"We've had an excellent run in the sub-county games, which has bolstered our confidence," said Naftali Ambala, Ng'iya Girls basketball coach.
"Our girls have shown tremendous improvement, and with the momentum we have, I believe we are well-prepared for the county games."
In volleyball, Ng'iya Girls are equally ambitious. Coach Kevin Olaka has set a target of reaching at least the semifinals, a step up from their preliminary stage exit last year. Despite fielding a young team comprised mainly of Form Ones and Form Twos, Olaka is confident about their chances.
"We are in a rebuilding phase, but we are making significant progress," Olaka noted. "The goal is to advance systematically and with minimal pressure. Last year, we learned valuable lessons from facing strong teams like Aluor Girls and Nyakongo. This year, we aim to perform better."
Ng'iya Girls' volleyball journey to the county games has been impressive. They triumphed over Father Gulik Uradi Girls 3-1 and Siaya Township 3-1 in the group stages.
They then beat Dibuoro Secondary 3-1 and secured the sub-county title with a thrilling 3-2 victory over arch-rivals Mbaga Girls. Olaka is particularly confident in the leadership of Form Two student Spinker Akoth, the Alego-Usonga Volleyball Girls MVP.
In racket games, Ng'iya will field a strong contingent, with eight students set to compete in the county finals.
Sandra Tindi, Purity Awuor, Annabel Gloria, Emily Atieno, and Maya Angeloi will represent the school in table tennis, while Celyne Lyne, Ashlyne Kamais, and Divina Valary will take on the badminton competition.
