Basake Holy Stars aim for top-four finish, says Coach Smith

Basake Holy Stars head coach Johnson Smith issued a bold declaration ahead of the new season, insisting his side will challenge for a top-four finish in the Ghana Premier League. After his team's previous campaign, Smith praised his young squad for their fighting spirit and unexpected performance but warned that the next season will be different.

"The boys are up-and-coming talents and not well known, so kudos to them for how they fought and where they finished in the league," Smith remarked. He then set his sights higher, stating, "Next season, clubs will see what I'm capable of. Basake Holy Stars will be a force to reckon with and will challenge for a top-four finish."

Basake Holy Stars exceeded expectations in the just-ended campaign, defying their status as a newly promoted side by securing their place in the top flight. Smith, recognized for his tactical organization and ability to bring out the best in young players, expressed his belief that his squad is only getting started.

As the new season approaches, the coach's confidence signals that Holy Stars are no longer just fighting for survival; they are aiming to compete with Ghana's best.
