    Cape Coast Hoops' Chris Angsomwine arrives at Harcum College


    6'9" Chris Angsomwine has arrived at Harcum College. Chris has promised to have a very productive year for Harcum and wants his countrymen back in Ghana to follow along online. He stated that one of his goals is to make Hoops proud of his achievements both on and off the court.

    Chris spent the weekend with his new teammates and coach and has adjusted well to life in the USA. He is especially fond of the food at the school and said he can’t wait to try an authentic Philadelphia cheese steak.

The match against Ceps was a very physical one which saw two Hoops players sustaining cuts they receive from the CEPS players. With the victory against Fire, the team now has two wins and three defeats. Players in the team are confident of wining their remaining matches against Police, Wizards, Flames, and Warrior to make it for the playoffs.

        Very nice videos! Keep them coming. I'm really impressed at the athleticism of the Ghanian players. It's hard to tell if they are well-coached from the highlight videos, but they certainly don't lack the ability to jump!!
        "I really like the attitudes of eagles. They never give up. When they grab a fish or something else, they never let it go. It doesn't matter. In a book, they write they find a skeleton of [an] eagle and there is no fish. It means that the fish beat him and killed him, but he didn't let go." -- Donatas Motiejunas

          Cape Coast Hoops conquers Tema Basketball


          http://www.capecoasthoops.net
          Ask any basketball player and those with knowledge of basketball in Ghana and they will tell you the best players are from Tema. It's no lie as the likes of Daniel Armah, Emmanuel Quaye aka. Rubberman and a host of others hail from that end. They have a good basketball program going there as well boasting of a few teams and the most dreaded of all, the Tema Youth Basketball Team. So hearing of a team coming from outside, not mentioning as far as from Cape Coast, to rule is unheard of. But its history in the making and the so needed change Ghanaians wanted is also moving in the basketball world as well. Yes, Hoops went and conquer. Beating the top three teams, namely, Vikers, Rakers and Tema Youth. It was a one day basketball gala, all play all. Hoops won their three matches against stiff opponents and spectators. Each match was a hard fought one as we were threading on hostile ground. But at the end of each game the lads, who run the coast, always came out victorious. The last game between Hoops and Rakers went into overtime. Upon the team return to Cape Coast with the trophy, the place was on fire as fans congratulated the boys for their achievement. many were pride that Cape Coast still is on top in basketball. Players representing Hoops in the tournament were, Henry Mensah(G-6'1"), Dominic Mensah(G-6'0"), Kojo Bafoe(G-6'4"), John Amoo(F-6'5"), Patrick Ashong(F-6'6"), Mensah Jones(F-6'5"), Alvin Owusu(G-6'1"), Winfred Kauam(F-6'7"), Anas Ben Anas(F-6'5"), Christopher Okpe(F-6'8"), Emeric Malouta(G-6'1") and John Corneh(F-6'5")

                          Hoops is D'Elite Men Champions 2009

                          Dec. 19 '09: The Grand Finale of the D'Elite Stomp the Yard Hoops was held at the Legon Campus in Accra. The ten males champions and ten female champions teams from the ten communities were all in attendance. It was the battle of the titans and basketball fans from all over Accra and also outside of Accra were in attendance. The three courts on the campus ground were all used for the games which started at 10am and finished at 10pm. It was a whole day of class basketball at its best. Hoops was in Group B along with Magic, Atoms, Humble Rastas and De Wolves. Group B were Tema Youth, Legon Lions, Yotive, Panthers and Dream Team. Hoops won three and lost one in the group stages to advance to the knockout round on top of their group, defeating Yotive in the knockout round to set for a final showdown. Humble Rastas who came second in Group A defeated the Tema Youth boys to meet Hoops who earlier beat them in the group stage. In the final they were no match to the attack and defense as the boys who were smelling gold did not let their foot of the peddle beating them for the championship. It was total celebration in the Hoops Camp. If one can right recall, Hoops won the first tournament of the year in Tema and has now won the last tournament of the year in Accra. The other event of the day which many were waiting for was the slam dunk competition. Saykan Bestman of Cape Coast Hoops won the event after jumping over a car in his final dunk. That sent the crowd into a frenzy. Watch his dunks video. We are the Champions and we thank all our fans, supporters and well wishers for been there for us through out and we wishing all a merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
