Ekamai 鈥� For the second time this month, the Wells girls volleyball program challenged the bigger schools of BISAC, facing Ruamrudee, Harrow, and host EIS at the 2012 Ekamai International School Varsity Girls Volleyball Invitational Tournament on Sunday. Coming off a gold medal performance by the junior varsity team just two weeks prior, a very young varsity team nearly accomplished the improbable. The Lady Seahawks powered their way through pool play, defeating Ekamai Varsity 2-0 (25-12, 25-23), Ekamai JV 2-1 (25-23, 17-25, 15-12), and Ruamrudee 2-0 (25-23, 25-23), but dropping a match against Harrow 0-2 (20-25, 16-25). Nonetheless, based on winning records and head-to-head tiebreakers, Wells ended up at the top after pool play, earning them a spot in the championship match against pool-play runner-up Ruamrudee.

In the championship game, however, the Seahawks鈥� youth and inexperience became apparent as the confident and experienced Phoenix from Ruamrudee took advantage of nervous miscues and free balls to win in straight sets, 2-0 (25-19, 25-22), giving RIS the gold and leaving Wells with the silver.

With the Lady Seahawk varsity team made up largely of members of the under 15 and junior varsity teams, the future is certainly looking bright for Wells鈥� volleyball program. A member of TISAC, the Seahawks have been competing regularly with the larger schools outside of the conference, as no other team in TISAC currently has a formal volleyball program. The school hopes to change this as it plans to host, on a trial basis, the first TISAC volleyball tournament later in the school year.

Go Seahawks!

The JV Boys Volleyball Team continues to face the bigger teams of BISAC, beginning with an away game at Ekamai International School. Despite taking a quick 2-0 lead, the young Seahawks could not put it away as the host Flames roared back to win three games in a row to take the match 3-2. Similarly, inconsistency and inexperience took its toll against the Lions of Harrow International School with Wells once again dropping a close match 3-2. The Seahawks were finally able to get back into the win column with a single match during the mid-term break against the Wolves of Ramkamhaeng Adventist International School. Heroics from freshman reserve Sitibhum 鈥淭enn鈥� Chaiwatnarathorn and Thapadit 鈥淥xygen鈥� Suksakorn helped the Seahawks fend off 8 game points to steal games 1 and 3 away from the Wolves, on their way to a 3-1 win.

Also seeing action was the JV Girls Volleyball Team with a home game versus Ekamai International School. Despite showing steady improvement since the beginning of the season, the Lady Seahawks were no match for the older and more experienced Flames, losing 3-0.

The lone basketball game came just before the mid-term break with the Senior Girls hosting Regents International School. Every player on the host team had a chance to play as the Lady Seahawks dominated the game from the start and cruised to a 26-8 victory.

The Seahawks come back from break with a heavy slate of both basketball and volleyball games. The Boys JV Volleyball team stays home to take on BISAC heavyweights Bangkok Pattana (Monday) and Harrow (Thursday), while the volleyball girls take a break. In basketball, Wells takes on St. Andrew鈥檚 (U11 Coed, U15 Boys, U15 Girls), BCIS (U11 Coed, U15 Boys, U15 Girls), and St. Stephen鈥檚 (Senior Boys, Senior Girls).

On Nut 鈥� In a classic match-up of David versus Goliath, the Wells Under 15 Boys basketball team successfully defended the home court by topping BISAC powerhouse Ekamai International School, 48-43 in overtime.

Despite towering over their hosts, the visitors were unable to contain the well-balanced shooting of the smaller but quicker Seahawks. Behind the strong play and leadership of team captain Kevin Yuan, gr. 8, and the outside sharp-shooting of forward Harjas Anandsongvit, gr. 9, and guard Jim, gr. 9, the home team effectively implemented their signature swarming defense that forced their opponent to take a number of rushed, low-percentage shots.

At the onset of the game, Wells jumped out to an early lead, taking advantage of Ekamai turnovers and miscues, as well as the surprisingly strong rebounding of center Joon Lee, gr. 9. However, EIS flexed its muscles behind BISAC MVP Songvit, gr. 9, to take the lead into half-time, 19-17.

The visitors stretched their lead to as many as six points midway through the second half as foul trouble forced the Seahawks to go to their bench for back up. However, a string of points to start off the fourth quarter by Kevin and power forward Van, gr. 8, kept the resilient Seahawks within striking distance.

Then, with less than two minutes in the game and down by one, basketball rookie Jack, gr. 9, was fouled under the Seahawk basket, putting him in a high pressure situation at the charity stripe. After missing his first shot, Jack sunk his second shot to tie the game, much to the delight of the screaming home crowd. Another Ekamai foul and a free throw by Kevin put the Seahawks in the lead for the first time since the first quarter. However, the visiting team showed some resilience of its own to tie the game in the closing seconds of regulation time, 37-37.

In overtime, the Seahawks struck first with another outside jumper by Harjas. Then, after Ekamai tied the score again at 41-41, a free throw and a couple of quick scores put the Seahawks up 46-43 going into the final seconds of the game. However, it was a crucial rebound by Jack at center and two foul shots by guard Jim that placed the proverbial stone on the sling. And as the buzzer sounded, the giant had fallen.

The Seahawk scorers were led by Kevin with a game-high 17 points, followed by Jim with 12 points. EIS was led by Apisith with 12 points.

Wells resumes its TISAC league-play with several home and away games against Keerapat, Rasami, and Bangkok Prep on October 14 and 15.
