Meanwhile, Bukedea Comprehensive has lined up a strong team that will compete for glory this year, as they hope to assert themselves among the national heavyweights.
Uganda U17 skipper Elvis Ssekajugo will represent Bukedea Comprehensive in the 2024 Zonal, District and National Schools Championships.
To join Bukedea Comprehensive, a school owned by the Speaker of Parliament Anita Among, Ssekajugo left Royal Giants High School, Mityana where he featured for the previous editions.
Upon completion of his Uganda Certificate of Education, he joined the school where he will both attain his Advanced level education, but also nurture his talent.
Last year, Ssekajugo helped Royal Giants to the semifinals of the USSSA National Schools Championships before they lost to St. Henry's Kitovu after post-match penalties.
