The Under 15 Boys team added to their list of achievements with another impressive performance on Tuesday at Bangkok Prep. Though undefeated in pool play, the Seahawks did face a stiff challenge from the Eagles of ASB, winning on a buzzer-beating basket to win by just two points. In the championship game, also against ASB, the final outcome was still in question halfway through the 2^nd period when Wells surged ahead behind two consecutive scores by (including a three-pointer) by freshman reserve Thapadit 鈥淥xygen鈥� Suksakorn. With a bit of breathing room, Wells鈥� signature pressure-defense was able to suppress any ASB, holding on for the team鈥檚 second tournament trophy of the season.

Wells’ second championship came two days later, in the friendly confines of Wells gymnasium, as the Senior Boys gave Wells its first-ever tournament trophy at the senior level. In round-robin pool play, Wells was dominated by the Lions from BCIS. However, convincing wins over teams from Bangkok Prep, St. Stephen鈥檚 and KIS gave the Senior Seahawks one final chance to redeem themselves against the defending TISAC-champion Lions. Refusing to squander such an opportunity, the Seahawks tightened their defensive stance, subduing the potent Lion offense and forcing a low-scoring game. BCIS was able to power its way through to put Wells in a hole by as much as 5 points late in the 2^nd half. However, the Seahawks capitalized on several costly turnovers and eventually overtook the Lions to take a 3 point lead with less than one minute to play. Then, once again, Wells鈥� full-court press proved to be the winning strategy, as it prevented BCIS from crossing mid-court for most of the final minute of the game.

Wells鈥� Girls Basketball Program also performed admirably, reaching the championship games in both the Under 13s and Under 15s divisions. However, fatigue took its toll in both cases with the Lady Seahawks settling for two 2^nd Place finishes.

The Under 11s team also played this week, winning its first 3 games, but falling in its final 3 games, including the semi-final and consolation final games to finish in 4^th Place. And the Under 13 Boys played on Wednesday, falling to both the eventual champions from KIS and the tournament runner-up from BCIS.

The fall basketball season concludes with league championship games versus group winners in each division. Wells teams won their groups for the Under 13 Boys, Under 15 Boys, Under 15 Girls, and Senior Boys. Wells Senior Girls team had already clinched the single-group league championship two weeks ago.

This week was dominated by volleyball as both boys and girls JV teams continued their inaugural year facing the much bigger schools of BISAC.

On Monday, the JV Boys Volleyball Team played in front of the home crowd for the first time as they took on the Falcons from NIST. Earlier in the season, our young Seahawks visited NIST and caught the taller and much more experienced hosts by surprise, beating the Falcons 3-2. However, this time it was the Seahawks鈥� turn to have their tail feathers plucked as the visiting team鈥檚 consistent play bulldozed its way to a 3-1 win.

The JV Girls Volleyball Team traveled to Bangna to face the Eagles of ASB. Despite much improved play and actually reaching set point twice, the Lady Seahawks eventually succumbed to their hosts 3-0.

A triple header of sports took place on Thursday with the JV Boys Volleyball continuing play against the Phoenix of Ruamrudee. Behind intense and consistent play, excellent communication and solid fundamentals, the Seahawks quickly jumped to a quick lead in game 1 on its way to an impressive 25-17 win. Nonetheless, the inexperience of this young team quickly reared its ugly head as a series of mistakes flustered the team into a downward spiral resulting in three quick wins for the Phoenix. Wells picked up its second game with a consolation 5^th set, to finish the day at 2-3.

Closer to home, the U13 Boys Basketball Team continued its romp through the TISAC season with another blowout win, this time against a hapless Bangkok Prep team. A stifling defense resulted in numerous fast break opportunities and, despite mediocre shooting, an easy 21-8 win.

In a much tighter match, the U13 Girls Basketball Team was able to get back in the winning column against what seemed to be a one-girl-team in Bangkok Prep. A 32-minute defensive battle made every shot count. However, Wells balanced attack was just enough to outscore Prep by a single point, 12-11.

The upcoming week has four scheduled games, two away and two at home. The Boys JV Volleyball Team has pair of games, playing at Ekamai International School on Tuesday and at Harrow on Thursday. The Girls JV Volleyball Team has a home game on Wednesday against Ekamai, and the Senior Girls Basketball Team has a home game on Thursday against Regents.

