Our district team came together a little while ago after a round of selections, and it was quite pleasant to see that a lot of student ofOakridge International made this district teams, the students were, Arvind Achanta, Akilesh Achanta and Jaipal Reddy among the boys, Anisha Alla, Mounika Burugupalli, Simran Jain, Shreya Jain and Alisha Sarna from the girls.
The main challenge started when we began our little journey started on the 18th of November, when we as team, both the boys and girls, drove down to Narayanpuram, a small town about 40kms away from Ellore. On arriving, we split up and went to our respective venues of stay. We were representing the district, Ranga Reddy, under which our school’s location falls.
Both the boys and girls reached the finals, and played very tough matches, and lost by very close scores, 57-53 for the boys, and 32-25 for the girls. We found it quite exciting, trying to adapt to the crowd, the place, the weather, etc.
We were quite sad at our loss. But at the same time, 6 boys made the A.P team probable, and in the end, 3 boys and 2 girls from the Ranga Reddy team made the State Team, and will be attending the National Tournament in the end of December in Delhi. From Oakridge, ARVIND ACHANTA and ANISHA ALLA, were the 2 students who were finally selected as part of the Andhra Pradesh State team. It was quite impressive, and we felt very happy and proud that our hardwork paid off. We are both now practicing hard at our game, to see that we can be at our best form by December, to outdo ourselves at the Nationals.
Arvind Achanta and Anisha Alla
