The deafening sound of cheering is heard within the area as both teams go head-to-head against each other. The Al Taj Knights gave their best shots this season. They trained hard, attempted hundreds of layups and 3-pointers, runners. They dazzled fans and overwhelmed opponents. But every time they leave the court, the Knights seemed to be building toward a something bigger and better, toward the biggest goal of every basketball team, the grandest prize.
The Knights made history, a journey they completed together last Friday Night at Al Shark Hotel with a victory over the Riyadh International School Bazookas in 3rd Season Laguna Lakers Basketball Tournament finals.
Al Taj Knights celebrated their back to back championship in 2016-2017’s basketball season. When the final buzzer sounded, the players stopped at center court as silence fell over the crowd. The Knights won the championship with the score of 83-76, countering every move that the Bazooka made and the points, rebounds and assists that their main scorers could produce.
“To you God be all the glory! We are Champions once again.”, said Arnold Ben, the coach of the Knights. Each and every one on the team scored and cheered as hard as they can, to lead the Knights, who ensured that the hard work in this championship-starved city will linger for a while longer.
