A1 CHALLENGE TROUNCE OVER THE CRANE HIGH LADIES 74:26 AND DEDICATE WIN TO MAVITA ALI ON HER 22nd BIRTHDAY.....LOL'ing. HBD MAV
"We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." Having said that, the A1 Challenge camp was cheerful especially by virtue of the fact that our very own was celebrating a birthday and the fact that it was spiced with a convincing lymphatic win is just right and fitting. Well that was the case on Saturday 16th June 2012.
An early riser kick off, 09:30am to be precise, Crane High was scheduled to play against A1 Challenge in the Makerere Court, Main Grounds.
More surprises on court was the introduction of the long-serving guard in Khisa Marie who has been off since the season began, on official duty and finally Fredrickah who also had playing time against the Crane High ladies.
Down to game proper, by the end of the first quarter, A1 Challenge was leading the Crane High ladies by 18:0, yes you saw right. Crane High’s offense was chocked and limited to just that ZERO points by the 1st quarter.
It’s on that note that Tumusiime Ritah decided to take matters in her own hands and lead the Crane High offense. She relentlessly kept driving into the A1 Challenge defense and kept being fouled, eventually converting in the free throw area. Ritah, for all we remember was the only Crane High player with double figures-13points to be precise. Even with the help of Nansubuga Sarah, Apolot Eve, Mishy Tumaine and Kobusinge Moureen the high school ladies were still found wanting.
Another observation was the fact that the entire Crane High team was out-sized, out-smarted and eventually out-played.
Captain Ntale Victoria was not fluid as always definitely having her best games but still managed to run riot and pick the man-of-the-match award scoring a game high 15 points.
Mugasha Carol had a decent game shooting scoring 9 points, Kyomugisha Gloria and Aggie offered a helping hand in the offense scoring 8 points each, Mulwana Olivia and Birungi Mariam also scored 7 points.
Positives are the team is scoring points from all areas; Khisa Marie is back though a little fitness concerns but she is back in camp.
However, M. Fredickah’s return was dainted by her being fouled out and with one point to her name who she lethal as usual in her defense.
Next in line is Gladiators on Sunday morning at the YMCA Courts, the game which will climax the end of the 2012/13 FUBA-Airtel Basketball first round.
Missing in action was; Bazira Liz, Irakoze Doreen, Kabuji Larry, Okot Barbra and long term absentee’s in Bagiire Dorcus and Lokidi Angella.
