Mighty Barrolle continued their dominance over the LBA with an impressive 88-81 victory over Cestos Mogars in a highly anticipated matchup at the SKD Gym last night. The night belonged to Chibuzor Joseph, who put on a historic performance, grabbing a monstrous 30 points and 20 rebounds.
Joseph, also known as “Big Chibu,” was a force to be reckoned with in the paint. He dominated the boards, collecting a staggering 12 offensive rebounds, and was a perfect 8 for 14 from the free-throw line. This performance etched his name in the LBA record books, becoming the first player in recent history to achieve a 30-point, 20-rebound double-double.
While Joseph was the star of the show, valuable contributions from teammates Julius Kpakolo (19 points) and Joel Martor (14 points) ensured a comfortable win for Mighty Barrolle. Despite a valiant effort from Mohamed Traore, who led Cestos Mogars with a game-high 39 points, Cestos Mogars couldn’t overcome the relentless Barrolle offense.
This victory strengthens Mighty Barrolle’s position at the top of the league and fuels their ambition for a three-peat championship title. With Chibuzor Joseph leading the charge and his teammates providing excellent support, the Barrolle juggernaut seems unstoppable.
The question on everyone’s mind: can any team challenge Mighty Barrolle’s dominance? With such a dominant performance from Joseph and a well-rounded team effort, it appears Mighty Barrolle might have a smooth path to the championship. But the beauty of sports lies in its unpredictability. Will another team rise to the occasion and slow down the “Rollers”? Only time will tell!
