Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (PRESEC-Osu) and Kumasi Girls Senior High School are defending champions in the Boys and Girls Divisions respectively.
Ahead of the upcoming Championship, Basketballghana.com takes a look at the top rated Coaches set to miss out on the 2019 edition.
Lawrence Ampiah, St. Augustine’s College
The man who led St. Augustine’s to its only Sprite Ball Title in January 2016, will not be present in Accra next year after the school failed to qualify from the Central Region.
Losing 19-27 to Adisadel College cost Augustine’s a spot in Accra next year as a third place finish was not enough to book a spot in the national games.
James Okine, Pope John
The tough talking trainer has been at the helm of Pope John Senior High School and Junior Seminary’s rise to the top of high school basketball competition in Ghana.
Okine won two bronze medals and placed fourth in his three year run with the Koforidua-based school. After clinching third place in January this year, Okine left his post and has since been replaced by Kofi Elias.
Roger Abaidoo, Wesley Girls
Abaidoo has not enjoyed the best of times since leading Wesley Girls High School to the title in January 2016. Wesley Girls failed to defend its title after crashing out at the group stage in this year’s edition.
Abaidoo will not be present at El Wak next year as Mfantsiman Girls Senior High School beat his side in the Central Regional final.
