Basketball in Africa

The Kenya Basketball Federation League continued on Saturday with all matches observing a minute of silence in honour of the departed KBF referees Seif Luali and Vincent Kimuyu who perished in a tragic road accident this week.
The two were among nine passengers who died when the matatu they were traveling in collided with a canter at Makuyu black spot on their way to Muranga Teachers College for the national college games.
The highlight and one of the toughest matches of the day on Saturday involved Trail Blazers and Strathmore with only two points separating the winner and loser.
Strathmore were victorious with a 49-47 triumph in a match Shem Otieno of trail blazers had 18 points.
Angela Luchivya’s 15 points inspired Sprite Storms who sank Strathmore 42-34 while Shimba Hills had no mercy over Mennonites ripping them apart with a 53-14 scoreline.
