KSSSA: Lukenya and Dagoretti High claim advantage as Dr. Aggrey bounces back

The battle for the Brookside 2025 Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) Term One National basketball games moved a notch higher on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, at the Shimo La Tewa grounds in Mombasa.
Nairobi representatives Dagoretti High proved the huge winners of the second day action, claiming a comfortable 102-68 over Pioneer School.
The win moved Dagoretti to pole position in the Pool A standings that consist of Dr. Aggrey (Coast), Pioneer School (Central), Dagoretti High (Nairobi), and Friends School Kamusinga (Western).
Dagoretti kicked off their run on Tuesday with a stunning 95-71 victory over the defending basketball champions and coast representatives, Dr Aggrey High School.
Lukenya School joined the capital-based rivals among the teams with a clean slate after Match Day 2 following a 64-56 win over fancied Laiser Hill.
Lukenya had got the better of Sawagongo 87- 75 to kick off their campaign on a winning note on Tuesday.
Nyanza representative, Sawagongo bounced from the opening defeat to down Wajir High 104 – 59 in their second game of the group.
The loss compounded matters for the North Eastern side, who remain winless after a couple of opening games.
Meanwhile, Friends School Kamusinga (FSK) and Dr Aggrey recorded a mixed bag of results in Wednesday’s clashes.
Fresh from being stunned by Dagoretti, Dr Aggrey regained composure to narrowly down Kamusinga in a 75-71 score line.
In the girls’ category, Butere Girls of Western have assured their progression to the next stages after edging M-Pesa Academy 56-27 to make it two wins in as many games.
