Morung Express News Mokokchung | May 22 Mokokchung’s most prominent basketball club, the Highland Dazzlers, will be participating at the Sun City Basketball Tournament at Kohima for which a twelve-member squad along with three management staff will be leaving for the state capital tomorrow. This is the first time that the club, or any team from Mokokchung, will be competing in a basketball tournament outside of Mokokchung since the Highland Dazzlers’ last exploits in 2008-09. The team comprises of young boys whom the management claimed could possibly be the “youngest team” at the ensuing tournament. The boys playing for Highland Dazzlers were picked by the management with the objective of promoting basketball in Mokokchung who underwent practice sessions under their supervision at the Queen Mary Higher Secondary School basketball court. The Highland Dazzlers, a basketball club formed in the year 2001, rued at the lack of a basketball court in Mokokchung and expressed gratitude to the QMHSS authority for permitting them to practice in the school’s court. Basketball enthusiasts in Mokokchung, it was claimed, were left with no avenue to play the game or organize tournaments despite strong fan following of the sport owing to the non-existence of a basketball court in town. The only basketball court at Imkongmeren Sports Complex was subsumed by the on-progress construction of P. Shilu Ao Park. Meanwhile, the Highland Dazzlers have expressed gratitude to all the groups, individuals and well-wishers who have come forward to contribute and support them in “representing Mokokchung at Kohima.”
