The Gambia's under-16 boys and girls basketball teams did well at a recent tournament in Dakar, Senegal. They both finished in third place at the FIBA Africa Zone II championship.
The Gambia Basketball Association is proud of the teams. They say the players showed a lot of heart and talent against tough opponents. The teams made The Gambia look good.
The GBA thinks this success shows that basketball is getting stronger in the country. They say it's because of help from the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the National Sports Council. Their work to support young players is paying off. The kids are starting to get noticed outside of The Gambia.
Coming in third place is a big deal for both the boy's and girls' teams. The GBA believes it will get more young people excited about playing basketball. They hope it will make the next group of players want to do even better.
The GBA is very happy with the results. They think it will help basketball keep growing in The Gambia. The whole country can be proud of what the young teams have done.
