Hello juniors,

I don't know what to say so I'm just typing as I'm thinking and vice versa. Well, guys, you'll have come very far. No, its not the National Finals YET, but you'll have come so far, from what I see. The sec 1s, you all are fantastic (since the day I first saw you all), the best batch of sec 1 in the country no doubt. The sec 2s, all of you have improved - the difference between the finals today and last year shows how much you'll have grown, every single on of you, on the court, on the bench.

I saw all of you really fight, great job. We as supporters fought very hard too. Its a joy to see all of you run on the court, and when I think back and reflect, I just am amazed that you'll are in the SZ finals. I mean, we are Raffles, 'only good in studies', 'cannot play ball', utmost underdogs right? Yeah but I'm proud of the way you'll handled Catholic High. You all went in as underdogs, and you almost turned the tide and overcome the odds. It was definitely in your capacity. The fight is already there, every hustle, every sprint, every rebound, you all can do it. One thing I can say is, play more smartly, read the game better as you all progress in the Nationals. Trust me, you all can do it. No stupid turnovers, no cheap fouls, just solid overwhelming play.

Well I shouldn't say too much. Don't dwell in your misery. We cheered our hearts out, not for our juniors to lose and drown in despair. We want you all to know that we are with you all the way, like I said today.

We are going to beat Catholic High the next time. We are going to overcome Jurong. We are going to avenge the loss against Presbyterian High. We are going to the National Finals. Zone finals, so what NOW? REMEMBER: DREAM TEAM FIGHT WIN. REMEMBER: NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. (I'll only write for those who played okay, cause its the first time I've seen you'll play a real game)

WEIXUAN You are good, I don't care if you fouled out, just don't do it again, because you are so good that we need you for 40 mins. Knock them all down !

RYAN: You are really good too, play with exceptional special intelligence beyond others cause your fight and your toughness is already here. Your match focus must increase and intensity must be more focused and chanelled to the right aspects.

BRANDON YAP: You know how well you can play and you play, so do not be mentally limited by the amount of time on the bench. Dominate.

RAVINS: You are awesome, thats why, we need you to be fit and stay on the court. You are going to be the best PG for RI ever. Dare to be that? Singapore #1 for your age.

LAWRENCE: You are exceptional. Height doesn't matter, because you're Lawrence. Keep up the hustling !

JORDAAN: You're an offensive powerhouse. Play smart, and keep up the work ethic. Many years to come, success is imminent, but this is the year to win the championship.

CHANDER: You're really good at rebounding. So make it your forte, and grab every rebound. Challenge your play time and give 100%.

JUSTIN: You're a natural at the playmaking position. Remember what coach said, and transit to the secondary school game, you can split defenses and all, work hard.

JIANHAN: You've improved alot, stay focused, and fight hard. You're an underdog, so continue working hard to become a starter. Give your all for it.

THE REST OF YOU: Must cheer and fight on the bench too ! Small little things like filling water, giving towels and stuff all count. Fight hard in the best of your abilities. Coach didn't choose you to be benched, there's a reason for everything, you are in this team, you're in for the Championship, show it more ! Good job today guys.

Keep the heads up knights, Raffles Dream goes on. You all are like my own team, as though I'm in it. So I'm aiming for the National Championship.. WHO'S WITH ME?
