East Africa ITF Tennis Circuit Day 5

Isaac Stoute
Joshua Luck kept the South African flag flying when he started the day with his singles semi-final match, in the searing heat of Mombasa, a match which was very tough, and which he won 6-4 6-1 against top seed J. Lock (ZIM). The second singles semi-final went to Sadili's special friend, Isaac Stoute (UK), who beat I. Mzai (KEN) 6-4 7-6(6)

Thereafter, the doubles semi-finals came on, with Joshua Luck and our own Amadi Kagoma and though they fought valiantly, they faced a very fresh team of second seeds, L. Harris/B. Scheepbouwer, who won 6-2 6-4. They live to fight another day.

"It was slick down low in the middle of the turns, so I was hoping to get him (Picotin) to spin the tires."                 Picotin held on to the second spot at the finish line. Jamy Begor, Bucko Branham finished in the third and fourth positions.                 Apparent fifth place finisher, Justin Severance fai

Malezi High, St. Aloysious, Lang’ata High, Olympic and Light Academy were the teams present to fight for their place in the finals. The Malezi Varsity, Langata District favourites, came out the gates with fire in their eyes and clearly something to prove. Eddy Amos (PG/SG), freshman, had his first high school basketball depute today verses the St. Aloysious team; stepping in for Captain Zack Okong’o who had an ankle injury and is out of action for the District Play-offs. With their leader out one knew how Malezi would respond, but respond they did scoring a convincing 94 points against their opponents; ending the game with a 94—04 vicotry over the St. Aloysious. Leading Scorers were: Fred Odhiambo (F)   28-points, 15-rebounds, 2-blocks John Madol (SG/SF)  18-points, 8-rebounds, 9-assissts, 8-steals Lwal Mathiang (SF/F)          16-points, 17-rebounds, 3-steals Samuel Mwalo (PG/SG)        16-points
