From Africa to Alexandria (USA)

The stars of Episcopal boy’s basketball team have been on a remarkable journey together.

Wednesday, February 04, 2009

Living about 8,000 miles away from home, it’s hard to believe Episcopal’s Given Kalipinde and Yao Sithole say they don’t miss home all that much.

Then again, watching them comfortably answer a reporter’s questions over the din of teammates teasing them about the game that just ended, girlfriends, weird looking clothes, and whatever else teenagers think is worthy of postgame fodder – all while the senior duo suppresses their own laughter – could be enough proof for their claim.

“The team doesn’t look at us as outsiders, they just look at us as one of the guys,” said Sithole, a 6-foot-5 forward from South Africa. “They joke around a lot, but they’re great guys.”

The Clifton, Kearsney match up was a tense and close affair that only produced a total 49 points. Neither team was able to score freely Kearsney because they are not sound offensive unit and Clifton as they were hassled by the good Kearsney defense.

Kearsney fell asleep after half time and were only able to score two points in the whole quarter while Clifton took a hard earned four point lead. To set up a tense fourth quarter.

Like a true fanatic I went to see some of the games at the looking forward to enjoying watching the best young talent in Southern Africa, and because the Africa powerhouse Angola was there I would dare to say the best young talent in Africa. With my hopes very high I looked forward with unreserved hope to watch the SA team giving Angola at the very least a run for their money.

So I skipped work and headed to Potchefstroom just an hour and half away from Johannesburg, with my heart beating faster than you can say double-crossover. The drive to Potch was very enjoyable as it reminded me of my annual sojourn to Cape Town, only this year it was earlier and there was no traffic to contend with. With my stereo serenading me with Alicia Keys, Lira and Thandiswa Mazwai my mood became even more optimistic with the promise of Love and Peace these ladies preach. Continue reading »
