KENYA : Queens calm storms
By Erick Ochieng’
Eastern Queens thrashed Sprite Storms 64-19 in the return leg of a Kenya Basketball Federation League match at Nyayo National Stadium gymnasium.
Queens won the first quarter 15-6. Sue Mumbi started off Sprite Storms with a two-pointer and Joyce Alividza added a half basket following a foul awarded to them. Hilda Indasi netted a three-pointer to give Queens into an unassailable lead.
Sprite Storms, whose players made a mass exodus to Queens at the beginning of the league, upped their game in the second quarter but were edged by the winners 10-8.
Occasionally, the handful spectators at the gymnasium would cheer as Angela Luchivya and Mumbi co-ordinated their play upfront.
Storms made the best use of time outs called by their coach, Dan Halwenge.
Storms lacked ball control skills, while Queens did a lot of miscalculation at the loop. Queens led 25-14 before the teams broke for half time.
Third quarter
Queens were aggressive on resumption and led the third quarter 21-5 before making things totally difficult for Storms in the fourth.
Queens won the last session 18-0 to carry the day with a 64-19 margin. Queens, therefore, confirmed they were superior to Storms having defeated them in the first leg last month.
Yesterday’s game was not as entertaining as the first leg one that left many fans on the edge of their seats. Only Luchivya was in top form yesterday.
She was remarkable with 13 points, a game high in the contest. Team-mate Susan Mwembi managed four. Joyce Nyagol and Brenda Odula scored for Queens 12 and nine points.
