The Legends’ success story began after a season-opening defeat to the T.S. Warriors. But they’ve quickly turned things around, and the team is firing on all cylinders. The name on everyone’s lips is Thomas Katiah, the Royal Legends’ undeniable ace.
Katiah was already a star last season, averaging an impressive 15.5 points per game. This season, he’s taken his game to a whole new level, exploding for a remarkable 17.8 points per game and boasting an EFF (Efficiency) of 115. He’s simply unstoppable.
There were whispers throughout the offseason of Katiah potentially joining the LPRC Oilers, a move that would have seen him compete in the Liberian Basketball League’s top tier. However, Katiah chose to stay loyal to his Royal Legends team, with his sights set firmly on the championship trophy.
Katiah’s heroics extend beyond the Royal Legends. He recently led Sinoe County to victory in the County Meet Basketball Championship, solidifying his reputation as a winner. He also walked away with several individual accolades and a healthy dose of cash prizes.
With Katiah at the helm, the Royal Legends show no signs of slowing down. Their winning streak is a testament to their hard work and determination. The entire league is on notice – the Royal Legends are here to stay, and Katiah is a force to be reckoned with. Keep your eyes peeled, big man – we’re watching you!
