On Saturday, August 3, 2019, the National Secondary Schools Term Two Games came to a close in Kisumu, with Mogonga PAG Secondary School from Kisii County in Nyanza emerging as the new boys' volleyball champions.
Defending their title in the girls' volleyball category, Kwanthanze Secondary School from Machakos County, Eastern Region, successfully defended their title after a tough 3-2 win over rivals Cheptil Girls Secondary School from Rift Valley in the matches played at Kisumu Polytechnic grounds.
In the boys' finals, Mogonga PAG Secondary School easily dismissed Rift Valley's Lelmokwo Secondary School 3-0 (25-16, 25-19, 25-13) to win the title for the first time after finishing third on their debut at the games last year in Eldoret.
Enock Kiptum of Mogonga PAG was named the Most Valuable Player, while Sharon Jeruto of Cheptil won the accolade in the girls' affair.
"We lost the game because my players kept celebrating whenever we won a set which allowed our opponents to punish us on counter attacks. I am, however, content with the silver medal judging by the distance we have covered to reach the finals," said Cheptil Coach Ann Birgen.
Her Kwanthanze counterpart, Justin Kigwari, was over the moon, saying he overwhelmed his opponents tactfully.
