Former national champions Mombasa Baptist High School turned the tables as Aga Khan Academy, Mombasa, surrendered the boys’ basketball title during the Mombasa County Secondary Schools Term One Games at Shimo La Tewa High School.

It was a bitter pill for the defending champions to swallow as they had dominated the final match only for Baptist High School to apply their tricks in the dying minutes of the game to win the match by two baskets, 74-70.
