Wolff

Wolff got a kingly ride after scoring the winning basket for UG at the UPAC Final.

Nungua Coldstore Shooting Guard Emmanuel Wolff was called on late to save his side in the final of the 2019 BetWay Hoops Tournament.

Wolff delivered a trademark corner three point shot in the final minutes to give Coldstore a 27-25 win over Tema Community 2 and clinch the trophy.

The title is Coldstore’s second straight trophy win in the BetWay headlined community basketball competition. Nungua topped the 2018 tournament.

Wolff was shockingly left unguarded by Community 2 and proceeded to give Coldstore a 27-25 lead and the result stayed same after Community 2 Guard Kofi Attafuah missed two free throw attempts to tie the game.

This is the latest late game winning conversion for the lean marksman who has delivered when called upon in late game situations.

Chief among them was his historic late three point shot with eight seconds remaining for University of Ghana (UG) to clinch the 2016 Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges (UPAC) Basketball Championship over Accra Technical University.

Winning the 2016 UPAC turned UG into a heavyweight in Ghana and Africa; the team has won two Africa University Games Basketball titles in 2016 and 2018 with Wolff a key member of the group.
