From the annual basketball awards on Friday night at Imperial Royale Hotel, champions DMark Power, the bulk of whom are part of the men’s national team, held their party in Entebbe on Saturday.
Power stars Ben Komakech (play-offs) and Norman Blick won the Most Valuable Player’s awards for the play-offs and regular season respectively while the team collected a Sh3m prize from MTN.
Point guard Emmanuel Enabu was voted rookie of the year while Joseph Ikong took the top scorer’s gong as Power clinched a fourth league title after a thrilling 4-3 finals victory over Warriors. “I am glad to have won an award but I think each one of my teammate deserved it too,” Blick said to sum up their dominance.
It was another significant step for basketball with Fuba introducing awards for rookies, most promising coach and best coach. The latter went to UCU Canons’ Nick Natuhereza and Charging Rhino’s John Omondi. Of the 34 trophies handed out, women’s division champions UCU Lady Canons left with happy faces.
Maureen Amoding took the postseason MVP award whereas teammate Lorraine Akinyi took the top scorers’ award. KIU Rangers’ Judith Nansobya is now the reigning regular season MVP.
