Genesis Tigers Claim a Winning Bronze at the 2025 Pahoa Cup 🏆
The gym buzzed with energy as the Genesis Tigers took their first steps onto the polished Pahoa Cup court. From the opening tip, they played with a hunger that made their intentions clear—they weren’t there just to compete, they were there to win.

Their journey began against SMP Al Fatih 1, and the Tigers wasted no time setting the tone. Swift ball movement, sharp defense, and confident shooting built momentum with every possession. When the final buzzer sounded, Genesis stood tall with a 35–23 victory, their triumph echoing through the stands and sending a message to every other team: the Tigers had arrived.
The next test came against the formidable Raffles squad, a matchup that demanded everything the Tigers had. The game was a battle of speed and grit—every pass contested, every rebound fought for. Genesis fought for every point, but when the clock ran out the scoreboard showed Raffles 47 – Genesis 32. It was a loss on paper, yet on the court it felt like a spark: the team left with heads high and determination sharpened. The setback wasn’t the end; it was fuel.

That fire ignited in the bronze-medal clash with IPEKA Plus BSD, where Genesis unleashed their full force. From the very first possession they dictated the pace, applying relentless pressure and turning defense into fast-break opportunities. Shot after shot found the net, and their chemistry shone brighter than ever. By the final whistle, the scoreboard read Genesis 35 – IPEKA 11. This wasn’t just a win—it was a statement. While silver can mean ending on a loss, bronze is claimed through victory, and Genesis proved they knew exactly how to finish strong.
The Tigers’ Pahoa Cup run was more than a quest for a trophy. It was a testament to early-morning practices, unshakable teamwork, and the unwavering spirit of the Genesis Global Community School. They walked off the court not only with a bronze medal, but with a story of perseverance and heart that inspired everyone who cheered them on.

Congratulations, Genesis Tigers! You didn’t just earn third place—you owned it, showing that true champions are defined not by setbacks, but by how fiercely they rise and how powerfully they finish.
