Our boys had a powerful start on the 2nd day, clinching victory against SKHTSK and securing a spot in the semi-finals with determination 👍👍. Despite a hard-fought battle against ISF, we faced a tough loss in the semis.

The girls showcased their prowess in the third-round ribbon match against the second seed, HYS. Although dominating the first match with a 2-0 lead, the subsequent matches slipped from our grasp, resulting in a narrow 1-2 defeat in the final showdown.

Both the boys and girls teams are poised to compete for their respective third-place finishes next week against Lasalle and True Light, respectively. Let’s rally behind our teams with support and wish them the best of luck!

Go HKIS!! 💪💪🐉🐉
