The 19-year old had the game-high 20 points adding nine rebounds and two assists for Sommet in his team's victory, helping them to edge out Victoria C. (#9, 8-10) 75-72. Sommet is placed at 2nd position in Ugandan NBL. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Sommet will need more victories to improve their 13-7 record.
