2015 Sprite Ball draw LIVE on TV3

The draw for the 2015 Sprite Ball Championship will be held LIVE on TV3’s Fast Break on Sunday January 4.

The 16 boys and 8 girls will know their group opponents ahead of the championship on January 9-10 at the El-Wak stadium.

Defending champions in the boys division Keta Senior High have been seeded alongside last year’s finalist Presbyterian Boys Senior High.

Opoku Ware and Mfantsipim are the remaining two seeded teams ahead of the live draw.

Pot A will contain three Eastern regional schools plus one Volta region.

Pot B will contain three Western regions schools plus one Central region school.

Pot C will contain Two Ashanti region schools and two Greater Accra region schools.

However, there is a caveat. To avoid clashes with respect to geographical location of teams, a team randomly drawn from a Pot and expected to fit into a group which contains a seeded team from same region will be moved into the next group adjacent the seeded team – ensuring there are not two regional teams in one group in the boy’s category.

In the girls division, champions TI Amass and Aggrey Memorial have been seeded.

Pot A will contain two Greater Accra schools

Pot B will contain a representative each from Eastern and Western regions.

Pot C will contain a school each from Central and Western regions.

The caveat here is – a team randomly drawn from a pot is placed alternatively under the seeded teams in the two groups: A & B.

Senior Marketing Manager of Coca-Cola, Mrs Linda Larbi, the president of the Ghana Basketball Association, David Addo-Ashong and  boxing legend Professor Azumah Nelson will do the balloting.
