Dr. Aggrey’s Basketball Team: Full Details

2024 KSSSA Sports Documentaries.

*Hail the Basketball Boys’ Reigning Champs; Dr. Aggrey*

The mention of Dr. Aggrey elicits excitement in the secondary schools’ sporting world. A maiden appearance and clinching the Boys’ Basketball gold medal, at the 2022 KSSSA National games, is no mean achievement.

Located in Taita Taveta County of the Coastal region, Dr Aggrey Boys High School has a student population of about 2,000. The school’s recent successes can be attributed to the Principal and head coach; Robert Aran Maima. His past glorious moments at Shimba Hills and Kaya Tiwi in girls’ basketball and netball speak volumes about his abilities.

Off the fields of play, Dr. Aggrey, is equally an academic giant at the Coastal region; having posted an impressive mean score of 7.08 (C+) at the 2023 KCSE exams.

The Basketball team is coached by Kevin Maima (Aran Junior) who was able to guide the team to their maiden KSSSA title in 2022, at Nakuru High.

The following year (2023) the school booked a ticket to the East Africa School Games (FEASSSA) after picking a bronze medal at Eldoret.

And, say what? The Coastal boys were back with a bang, clinching gold at this year’s games in Machakos. Their loss against Agoro Sare at the preliminaries didn’t dim their star. They came back stronger to beat the Nyanza outfit at a hotly contested final.

*Reasons behind their success.*

✅The school principal had been very instrumental and supportive.

✅They are the reigning Champs of the Mombasa basketball league (2023)

✅The principal is also very strict when it comes to academics. Consequently, the players are forced to balance both academics and sports.

They are targeting to clinch the 2024 East Africa School Games (FEASSA). Last year, they didn’t perform so well and finished third on the log in group B after Buddo Secondary and St. Bernardette. In the 2022 edition, the Coastal Kings narrowly lost to Uganda’s Buddo at the hotly contested final.
