Under the guidance of their experienced CEO Samuel Opio and the unwavering support of their school community, the Bukedea School's Basketball Girls’ team is confident in their ability to compete at the highest level.

“We know that the competition will be tough, but we thrive on challenges,” explains the coach. “Our girls are disciplined, focused, and hungry for success. They have the talent and the drive to make our school proud.”

With each practice session, the team grows stronger, both individually and as a cohesive unit. “We believe in ourselves, and we believe in each other,” says Doreen Adeke, a team player.

“I know this is our first year playing basketball at a national level, but with all that we have learnt, we shall make it to finals and win the trophy as well,” said Adeke.

“Together, we will overcome any obstacle and achieve our goal of standing on that podium.”
