Dickson crowned ‘Red Bull King of the Rock’

Emmanuel Kwame Dickson from Cantonments last Friday defeated Wilfried Romeo to be crowned this year's "Red Bull King of the Rock" at the Lebanon House in Accra.

Dickson beat Romeo 15-13 in a close final which saw both athletes showcasing their one-on-one prowess in the national finals.

In an interview with the Daily Graphic after the contest, Dickson said "I dedicate this win to my family. In one-on-one basketball, it's all about being strategic and that's exactly how I performed".

Dickson took home a trophy and an undisclosed cash prize for winning the competition, with Romeo receiving a cash prize.

The "Red Bull King of the Rock" is a one-on-one basketball competition which requires individual effort than team work.

A side attraction saw Promise Ofori thrashing Eugenia Asigri 8-0 to win the "Queen of the Rock" on the day.

She also took home a trophy and an undisclosed cash prize for her feat.
