Game Day Recap; 18/3
Kingdom Hoops; new team, old faces.

Kingdom Hoops 71, Turbo Jets 53
Kingdom Hoops; new team, old faces. A team of vets from various teams led by Emmanuel Otoo including TY expats Mc Martey and Cyril , Henry(CCH) and Tsatsu(Magic)cruised passed Turbo Jets in the day's opening match amidst too many 3 point attempts. Turbo Jets lost the game in the second quarter which K-Hoops had a 23-4 run.

Tema Youth 30, Lions 44
A-not-so-exciting match if you ask me. Probably because of the "new" TY. With Mc Martey and Clarke now with kingdom Hoops and the Borsah brothers not showing up, Rubberman and his crew are certainly in rebuilding mode. On the other hand to avoid down playing the Lions' effort, who also have lost two of their boys to CCH, it was evident they came into this season with a lot of focus and preparation, going all out and making use of the opportunity to defeat the less fire-powered TY. The Lions kept their game alive with a lot of team effort; most of the time about two guys ended up coming down with the rebound.

CEPS 37, Police 32
Was personally expecting a finer game, just like many of the fans that showed up. Maybe it could be blamed on rustiness caused by a too long off season and also coaching. Both teams came into to the game all fired up but it ended just like it did last year at Lebanon House,Police controlled the game in the first half and then lost the game in the second. Now, this is a summary of the game, Dickson and Zaku did the do for Police, CEPS was out of sync if not for Hashim's all-over-the-place physical play(and he scored quite a bit), Dodzie was 0 of 5 from downtown, you can't forget Darko's blocks and overall good defense by both teams. Tell both teams we wouldn't agree to the argument about the prisons' court being a difficult shooting court, Kingdom Hoops banged 71 on their debut.

    Okay so the league doesn't take stats and you expect a 2 man run blog to do so;a bit unfair don't you think?? The game was really crappy.Some great individual plays occurred but nothing close to organized team ball.Notable mentions Zaku and Dickson.Hashim was the man ,Dodzi was off.Honorable mention big time made a big time play with a late 2 and clutch free trow.have too admit the game was very competitive but hardly great display of team skill...

    Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen
    in Internet explorer. I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let
    you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed
    soon. Thanks
