The top end sneakers are to be given out to Mfantsipim School and Shama Senior High School for winning the 2019-2020 Sprite Ball Championship in the Boys and Girls Division respectively.
Each player (12 in all) on the winning school’s roster gets a pair of the “Kyrie Five” Nike sneakers; the gesture honours a promise the Brooklyn Nets Point Guard made in the aftermath of the celebrated competition in the West African nation.
