The Western Regional Basketball Association is scheduled to hold its annual congress on Saturday February 18 at the SSNIT Hall in the capital, Sekondi-Takoradi; the program is scheduled to start at 17:00 GMT.
Top of the itinerary of the Congress is the election of regional executives for the year with incumbent President Ebo Simpson in line to be re-elected.
For Association Public Relations Officer Nasiru Aboney, planned meet is a necessary one. He said, “We will then be at the SSNIT Hall at exactly 5:00 PM to use ballot boxes and papers instead of our normal basket and basketball to determine the outcome of our Western Region basketball in the years to come”.
Other items on the development of basketball in the region and other related matters will be discussed in the meeting.
The country’s first born player to be drafted into the NBA, Ben Bentil was born and raised in Sekondi and St. John’s School placed third in the Sprite Ball Championship which is Ghana’s biggest high school basketball tournament.
