Sunday’s finals saw St Stithians<\/strong> College<\/strong> succeed St Benedict’s<\/strong> College<\/strong> as the u18 champions and St David’s Marist Inanda<\/strong> succeed Michael Mount Waldorf<\/strong> as the u15 champions of the St David’s Inanda Hoops Classic Challenge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The u18 final was a battle of traditional rivals, with Saints battling St John’s College<\/strong> for the title. Both had produced performances that justified their places in the final.<\/p>\n

As often happens in title deciders, the contest was a low-scoring affair, with both units playing stifling defence. St Stithians, though, had the edge and they came away with a tough 35-25 win. Saints’ Benedict Agammouh<\/strong> was also named the u18<\/strong> Most Valuable Player (MVP)<\/strong> of the tournament.<\/p>\n

King Edward VII School (KES)<\/strong> took on last year’s winners, St Benedict’s<\/strong>, for third place, with KES securing a 46-36 win over Bennies<\/strong> to lay claim to the bronze medals.<\/p>\n

In the u15 division, the home team, St David’s, delighted their home supporters by scoring a narrow 35-33 win over St Alban’s College<\/strong> to lift the title.<\/p>\n

St David’s was in a championship mood throughout the tournament and went unbeaten. They also produced the u15 MVP, with Lelentle Nthlokwa<\/strong> cracking the nod.<\/p>\n

St Benedict’s took on St Stithians for third in the u15 competition. After another tightly contested clash, it was Bennies who came away with a 46-39 win, a result which would have been encouraging for both schools as it showed they have good depth in both the open and u15 age groups.<\/p>\n

After four days of thrilling basketball action, Elvis Ukpong<\/strong>, the Director of Basketball<\/strong> at St David’s, expressed his gratitude to the supporters, sponsors – Sebamed, Fasken, NBA Africa Store<\/strong> – and SuperSport Schools<\/strong> for their coverage of the Inanda Hoops Classic Challenge.<\/p>\n
