Maseno Bounce Back From Shock Defeat

Defending B Ball champs Maseno (Nyanza) bounced back from a shock defeat by Friends Kamusinga (Western) to register a 60-51 victory over Shimba Hills High (Coast).
All is not at the Maseno camp though. It was pretty clear that the lakeside lads laboured to contain and eventually wrap up their victory over the seaside boys. Though Maseno lead all the way, it was not until the 4th quarter that they started to open up a gap against the boys from Shimba Hills. Maseno depended too much on forward Samuel Odera and seem to have a lack in depth in their bench. Having lead 13-11 in quarter 1, Shimba pushed them all the way and Maseno could only manage a 26-23 lead at the half. At the closing of Q3, Maseno was ahead 48-43 with star Shimba Hills guard Mwalimu Heri causing all kinds of trouble for Maseno.