GO SEAHAWKS!!!

A busy two weeks of Seahawk Sports began with the Senior Girls continuing to have their way with fellow TISAC rivals, followed by the debut of two of last year鈥檚 defending TISAC champions: the U15 Girls and U15 Boys teams.

On Wednesday, September 29, the Senior Girls welcomed the Lady Lions from Bangkok Christian International School (BCIS) for Wells鈥� first home game of the year. The game started out as a defensive battle with neither team able to capitalize on the other鈥檚 turnovers. However, as the game progressed, the Lady Seahawks were able to pull away and eventually rout their visitors, 25-9.

The debuts of both defending championship teams took place at TISAC-rival Bangkok Prep on Thursday afternoon, September 30. Despite the expected hostile environment both teams were able to walk away with blowout wins.

Action continued for both U15 teams as the boys and girls traveled to Khao Yai for the St. Stephen鈥檚 Khao Yai Basketball Invitational from Friday, October 1, through Sunday, October 3. Facing several 鈥渂ig name鈥� BISAC schools, our boys captured the tournament championship by going 5-1 overall, with a thrilling 24-22 overtime victory of the Harrow Lions in the final game. Our girls also were relatively successful, placing 3^rd, with losses only to BISAC powerhouses TCIS and Shrewsbury.

TISAC play continued on Wednesday, October 6, with our Senior Boys team blowing out Bangkok Prep 46-20 to remain undefeated at 3-0. The blowouts continued with strong wins for our Senior Girls team versus Keerapat, 42-22, and our Under 13 Boys team blowing out St. Andrew鈥檚 35-9. The lone loss for this period was from our Under 13 Girls team, which lost a hard-fought defensive game to St. Andrew鈥檚, 18-12.

The upcoming week will be dominated by volleyball games, with the JV Boys Volleyball Team taking on NIST in their first home game in the new Wells Colosseum. NIST visits the campus hoping to avenge an earlier loss to Wells on the Falcon鈥檚 home court. The boys continue play on Thursday when they travel to Ruamrudee in Minburi. The JV Girls Volleyball Team will also see some action on Tuesday against ASB in Bangna. In basketball, both the U13 Boys and U13 Girls will be traveling to Bangkok Prep on Thursday.

On Nut 鈥� The Under 15 Girls Team remain unstoppable as they pick up their third win in as many tries, soundly defeating the Lady Eagles of American School Bangkok 鈥� Sukhumvit Campus (ASB) 49-7. This time, however, ASB seemed to enter the game on a much more level playing field with the Lady Seahawks, compared to previous opponents Charter International School and Bangkok Christian International School. Nonetheless, as the Wells signature defense continues to baffle opponents, its offense continues to improve in leaps and bounds.

While keeping ASB scoreless for nearly the entire first half, Wells amassed 28 points 鈥� mostly from fast-break opportunities due to a very successful swarming defense that allowed just 7 points for the entire game. Additionally, shooting was well distributed with three players scoring in double figures (Ruchika 鈥� 15 points, Kanny Smith 鈥� 14 points, and Marin Takahashi 鈥� 12 points).

The second game of the doubleheader was arguably the most exciting game of the season so far. Despite an obvious height disadvantage, the Wells Under 15 Boys team took part in a clinic of precision passing, quick defensive hands, and well-distributed shot selection.

Leading by only two, 8-6, at the end of the first quarter, the Seahawks really began to click in the second quarter. Behind a series of steals leading to easy layups by Kevin (gr. 8), and a pair of three-pointers by forward Harjas Anandsongvit (gr. 9), the Seahawks built a 25-15 lead by halftime. This lead proved to be enough as the Hawks matched the visiting team point-for-point as it tried, to no avail, to claw back into the game. However, when the dust settled, the boys from Wells came out on top, 45-36.

Scoring in double figures for the boys were Jim (gr. 9) with 16 points, Kevin with 11 points, and Harjas with 10 points.

The TISAC schedule continues in two weeks as the U15 teams take on Bangkok Prep on October 14. GO SEAHAWKS!
