For the past two years, the MTN-Fuba men’s division I league has been dominated by DMark Power and Kyambogo Warriors as Mountain Dew Falcons took an undesirable backseat.

Power and Warriors have won the last two titles thereby almost wiping Falcons record six titles from everyone’s memory. Now Falcons have come out fighting as their 98-38 annihilation of Knight Riders at YMCA court, Wandegeya on Saturday night manifests.

Having lost Eric and Henry Malinga to Warriors and Steven Omony walking out, the odds are stuck against them. But the new cast is making a statement as Mike Buzangu, who joined from Rwanda’s APR, thrilled, hustled and bullied on his way to a game-high 21 points. It was the Entebbe side’s fourth defeat in their opening five games as the relegation fight is becoming all too familiar.
