Playing with plenty of gumption, Jamnabai Narsee International School (Juhu) recovered from a 4-8 first half deficit to turn the tables on challengers Cathedral and John Connon (Fort) and record a deserving 23-15 win in a boys U-16 semi-final of the MSSA inter-school basketball tournament at Azad Maidan on Wednesday.

Cathedral and John Connon began in positive fashion with Veer Subandh making an incisive run through the rival defence and finding the hoop to open the scoring in the very first minute. Later, Yohan Mehta scored two baskets as Cathedral finished the first quarter with a 6-2 lead. In the second, both teams struggled with their shooting and could only score a basket each as Cathedral enjoyed an 8-4 advantage. However, Cathedral were unable to build on the advantage and even missed some easy lay-ups, resulting in their downfall.
