On Sunday, King Edward VII School (KES)<\/strong> claimed the championship title of the Inanda Hoops Classic Challenge <\/strong>at St David’s Marist Inanda<\/strong>, succeeding St Stithians College<\/strong><\/a> as the champions after a tense 29-27 win over St Benedict’s College<\/strong> in the final.<\/p>\n

The teams had met earlier in Pool B, with KES defeating Bennies 57-42<\/strong><\/a>. However, with the title on the line, the contest was far tighter, and it went down to the wire.<\/p>\n

KES, though, had been the standout team from the first tip-off, thanks Siya Ndlovu<\/strong>, the tournament’s Most Valuable Player (MVP), who was included in the All-Star Team with his teammates, Bradley Moyo<\/strong> and Tim Fanny<\/strong>. They were joined in the side by Bennies’ Bahlebonke Mazibuko<\/strong> from St Benedict’s College and Shakalo Mda, of Michael Mount Waldorf School<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With their All-Star trio leading the way, KES went undefeated, cruising to impressively dominant victories in their group stage assignments.<\/p>\n
