BIS in the semi-finals for the Basketball Nations Cup.

 Today the BIS Eagles played two GREAT games in the 2014 Nations Cup Basketball Tournament. First the Eagles beat School of Nations in an exciting high scoring game. On the second game BIS was in the lead in the first quarter and the scored was tied at the half-time mark. On the third quarter Sta. Terezinha opened a lead which ultimately gave them the win at the end of the game.

   All BIS players played very well tonight and team put on an extraordinary effort in both games. The highlights were the trio Lucca, Goro and Wilko who scored the majority of the points for the Eagles with excellent moves down low and many assists to each other. Linus did a great job getting offensive rebounds and scoring inside the paint. Makwembo, Rafael, Salvador and Saturnino also did a super job in playing tough defense and helping on the offense. The whole team was in sync and it was FUN to watch! Way to go Eagles!!! 

  Now the Eagles finished second in their group and will move on to the semi-finals which will be tomorrow (9/20/14)  at 4pm at Escola das Nações (School of Nations). All players should arrive 30 minutes early. 

 Special thanks to all who came to cheer for our team today. It was AWESOME!!! Two more games tomorrow... Go Eagles!!!

Swim Event This Weekend in Brasilia.

Swim Competition

I wanted to make families aware of a community event that will take place in Brasilia this weekend.  A BIG swim team (including myself) is set to take place as part of the 25h Swim Relay this weekend in Brasilia. This is a really fun competition. The goal is to keep your team relay going for 25h straight! Our team (those that wish to join me) will be recognized as "Raia 10." This competition will take place at the Olympic size pool (50 meters) at Centro Olímpico da Universidade de Brasília (UnB). The minimum requirement is that you must be able to swim 100 meters (1 lap). You don't have to go fast but must be able to complete a lap. Once the lap is completed, the swimmer will take brief  rest and repeat the process.  Our team will do that all day and all night (if desirable)!            

Remember: You don't have to stay for the whole 25h.  Therefore, when you sign up, the officials will ask you to choose a time of the day that you would like to swim. The event will begin at 10am on Saturday (23rd) and end at 11am on Sunday (24th).

I will be there from 9:30am to 11:45am on Saturday. We encourage everyone to come swim at that time and join me for the fun!  This is not a school sponsored event and everyone will need to provide transportation.  However, it will certainly prove to be a great time for those that wish to attend.  We apologize for the short notice but wanted to ensure everyone (if able) could attend the event.

You may sign up when you arrive at the pool at UnB. The cost is only R$10 per person.

Hope to see you in the water!

JH Eagles finish soccer season with a WIN

  The Junior High soccer team ended their season with an exciting game against the French School. After being down 2 to 0 on the first half the Eagles rallied back to tie the game at 4 to 4 on the second half. On the last play of the game Lucca defended a shot from the French School, then passed the ball to Goro who passed to Saturnino who dribbled forward and shot a rocket in to the corner and scored the winning goal for the Eagles! It was an AMAZING finish! 

   Great job to Goro (scored two goals), Rafael, Salvador (scored one goal), Makuembo, Saturnino (scored two goals), Lucca, Farhan and Linus. Way to go Eagles!
