Sprite Ball: Mfantspim beat Ketasco to win record fourth title

Mfantsipim Senior High school reclaimed their title in the Sprite Ball Championship after rolling to a 30-14 win over Keta Senior High to make a historic fourth in Accra on Saturday.

Daniel Owusu and his team eased their way to a record fourth title success at the event, with the outcome never in doubt once the record holders got off to a flying start against St John’s senior high in their group D opener.

The level of depth in terms of scoring, combined with some terrific defense, allowed Mfantsipim to take an unassailable lead on course for a record-breaking final victory.

However Ketaso produced a late rally and played with great pride to avoid an unwanted role in another glorious Mfantsipim’s basketball chapter.

But it was too little too late as Mfantsipim rolled to another big win over their rivals to clinch a record fourth title at the national final in the boys division.

Opoku Ware School took third place after beating debutant Bompeh in the third and fourth place match.

Mfantsipim guard Jaman Salifu was adjudged the MVP in the boys division.
