Osofo in cape Coast Hoops days



Yesterday's win against Holy Family could probably be his last game in the Accra league. Late yesternight, Police forward Fred Yeboah (Osofo) dropped a status on his facebook that went like....
''Guys, today I announce my retirement from the Accra Basketball League,it's been great playing with all the players I came across...Just returning to full time in Ministry''.

The Accra league vet who has played for the now defunct Tudu Wizards and Hoops, Yotives and the University of Education, Winneba(as a student) was a pivotal member of every team he has been on. His peculiar skill set, leadership, passion and understanding of the game earned him a lot playing time while playing for Cape Coast Hoops in the past two seasons.

On April 13th, he grabbed a league high 21 rebounds against Warriors until Kwame Boamah shattered the record with his 30 a couple of weeks later. His stat line currently reads:
PPG
6.5		 RPG
8.4		 APG
3.1		 FG%
31.6

In a short phone chat with him, he pointed out the need to pay more attention to his ministry at his church, some problems with a few of his current teammates during games and the lack of remuneration from the team and the league as the main issues that influenced his decision. ''The stress of having to go through practice five times a week plus all the other responsibilities I have plus not getting enough time on court... I had to make a choice'', he added.
