Barlet/Misomali Family, this is a welcome idea and i would have loved if we could also have a seperate tournament to honour some great men who did some great things for the CEZOBAL family -putting us on the map!; i.e. Adolf Onions -probably the grandfather of basketball in Lilongwe; Peterson Zembani: probably the brightest talent that ever graced the basketball courts -won MVP at Chanco Shield when he was about 12years old; Moto Khama: the biggest name ever in Lilongwe basketball; Kella Zimpita; the heart of Civo Banks; of course, Dave Misomali: the most intimidating and energetic player we will ever see on the court; the likes of late coach Mackson Kazombo,
Adolf deserves particular mention: the basketball court at Lilongwe was HIS initiative; the first ever residential basketball camp in Malawi was facilitated by Adolf; Big Boys basketball team was a hub of boys from Lilongwe from different backgrounds who found mentor-ship and role model in Adolf; the guy put up a lot to educate and lead the basketball generation of that time. I treasure the time i was with him, the harsh voice telling me to "stop running, this is not Olympics, its basketball!"... If you can, please approach the families of the fallen heroes and seek their permission if we could play a memorial tournament in their honour. am excited to see Team Dave Misomali! ndatha ine Sule.
