Our Saints 1st Team Basketball clinched GOLD at the 7th Annual Inanda Hoops Classic Challenge.
The journey to victory began during the August holidays when the 1st team entered camp with a clear goal: to prepare for success on the biggest stage. Although the season didn’t always go in their favour, their determination to stay focused on their ultimate objective never faltered. United by core values of respect, accountability, and discipline, the team established high standards off the field. Their dedication, passion, and quality of play reflected those same values on the field, setting the benchmark for excellence.
They had the perfect tournament winning all of their games -
53 - 35 vs Hilton
86 - 28 vs Redhill
48 - 40 vs Jeppe
Quarter Final 39 – 21 vs St David’s
Semi Final 57 - 37 KES
Our boys showcased skill, heart, and teamwork, emerging victorious in a thrilling final against St John’s College, with a solid score of 35 - 25!
Congratulations to Siyabulela Tekana (Most Steals) and Benedict Agommuoh who were selected for the All-Stars Team for their exceptional performances, and to Benedict Agommuoh who was crowned the MVP of the Tournament for his extraordinary impact throughout the event.
This victory would not have been possible without several key contributors' unwavering support and dedication. Our coaching staff played an instrumental role, with Coach Vipes (Head Coach) and Coach Fungai (Assistant Coach) continuously inspiring and pushing our players to reach new heights with their expertise and encouragement. A special mention goes to our MIC of Basketball, Mandla Faku, whose leadership both on and off the court has been pivotal in shaping the team’s success. We are equally grateful to our parents and supporters, whose boundless energy and commitment have provided the motivation and foundation our players needed to excel. Together, this collective effort has truly elevated Saints Basketball to new heights.
A big thank you to St David’s Marist Inanda for hosting a fantastic tournament yet again and fostering a spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie.
This triumph is a testament to the hard work, perseverance, and passion of our players and the entire Saints community. Together, we are building a legacy where champions are born, and memories are made!
