After winning their first East Africa medal last year, reigning national basketball champions Butere Girls Senior School are now determined to secure a top two finish at this year’s games that begin on Friday in Morogoro, Tanzania.
Butere Cannons, who have dominated the local stage since bagging their maiden national gong in 2023, are now eager to rule the region.
However, they will be without key players who are currently in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, on national duty with the national team. Point guard Trixy Akinyi, centre Rihanna Nyalando and guard Brenda Akinyi are representing the country at the 2026 FIBA Under-18 Afrobasket Championship.
