Kenya’s girls basketball secondary school games (KSSSA) champions Kaya Tiwi started off their East Africa games title pursuit on a low note. The Kenyan Queens got the going tough past Uganda’s Buddo Secondary School in a match played at the International School Moshi of Arusha, Tanzania.
The Ugandans led from the first to the last whistle in a match that openly showed their dominance in basketball. At the end of the first quarter Buddo led 15-09 with Kaya Tiwi closing the gap to 17-22 at the break.
The third quarter wasn’t any better for the Kenyans as Buddo maintained their lead; ending the quarter at 34-28.
The Ugandans opened the gap further in the last quarter and recorded a 52-38 victory.
In the Boys’ category, Kenya’s representatives Dagoreti High were not lucky either; as they lost 54-72 to Uganda’s Bethel Convent.
The 2022 Federation of East Africa Secondary Schools Sports Association (FEASSSA) are being staged at Arusha, in Tanzania.
