Paris 2024: Igoche Mark urges D’Tigress to sustain momemtum after victory over Canada
Mr. Igoche Mark, the founder of the Mark D’ Ball Basketball Championship, was overjoyed as he congratulated the Nigerian Senior Women’s Basketball team, D’ Tigress, on their historic victory. The team had just defeated Canada 79-70, securing Nigeria’s first-ever Olympic quarterfinal ticket.
“This is a testament to the Nigerian spirit of never giving up!” Mr. Mark exclaimed. “The team’s determination and resilience are truly inspiring. They showed remarkable grit and determination, coming back strong after a tough second quarter to win the game.”
Mr. Mark praised the team’s leader, Rena Wakama, and the entire squad for their outstanding performance. “This victory is a demonstration of what can be achieved when we work together towards a common goal,” he said.
What’s even more impressive, according to Mr. Mark, is that the team achieved this feat despite facing challenges. “I am very impressed by their performance, especially considering the fact that they are not being properly catered for at the Olympics. It’s a shame that they have had to overcome such obstacles, but their success is a true reflection of their strength and character.”
He urged the team to sustain their momentum, saying, “This is just the beginning. I encourage you to keep pushing forward, never resting on your laurels. You have made Nigeria proud, and we are all behind you. Go for the podium finish – we believe in you!”
Mr. Mark’s tribute reflected his passion for basketball and his commitment to promoting the sport in Nigeria. His Mark D’ Ball Basketball Championship has been a driving force in developing basketball talent in the country, and he was thrilled to see the D’ Tigress making history on the global stage.
