Malezi Bball qualifies for Langata District Finals and County!

Sadili's Malezi Hawks today qualified for Langata District Secondary Schools Sports Association finals after trouncing Sunshine Secondary in the semi-finals. Says Coach Amoko, "This was an exciting moment as a majority of the team are new young recruits averaging 14 years old, and just beginning to feel their game in basketball. We are still building a team for the future. What happens at the finals will just be another chance to build our game, so it won't matter whether we win or lose". Well done Malezi! 

Cheers!

Malezi School are District Champions

Zack Okong'o received trophy

Coach Nico, Captain Zack and teacher Nickson

The Lang’ata District has crowned Malezi School as this year’s district champions this weekend at the AMREF training facility and it was memorable. The game was as intense as a world championship-boxing bout with both teams going head to head for the title and the opportunity to represent their district at the County level.

Sunshine Academy came out the gates with a full engine of steam, going up quickly 04-00 against the favourites: Malezi High School. But that was brought to a halt, when coach Nick, of the Malezi team, called a time-out and substituted Eddy Amos, a freshman, in the game to facilitate the Box & 1 defense to contain Sunshine’s Churchil Otieno (11). 

With the treat contained the Malezi team took back the momentum and erupted taking the lead. Going on a 13-point run the Malezi boys ended the half 24-11, with rejuvenated confidence and focus.

The second half, as the fans would confer, was the ‘Malezi Show’, with John Madol (7) taking command of the charge. The team rallied behind their newfound leader, overcoming the loss of injured captain Zack Okong’o, and finished the game in championship style.

Leading Scorers:

Lual Mathiang           19-points, 15-rebounds, 3-steals

Fred Odhiambo         16-points, 16-rebounds, 5-blocks

John Madol               10-points, 5-assissts, 5-rebounds, 6-steals

The medals, trophy and certificates were awarded to the best team, Malezi High School, in the Lang’ata district and were honored to represent the District in the County tournament.

All is well that ends well, but for the Malezi team it is only the beginning.

LOVE THE GAME
