Holding true to our commitment to playing the best possible teams available, NIA Prep certainly fit that mold. Having had their starting five all sign division 1 scholarships, this would be another test for our guys.
We ventured into a tough Newark inner city recreation centre for the match up, that would eventually turn out to be a great war between to teams who fought hard for 45 minutes!
Apart from the tremendous effort that both teams made on the floor taking the game into overtime and playing under tremendous heat in the sports hall, what clearly stood out was the incredible sportsmanship that was shown by both teams. How two teams from thousand of miles apart could bond so quickly and become sporting friends was truly amazing. It showed how basketball and sports, in particular, can really help bridge some of the social divide we have in this world.
