While new champions will be crowned in boys' football and volleyball, Butere Girls, Kesogon Secondary School and Oyugi Ogango will be out to extend their reign at the helm of girls' football, volleyball and netball.
The three are the only surviving champions from last year's games that still have a chance to successfully defend their trophies.
Butere's Red Commandos survived an early scare to rally from two goals down to beat Coast's Kombani Secondary School 3-2 and remain on course to retaining their title.
They will face off with Nyakach Girls from Nyanza in a repeat of their second Group B match. They will be out to avenge their 1-0 preliminary loss that dented their perfect run.
In volleyball, holders Kesogon will renew rivalry with reigning East Africa champions Kwanthanze in the girls final. Kesogon will be wary of Kwanthanze who will be out to recapture the title they lost last year.
Kwanthanze came from a set down to beat Nairobi's Soweto Academy 3-1(21-25, 25-14, 25-14, 25-20) while Kesogon eliminated record national winners Lugulu Girls from Western in straight sets of 25-11, 25-16 and 25-6 to set the stage for the final.
In the boys contest, former national and East Africa champions Cheptil will lock horns with Friends Boys High School Namwela in the final. Cheptil from Rift Valley dismissed homeboys Nyabondo 3-0(25-20, 25-22, 25-22) while Namwala recovered from a slow start to seal a finals slot with a 3-1(22-25, 25-22, 25-9, 25-21) in the semis.
Netball defending champions Oyugi Ogango (Nyanza) will play Bumala AC (Western) in the final. Oyugi humbled Kinale from Central 99-20 while won 38-24 over Andersen from Rift Valley.
Losing semi-finalists will be hoping to win their third-place playoffs matches and bag the remaining tickets to Mbale.
