s physical prowess. Sr Nav Bharti School Ludhiana bt Bishop Cotton Boys School, Bengaluru 97-50 [26-12, 17-16, 29-14, 25-8]
