The fourth quarter, which was the last round, sealed the first-ever trophy for the Falcons as they humiliated Customs 78-53.In an exclusive interview with PREMIUM TIMES, Falcons Coach, Jibril Baba, said hard work made them succeed in the competition.“After winning the Sam Akpueje Championship, we knew what we wanted while going to the NBBFFINALS and we went for it. We knew it would be a back-to-back game as you said and we were prepared for it.
“We are going to expose them, they need exposure. Everyone that will be added to the squad started as them too.”Kwara Falcons ended their impressive show with one of their players, Dada Samuel clinching the Most Valuable Player Award.
